We have a registry, and don't worry, we aren't asking for donations for ourselves I have a huge heart for animals, and recently heard of some brides requesting a donation to charity of the couples...

I know that wedding planning is stressful, I anticipated that. What I didn't realize was that *people* would be my biggest issue, not planning. I have gotten so many opinions, and I'm afraid to...

I have been debating a brunch wedding because 1) it is cheaper by about $15 pp for food, and 2) as far as booze goes they offer gallons of either mimosas or tropical rum punch for $40 a...

My mom is covering most of our reception (up to a certain number of guests), and FIL have some people they would like to invite and have offered to cover the extra people, which I'm fine with. Should...

So my mom has graciously offered to cover most of our reception and the photographer, I am thinking she didn't realize how much photographers cost.. she heard back from one that is $1200, which...

This may be a long shot but I figured I'd ask! Who are your vendors? Where's the wedding?!

So I got a friend request from someone earlier that I did not know, since getting engaged I have had a few requests from FH's friends (FH doesn't have Facebook so I don't know if we are mutual...

I have a very unique last name, and FH's name is unique, but I don't feel it flows as nicely with my first name and to be honest I just like my name better. I AM changing it, because it's always been...

FH has two sisters that will not be bridesmaids, due to my FH only wanting a certain number in his BP and I've already asked my half to make it equal. Trust me I did make sure no one would feel...

I feel like this might be a dumb question, however our catering has a service charge of 22% and a sales tax of 9.something%, for the service fee, is that considered their tip? or is it necessary to...

Another post was made about this earlier and it made me want to ask for my situation. We are inviting 45 people, 10 of those people are children. FH is dead set on not excluding children on the...

The checklist says to do it in March for my August wedding, but I'm hoping to grow my hair a bit between now and then. Granted it's only 6 months but that's still enough time for a couple inches of...

They offer a PP price for full open bar at $13/pp/hr, but FH and I don't drink at all so we were hoping to just have wine and beer to save money (especially on something we aren't partaking in)...

I hate to make one of those rant posts about not wanting to invite a bridesmaids boyfriend. The thing is he is still technically invited (we haven't sent out invites yet but at this point he's on the...

I decided against the wedding website because 80% of our guests don't use the internet, and our wedding is only 40 guests so if there's any confusion it's nothing a phone call couldn't fix. With that...

I understand if parents are helping it is customary to include parents names as the host, and my parents are helping, but FH parent's are not - not that they wouldn't but we have chosen not to ask...

We just booked our venue today!!!!!! So excited. It's an all-inclusive hotel, so they provide catering, set up and tear down, plus all linens and optional centerpieces. How often have you met with...

We are touring a few different venues, what is the etiquette for touring and deciding they're not the right fit? I don't want to be rude and not say anything, though I doubt I'm the first person to...

Oh this is annoying, our venue is a downtown location and they don't have a parking lot. There are two public parking garages right next door but they are $8/day to use. I asked about paying...

I have read that only 75% of guests will want to eat the wedding cake, and FH and I are planning on just a mini-cake and providing other desserts like macarons and cupcakes, the guest list is 30-40...
