Too fast for a first dance song?
Christine in Planning, on August 18, 2013 at 8:16 PM

Help with headtable!
Christine in Planning, on August 14, 2013 at 9:32 PM

Oh the issue of seating at a wedding. I'll make this short as possible. The Best Man is engaged, and I feel guilty not having those two sit together. I was thinking about maybe having those two sit...

Napkin problem!
Christine in Planning, on August 7, 2013 at 6:08 PM

Would it look odd if I did a brown engraved napkin and then a plane burgundy napkin as a pattern for the place settings, or should I have all the napkins engraved? An example would be one place...

Registering for gifts....some issues.
Christine in Planning, on July 21, 2013 at 3:27 PM

I went to my local Wal-Mart, which is in what many of you would call a "small-town". Apparently I can't go around and scan gifts, and I have to do it online. But, as we all know that not all Wal-Marts...

So this is going to sound like a stupid question....
Christine in Planning, on July 16, 2013 at 8:11 PM

So with the birdcage card holders at hobby lobby, do the guests have to open the "lid" in order to put the card in? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I never had to use on of them. I have...
