are you doing any song dedications at the reception?
cupcake_bride in Planning, on September 13, 2014 at 2:13 PM

We are thinking of dedicating all the slow songs to various couples- like playing their wedding songs and such as like a thank you for being there. Plus, everyone we know has picked songs that we...

if my shower is any indication of RSVPs....
cupcake_bride in Planning, on September 4, 2014 at 9:09 PM

Apparently my mom has only received 20/50 rsvps for my shower. Greaaaat. Hopefully these people can send back the stamped envelope in the mail. I told her it's probably because she put down a phone...

1st fitting! *pics*
cupcake_bride in Wedding Attire, on September 6, 2014 at 2:44 PM

All I need is a hem and bustle! I'm very happy with the way I look and feel. This is tied as tight as it can go, so there's a slight chance I may have to have it taken in, but we'll see. I'm not...

2 months away...finally found shoes! (pic)- also...IDGAF
cupcake_bride in Wedding Attire, on September 1, 2014 at 12:31 PM

First, I am obsessed with the box these babies came in! So cute. I love the blue on the sole. I'm hoping they look good with my dress- first fitting is this Saturday. In other news..apparently my FSIL...

Can I send out invites in waves? I don't mean A and B lists...
cupcake_bride in Etiquette and Advice, on August 30, 2014 at 11:38 AM

I just mean as I complete them, maybe mail 15 a day...or is that not a good idea?

cupcake_bride in Do It Yourself, on August 29, 2014 at 4:24 PM

But alas, I've completed 10 and am sick of it already. haha! I just want to get the RSVPs back already...sigh...53 more to go.

officially starting to question my dress..opinions please! (pics)
cupcake_bride in Wedding Attire, on August 20, 2014 at 9:22 PM

Soooooo I am just really uncomfortable with my arms. I'm 2 months away and really questioning the strapless aspect of my dress. As you can see, it's heavily beaded so I'm not sure what can be done....

Yes or No: are you giving your DJ a playlist?
cupcake_bride in Planning, on August 18, 2014 at 5:43 PM

I was talking to some friends about this, and they thought it was weird that FH and I are handing our DJ a list of about 40 must play songs. They said, "What's the point? A DJ is supposed to be...

my bachelorette was perfecto!
cupcake_bride in Community Conversations, on August 18, 2014 at 11:56 AM

I am just so happy and grateful writing out thank you notes to my girls. The day was just so great. We had perfect beach weather and my one maid created totes for everyone that included sunblock,...

NWR: multivitamins
cupcake_bride in Community Conversations, on August 15, 2014 at 5:04 PM

Does anyone take them? What would you recommend? I ideally want a smaller pill and one that won't make me nauseous. I will check with my doc before buying, just curious if anyone has one they really...

Just got a shower gift...do I open it?
cupcake_bride in Etiquette and Advice, on August 14, 2014 at 11:28 AM

It'd be kind of silly to bring it with me to my shower location which is two hours away. I want to send a thank you right away. It's a large heavy box. Am I breaking any rules if I open it now? My...

*pic* of my centerpieces! Which color linens should we use?
cupcake_bride in Style and Décor, on August 11, 2014 at 4:49 PM

Created this today to see what it will look like for my Nov. wedding. Got the lantern from IKEA, vase filler from pottery barn, and votives from quickcandles.com I guess I spent a little more than...

guest list GUILT..do you have "friends" that keep in touch only by social media?
cupcake_bride in Planning, on August 4, 2014 at 8:02 AM

Ok so I'm way past the guest list stage, but now that we have the actual invitations, I'm feeling guilty about not inviting two girls I was really close with in the past. I recently moved (to live...

NWR:anyone else obsessed with the Food Network?! Who's your fave chef or show?
cupcake_bride in Community Conversations, on July 24, 2014 at 5:02 PM

Maybe it's because my shift ends when all the "good" shows are on in my opinion...but I have really become obsessed with the food network! I LOVE the pioneer woman. I've made so many of her recipes...

cupcake_bride in Married Life, on July 22, 2014 at 3:56 PM

I just can't relate to my very close friend anymore now that she's a new mom. She has an 8-month old son. Needless to say, she's been very busy. I'm trying not to take it personally that she makes...

Which vendors are you tipping/how much?
cupcake_bride in Etiquette and Advice, on July 8, 2014 at 6:46 PM

I feel like a lot of our vendors already included gratuity, like limo/makeup/venue. But I'm wondering about photography, DJ, bakery, and florist? All four have been amazing so far and FH actually...

Alfred A/David's Flower Girl Dresses-How long to come in?
cupcake_bride in Wedding Attire, on July 13, 2014 at 12:27 PM

Has anyone ordered a FG dress already from a chain store? The woman said it takes 10-12 weeks and I'm cutting it close, so she warned me I might need a rush. I am NOT making my sisters in law pay...

Is your bouquet neutral/ivory or bolder colors? Show me!
cupcake_bride in Style and Décor, on July 9, 2014 at 8:43 PM

Here's the look I'm going for plus a few mini sunflowers. The florist told me many brides get ivory or very pale bouquets because bolder colors draw the guest's eye away from your face/dress and go...

If YOU are a bridesmaid-do you give a check to the couple?
cupcake_bride in Etiquette and Advice, on July 11, 2014 at 7:01 AM

I'm just wondering how other people feel about this- I've been a bridesmaid three times now. We all know how expensive everything is to be one, but regardless I've given a check each time because I'm...

November '14 brides! What's up?
cupcake_bride in Planning, on July 9, 2014 at 9:52 PM

I can't believe we're at the 4 month mark. We're right on track with everything but I just made a list of about 25 things to do. A lot of it is making signs just on my own for stuff like the dessert...
