About a month ago, I posted about my wedding dress nightmare that involved poorly-done alterations, a black mark on my gown and a lysol wipe. Here's the original thread, for anyone interested:...

Yaaaaaaaay!! Sorry I've been pretty absent the last few weeks. The month of June is hell for me at work. I hope everyone is well. We booked our honeymoon tonight! We're going to Jamaica and staying at...

Connie in Planning, on June 24, 2016 at 10:36 PM

Good evening, all! I am using pocket folds and decided against getting inner envelopes. How do I address invitations to indicate that children and guests are invited? For example, would something like...

What is the best piece of advice you'd give newly engaged couples?
Connie in Planning, on June 17, 2016 at 12:14 PM

Aside from the obvious (no cash bars, don't kick out bridesmaids, etc), what is some personal advice you'd give someone who's just started planning their wedding? Obviously I'm not married yet, but in...

Do you write names on pocket folds?
Connie in Planning, on June 15, 2016 at 7:17 PM

Hey, all! What it says. We got our invitations today from WPD and we ordered pocket folds. Since there's no inner envelope, do we write guest names on the pocket fold or just leave it? My google-fu is...

Holy customer service, Batman.
Connie in Wedding Attire, on June 10, 2016 at 3:57 PM

I bought my dress back in January. It came in fairly quickly, and I started alterations very early. One, because I knew I would be picky about the bustle and two, they told me that they start initial...

RSVP/Menu Questions
Connie in Planning, on June 2, 2016 at 3:53 PM

Hello, all! I'm getting ready to order invitations and need some help with the RSVPs. 1. Do I do a generic choice, such as chicken, beef, vegetarian? Or do I keep the full meat options? I'm thinking...

Connie in Style and Décor, on May 27, 2016 at 12:19 PM

Hey, all! I had this sign made on Etsy from something I saw a few months back on Pinterest. We're both big travelers/adventurers (we got engaged in Paris!) and thought it was perfect for us. Looking...

Lip Color Opinions
Connie in Wedding Attire, on May 26, 2016 at 12:55 PM

Hello, all! I'll start by saying this: I'm really weird about having stuff on my lips. I almost never wear makeup, so I had 3 makeup trials and finally the last one did exactly what I wanted! My MUA...

Messing with your FH (in a fun way!)
Connie in Community Conversations, on May 25, 2016 at 11:34 AM

Does anyone else like to mess with your FH about the wedding? Specifically, I like to mess with him about my dress. I've been extremely secretive about the dress for no real reason, hah. The only...

Significant weight/size gain the day after the gym?
Connie in Fitness and Health, on May 19, 2016 at 3:42 PM

Hey, all! When my dress came in, I found that I couldn't fit into it, so I worked really hard for a couple of weeks and was able to fit in with no problem. Hooray! Then, my dermatologist prescribed...

Connie in Wedding Attire, on May 15, 2016 at 6:28 PM

I need some shoes for my self-catered, cash bar wedding where i've replaced 3 of my bridesmaids and instructed my guests to wear ONLY neon orange or don't bother coming. So anyway. I need some help...

NWR: When acne isn't acne. RANT!
Connie in Wedding Attire, on May 10, 2016 at 5:28 PM

I've been dealing with what I thought was fairly severe acne for a couple of years now. Seeing as I'm getting closer to the wedding, I thought I'd bite the bullet and go to a dermatologist. Nope, not...

Connie in Wedding Attire, on May 10, 2016 at 12:22 PM

Hey, all! As part of the wedding gift, I'm going to give my girls the jewelry they'll wear during the ceremony. Obviously I will also get them individual non-wedding-related gifts as well. My sister's...

Connie in Planning, on May 9, 2016 at 5:51 PM

Hey, all! We're looking into ordering invitations soon and I have to admit, I'm a bit confused about all of it! Inner envelopes? We're going through Wedding Paper Divas and it looks like we have the...

Veil Opinions
Connie in Wedding Attire, on May 2, 2016 at 9:40 PM

Hey, all! I originally bought a fingertip veil and had serious veil regret. I found a cathedral veil that works perfectly with the embellishments on my dress, but I feel like it isn't long/full...

Connie in Wedding Attire, on April 27, 2016 at 11:53 AM

Hey, all! I know I'm being silly, but I need someone to talk some sense into me! I took my dress into Alfred Angelo for alterations a few weeks ago. The seamstress didn't try to zip the dress (I...

NWR: Workout/Body Rant, With Some TMI.
Connie in Fitness and Health, on April 27, 2016 at 6:09 PM

I've been working out around 3 days a week. I've been doing a recumbent bike, rowing machine and a treadmill, then moving to the weight machines to try to lose weight and tone things up. Also, I...

Free Wedding Rings? Scam?
Connie in Wedding Attire, on April 26, 2016 at 9:58 AM

Hey, all! I got this email today from The Knot. I went to the website and picked out a couple of rings and put in the code and it did say 0 dollars. However, it seems too good to be true. I've read...

Anyone Else a Klutz/Walking Down the Aisle Alone?
Connie in Planning, on April 26, 2016 at 12:13 PM

For quite a few reasons, I will likely be walking by myself down the aisle. I do have 3 Inch heels (my feet can't work with flats and I typically do walk very well in heels), but the ceremony is...
