Places to buy seat cushions?
Frugal Gator in Style and Décor, on January 11, 2016 at 1:48 PM

Instead of renting chairs, we're planning on using some wicker chairs at our ceremony venues. Unfortunately, the wicker is sticking up on most of them and they don't have enough cushions for all the...

Veil Makeover with Pics
Frugal Gator in Do It Yourself, on December 31, 2015 at 10:23 AM

I decided a while ago that I wanted to wear my mom's veil, but didn't really understand that veils don't necessarily go with every dress. In addition to being attached via a crown of fake 80s flowers,...

Is postponement insurance as useless as it seems?
Frugal Gator in Planning, on December 5, 2015 at 11:16 AM

I started looking at wedding insurance policies (WedSafe, WedSure, and Markel), and it basically looks pointless. There are limits on every category and some of the categories I don't want. For...

Out-of-Town Guests No-Showing?
Frugal Gator in Planning, on December 4, 2015 at 12:41 PM

I've seen a lot of brides complain about guests who RSVPed "yes" not showing up the day of the wedding. It seems possible for an in-town guest to just forget or decide they have something more...

Frugal Gator in Wedding Attire, on November 6, 2015 at 9:11 AM

We're going shopping this weekend, and I have no idea what to expect. 3/4 are traveling to where I live to look at dresses, which makes me feel like we have to find something before they leave because...

Frugal Gator in Community Conversations, on October 30, 2015 at 9:02 AM

I thought it would be fun to see where everyone ranks their wedding budget priorities. So rank your top 3, top 5, or all of them if you want. Categories Cake Decorations (includes flowers) Dress or...

Which Open Bar is better?
Frugal Gator in Etiquette and Advice, on October 1, 2015 at 5:08 PM

Option #1: We give reception venue X dollars, they use it in place of guests paying (so the drink prices are $5 wine, $4/$5 beer, $8 cordials, etc.). Once the money runs...
