Would this be rude? *update in comments*
Crystal L. in Wedding Attire, on May 21, 2015 at 11:33 PM

I just made a new friend from my son's school. We totally clicked right away and became almost instant friends. We've known each other for like two weeks now, and she's been to our house when I've had...

NWR: rant *update in comments*
Crystal L. in Wedding Attire, on May 21, 2015 at 11:25 AM

Grrr. I was a member of Curves, and I had to cancel my membership due to health issues and the fact that with all the wedding planning, I can't afford the membership anymore. I signed the contract to...

Crystal L. in Etiquette and Advice, on May 20, 2015 at 1:59 AM

I'm getting ready to send out our invitations soon, and I'm wondering, for those that have sent them out already, or even those who haven't, but are knowledgable on these things...should I send all...

Chair bows, yes or no?
Crystal L. in Style and Décor, on May 13, 2015 at 2:54 PM

Our venue has these chairs (pictured below), and we cannot afford to rent or buy chair covers. We were thinking about possibly just doing sashes/bows on the backs of them. Would that look ridiculous...

Toasts...etiquette question
Crystal L. in Etiquette and Advice, on May 11, 2015 at 10:36 AM

Is there any etiquette behind asking people to give toasts? I'd like my parents and his parents to give a toast at our wedding, even if it's just a small one. I have not asked them, though, for fear...

Is it just me, or, is it totally fun gawking at wedding dresses, even when you already have a dress you're completely in love with?! I love seeing everyone's dress posts, and looking through wedding...

Invitation help, please...
Crystal L. in Etiquette and Advice, on May 7, 2015 at 11:13 AM

So, I know that etiquette states that you should send invites out 6-8 weeks before the wedding, unless it's a destination wedding, for which you should send them 10-12 weeks in advance. My question...

Racking my brain...how to decorate this fireplace??
Crystal L. in Style and Décor, on April 29, 2015 at 5:19 PM
