What’s an aspect of planning you have fun doing?
Gen in Planning, on October 2, 2018 at 5:17 PM

Dealing with beyond awful FIL drama the past couple days (whatever you’re thinking, I promise it’s worse 🙄) and really wanting to drown myself in a fun aspect of wedding planning to take my mind off...

Engagement ring spinning is driving me crazy
Gen in Wedding Attire, on October 5, 2018 at 11:26 AM

My engagement ring was too big and always spinning so I got it sized down slightly a couple months ago, and it's still too big. I'm seriously so confused about this though, because my engagement ring...

So we were originally just going to play music over speakers for our ceremony, but then realized that one of my family friends who I have known our entire lives is an extremely talented flutist (he's...

Bridal shower?
Gen in Parties and Events, on October 1, 2018 at 11:39 AM

I'm really conflicted on this. My mom keeps asking me if I want one, and saying she's happy to throw it for me with the help of my bridesmaids (who have also offered) but I just don't know if I want...

Getting a new license after name change
Gen in Married Life, on October 3, 2018 at 11:43 AM

So just curious if anyone has done this, I know when your license expires you can sometimes just mail in to get a new one, but I'm wondering if you can do the same for when you change your name after...

When to cut your hair
Gen in Hair and Makeup, on October 2, 2018 at 4:11 PM

How far before the wedding are you all/your future spouses getting your hair cut? I feel like my hair always needs at least a month after getting it cut to grow a little and look more natural, but...

"downsizing" our honeymoon // Hilton Head, sc suggestions?
Gen in Honeymoon, on September 29, 2018 at 3:51 PM

We both got 2 weeks off for our honeymoon, and decided with our "let's go wherever we want in the world!" mindset that we were going to go to Italy. Though, long story short I suppose, it wasn't very...

Gen in Etiquette and Advice, on September 26, 2018 at 3:12 PM

So basically, our photographer is from a small boutique place with only a few full-time employees, and some freelancers. She is one of the full-time people, and she also brings a second freelance...

Veil length?
Gen in Wedding Attire, on September 25, 2018 at 12:30 PM

So, I was kind of assuming I'd get a finger-tip length veil because I felt like that would look better with my dress, but every time I see a floor length or cathedral length veil I always loooove how...

App/website for shared to-do list?
Gen in Planning, on September 25, 2018 at 1:45 PM

I feel like 50% of my to-do list (wedding related, and just life in general lol) is "remind FH to do xxx." Has anyone found a good electronic to-do list that will let you share the list with another...

Country songs for first dance?
Gen in Wedding Reception, on July 19, 2018 at 5:06 PM

FH and I are both huge country music fans so we really want our first dance to be a country song, but we can’t seem to agree on one! So far we are thinking maybe Diamonds and Twine by Ryan Hurd or...

Uneven guest list guilt
Gen in Family and Relationships, on September 20, 2018 at 2:24 PM

We currently have 130 on our list (originally wanted 100). Only 30 are my FH's guests. The thing is, out of the 100 that are "mine," only about 20 of them are friends that are JUST mine. The rest are...

It's starting to feel real!
Gen in Planning, on September 20, 2018 at 11:41 AM

This sounds silly because I've been engaged for 9 months, but for the first 6 months of the engagement I had a very different vision and expectation of what my wedding would be like. 3 months ago we...

Full names vs nicknames on invites
Gen in Etiquette and Advice, on September 19, 2018 at 4:49 PM

"our song" as first dance song, or new song?
Gen in Wedding Reception, on September 19, 2018 at 1:10 PM

So FH and I are extremely conflicted between 2 songs for our first dance. FH really wants to use the song History in the Making by Darius Rucker, which has been "our song" since we first started...

Bridal expo
