Is my timeline good?
Emily in Planning, on June 4, 2021 at 12:32 PM

First, I want to add that none of our vendors are wedding professionals. Everyone is a friend, family member or friend of a friend. Including our venue. So, none of them have been able to assist much...

Gift for the Officiant?
Emily in Community Conversations, on April 3, 2021 at 10:42 AM

Our officiant is a family member who is a preacher. What would we get him as a wedding gift? I was thinking about a donation to his church but would be an appropriate amount?

Music during the ceremony??
Emily in Wedding Ceremony, on March 22, 2021 at 6:26 PM

I honestly haven’t been to very many weddings, so I really don’t know what the “norm” is. My officiant asked what songs we will be playing so I sent him the list, bridal party entrance, my entrance...

How do i delete someone from the guest list?
Emily in Account Support, on March 23, 2019 at 5:41 PM

I just saw how I can go under one name and then add their related guests/plus one. I would like to keep certain family members grouped together instead of just adding them separately.
