Bridal Pampering Package by Mary Kay
Corinne_ in Wedding Attire, on May 14, 2015 at 2:13 PM

I 'won' a bridal pampering package by Mary Kay and I'm really not sure if I should go. I did some research and some people said it was a huge ripoff, other said it was fun. Do any of you have any...

Thumbtack photographers
Corinne_ in Planning, on May 21, 2015 at 7:37 PM

After I read here about thumbtack, I put up a request for quotes and got several. One of them we like, but I'm just surprised that what he quotes is way under what he mentions on his webpage. Do you...

S/O Not living together before marriage
Corinne_ in Planning, on September 15, 2015 at 6:38 PM

I'm curious what makes people decide not to live together before getting married? Is it mainly tradition or religion? I'm not judging, I'm just trying to understand. How did you do it if you are...

Wine based signature drinks?
Corinne_ in Planning, on September 10, 2015 at 8:52 PM

Our venue is in a Park, so only Beer and Wine are allowed, which is totally fine with us (and a great way to save money). We will provide our own alcohol to our caterer and the package includes a...

Countdown book for the groom
Corinne_ in Planning, on May 9, 2016 at 5:23 PM

We are nearing our 100 day mark and I was thinking about doing a countdown book for the last 100 days. Has anybody done that? What book did you use? I was thinking of a simple Molkeskin, but of course...

Corinne_ in Planning, on January 28, 2016 at 5:42 PM

FMIL put our invites together and we are almost done with it. The paper she got has those little pockets that are normally used for RSVP cards, but since we are using WW for online RSVPs we were...

Calligraphy?
Corinne_ in Do It Yourself, on January 27, 2016 at 1:34 PM

So I'm thinking about learning how to do calligraphy, just for fun but also to be able to label some of the stuff for our wedding, like the place cards for example. Has anybody done it? What set did...

Alternatives to corsages?
Corinne_ in Style and Décor, on November 18, 2015 at 4:15 PM

I hate the look of corsages, they look very prom-y to me (without actually ever having had a prom, but I guess movies influenced me). If you still want to make the MOB and the MOG feel special, what...

DIY Photobooth Props
Corinne_ in Do It Yourself, on November 10, 2015 at 1:51 PM

The photobooth we got is relatively cheap (but it still has great reviews!), so everything costs extra of course. They have a prop package for $50, but I feel that's a lot for what we'd get....

Corinne_ in Community Conversations, on November 5, 2015 at 2:21 PM

NWR/KWR: Insomnia/ Valerian Root
Corinne_ in Fitness and Health, on October 29, 2015 at 6:41 PM

I'm putting KWR because I tend to stress out over things and even with the wedding being far away, I'm still stressing. I have trouble sleeping lately, I barely fall asleep and I wake up in the middle...
