Hi all! I have gone back and forth on this and while I was once set on doing the visiting tables during the reception to thank guests and say hello, I am now leaning toward standing at the back of the...

The venue we chose was booked very early (last fall). We were told they were going to honor 2015 prices, etc. The location is somewhat of a DW (although just inside of an hour from our home) with...

Hi all - I've been out of town and taking a much needed break from planning but am back and in full force. So the deadline is approaching for RSVPs and we still have a TON that have not sent them back...

I don't get it - what is this phenomenon of guests thinking it is okay to invite other people not on the invitation? The FIL told me today they have had some of their folks ask if they could bring 'so...

The venue that we have chosen is a (nice) pavillion-style place with about 8 roll up doors all around the building. It also has a large paved area outside the front/main doors. All the guests won't...

So everywhere I have read about sending out shower invites says not to overlap shower invites to the same people if there will be multiple showers given. (exception: bridesmaids, mothers,...

Hi, I'm new to WW. I am the mother of the bride, and doing the bulk of the wedding planning work as my daughter and her fiancé are in their last years of college and working. I have read several...
