I hope this question isn't too dumb... I realize invites typically go out 6-8 weeks in advance, but I haven't been able to find a solid answer if this is 6-8 weeks in advance of the actual wedding or...

I almost strangled him. FMIL directed us to one of her good friends (who is a travel agent) for guidance on planning our honeymoon. FH has seen some numbers and doesn't believe we can afford a...

FSIL wants to look at wedding dresses and she's not even engaged... Here are the facts: 1) She is FH's older sister and she is going to be a part of the wedding as a bridesmaid. 2) She has had since...

Just wanted to see if there were any ladies out there who had tried Excellence Punta Cana. FH and I have been looking at possibly staying there for our honeymoon. I've heard that the hotel is great,...

It looks like there’s a similar thread going on this, but I thought I would ask anyway because my situation is slightly different. FH’s aunts have very generously offered to throw a bridal shower for...

I don't want to be a nagging bride... I have 6 bridesmaids: three of my closest friends, my FSIL, and my two younger cousins. We went shopping back in August and (surprise!) and found an awesome dress...

We went to a wedding on Saturday and FH was the best man. I thought I would share my experience with all of you because there are some things I’ll be taking back to my own wedding planning...

We spent one of our Thanksgivings (yes, we had 3...) with FH's family and his mother brought up Christmas while we were all together. (I've posted about her money struggles and bonkers behavior when...

I've posted a couple of times about the headaches that have come from my FMIL's offer to throw us our RD (we're appreciative of her offer, but she wants to have a 70 person RD out of her tiny little...

I have posted a couple of times about my FMIL. She and I have always gotten along fairly well, but the wedding seems to have brought out the crazy in her (as it tends to do). She calls FH about once...

The STDs went out less than a week ago (we sent them out about 8 months prior to the wedding because we have enough OOT guests to make it necessary); they had the wedding website link on them so...

FH and I started working on our registry this past weekend (the STDs were sent out and I know more than a few people who were invited like to rush out and buy the gift as soon as they get the STD so...

I am an anxious person and I worry about almost everything. I am also an over-planner (in an effort to help my anxiety). I've been pretty much fine with the wedding planning until now (minus the...

I know there have been a few similar registry threads floating around out there, but I thought I would ask anyway because FH and I are starting our registries this weekend so we can add them to the...

I was listening to the radio on my way to work this morning and the hosts of one of the morning shows I listen to did a story about a wedding guest who got a bill for $75 because she had to...

FH and I designed and ordered our STDs from Vistaprint about a month ago. They turned out amazing and arrived much sooner than expected! (I've been meaning to share them on WW, but I haven't gotten...

This whole wedding planning thing has caused my FMIL to go a little bit crazy. She’s normally very laid-back and happy-go-lucky. She made it very clear that she wanted to be as involved as possible...

I’ve mentioned FH’s step-sister on here before. She’s a bit immature. She’s also the mother to an adorable 4-year-old girl I’ve known since she was 6 months old. FH and I decided on setting an age...

My father has a lot of issues with alcohol and drugs. He managed to be sober for an entire year a few years ago, but has since fallen completely off the wagon. I have always been a Daddy's Girl, so...

I received my acceptance for Grad School last night and I'm excited and nervous. It took me a little bit longer to get my Bachelors Degree because I was working toward simultaneous degrees in English...
