Who's doing edible favors?
Elyse in Planning, on July 29, 2015 at 9:28 AM

At the moment my plan is to do some lindt truffles in a little box, but I'm open to other ideas, so what's everyone else doing? My BMs already did personalized M&Ms for my shower. Also, if you want,...

2nd Dress Fitting Miracle!
Elyse in Wedding Attire, on August 1, 2015 at 1:45 PM

Long story short, my dress had to be let out a LOT, like 5 inches a lot. The seamstress knew she could stretch it to about 4 inches bigger but I'd have to lose the rest. So of course I'm feeling the...

First proof of cake topper is here!
Elyse in Community Conversations, on July 31, 2015 at 1:41 PM

I find these hysterical and I just wanted to share them with someone! I think they look pretty good and I can't wait to see them all painted! Not a bad turnaround time either considering I ordered...

RSVPs are already coming in! And a question...
Elyse in Planning, on July 27, 2015 at 7:13 PM

Wow I'm shocked. I just mailed invites on Thursday and people got them and already sent back some RSVPS and booked hotel rooms! Anyway, I knew this would be a problem but I put it off - we have a...

Plus Size Bachelorette Dresses?
Elyse in Wedding Attire, on July 21, 2015 at 4:10 PM

Where are you getting yours? Anyone wanna share pics? All of my usual places are coming up short. Rent the Runway, Torrid, Macy's, Lane Bryant, ModCloth. I was hoping for something white with a little...

Navy Blue Tux Rentals?
Elyse in Wedding Attire, on September 30, 2014 at 2:37 PM

Has anyone had luck with finding a place that will rent navy tuxes? Men's Warehouse only does black or gray. Joseph A. Bank has them now but is merging distributors with Men's Warehouse in 2015....

What are you doing for lunch?
Elyse in Community Conversations, on July 23, 2015 at 11:15 AM

I'm counting down the minutes till lunch because I'm headed to the post office for the 3rd time this week to drop these babies in the mail! The invites definitely put me in IDGAF mode so they aren't...

Vendor Negotiations - Videography
Elyse in Planning, on June 18, 2015 at 2:49 PM

I think I have finally decided to work video into my budget. I was originally not going to do it because my photographer's company is a bit pricey for me. My planner referred me to a company that will...

First DIY Complete Nautical Table Numbers
Elyse in Do It Yourself, on June 2, 2015 at 10:33 AM

They came out better than I thought. Below is my inspiration pic and then my numbers. They only had 6 plaques so I just did the even numbers to start out. I may switch up the plaque shape for the odds...

Spinoff: Show off your former BM dresses!
Elyse in Community Conversations, on May 27, 2015 at 9:46 AM

The uglier the better! While this dress wasn't very bad, it was definitely too tight and I had to double spanx to fit into it. I was in another wedding but luckily I dropped out and didn't have to...

How much time off before the wedding?
Elyse in Etiquette and Advice, on May 21, 2015 at 11:50 AM

This may be geared more for the married ladies, but how much time do you think you need off before the wedding? Our wedding is on a Saturday and RD on Thursday. I'm definitely taking Thursday and...

NWR - Virtual Job Interviews
Elyse in Etiquette and Advice, on May 26, 2015 at 4:42 PM

Has anyone had to do one or are there any hiring managers that use them? I just found I have to do one and I am super nervous. I feel like there's so much more pressure with this format than a regular...

Honeymoon is booked! Woohoo!
Elyse in Honeymoon, on April 30, 2015 at 12:02 PM

I booked our honeymoon yesterday for a week at Excellence Playa Mujeres in Mexico! FH and I have never been on a real vacation together, so it's going to be a new experience for both of us! I know a...

Elyse in Do It Yourself, on April 28, 2015 at 11:20 AM

I finally finished undergrad last night (woohoo!), so I'm back into planning mode and looking to start my first DIY. Table numbers! My inspiration pic is below and I'm trying not to waste money by...

How long is the "party portion" of your reception?
Elyse in Planning, on March 11, 2015 at 1:50 PM

For some reason that gap post earlier made me go check my event order again. Everything is at one place so it’s back to back, but after dinner I realized it only leaves 1.5 hours for dessert and...

Overzealous GMs
Elyse in Wedding Attire, on March 10, 2015 at 10:57 AM

The GMs have been up my/FH's butt for the past 3 months about their attire. The tux place tells me that they don't typically start working on this until 10-12 weeks before the wedding. We are still 6...

How long before the crazy came out?
Elyse in Planning, on March 8, 2015 at 9:39 PM

For me it was this weekend - 7 months into the engagement and 6 months to go. I thought I would come out unscathed and drama free when it came to the guest list. Mainly because the guest list has been...

Got my first vendor rejection
Elyse in Planning, on March 3, 2015 at 10:17 PM

An officiant. I shouldn't be surprised since I am trying to find one at the 6 month mark and the good ones are probably gone. Blahhh I'm just bummed. This has been the hardest part of planning for me...

What’s your pet plan for the day/night of the wedding?
Elyse in Planning, on February 17, 2015 at 1:39 PM

This is what is currently stressing me out. FH and I will be away from home for at least 24hrs. Anyone who would normally watch our dog (parents, friends/BP members), will be out with us for most of...

Grrr Hotel Block Rant
Elyse in Planning, on March 2, 2015 at 12:48 PM

I booked my hotel block in December, which I think is pretty early, but it was something I wanted to secure because it is walking distance to my venue and eliminates the need to provide extra...
