Anyone else have DRASTIC changes in the type of wedding they thought they wanted, vs what they ended up doing? I always imagined a small, destination wedding on a beach, and I’m ending up getting...

So FH and I were both raised Jewish. Neither of us are particularly religious, but Judaism and Jewish culture is still a huge part of our identities so we intend to have a rabbi officiate our wedding,...

I feel like I’m constantly wishing that I could make my wedding happen faster and almost like I just want to get it over with and get into my marriage. I feel like having a year to plan puts even more...

For those of you who have seen my previous threads, we are on a tight budget and were not intending to hire a videographer at all, we were just going to ask a couple guests to just film the ceremony....

And if so, how much? Not sure what the general etiquette is for this...

Writing both of our names for the return address label seems way too excessive but I feel like it’d be weird to just write one or the other! What did you guys do for this?

Ok, so before I get a billion comments that say “you should hire a videographer!” let me begin by saying I know that would make things a lot easier, but that isn’t the advice I’m looking for lol. So...

FH and I dated through most of college and are getting married just a couple years after graduation... I’ll be 22 and he’ll be 24. It’s just weird because FH has never even been to a wedding before......

So getting an “open bar” at our venue is extremely excessive ($20 per person PER HOUR) so there is no way we are paying that amount because we won’t get our money’s worth at all. Our venue...

I have naturally light brown hair, but I often will dye it to a darker brown just because I like how it looks better... and most people in my life say I look my best with darker hair! I’m debating...

Woohoo! But so I have this group of friends that I've known for about 20 years that I am not very close with anymore, but they are still in my life. I was not intending to invite any of them, but...

I'm reading into the different types of wedding attire, and I can't decide what to put on our website, either "semi-formal" or "cocktail" since from what I'm reading, they seem to be pretty much the...

So 2 out of my 3 bridesmaids and 2 out of FH’s 3 groomsmen are from out of town (like, very far out of town lol) so it doesn’t make sense for us to have our bachelor/bachelorette parties without them,...

Some necessary context is that I only live 15 minutes away from our venue, but I REALLY do not want to sit in the car with my wedding dress on! Unfortunately, since we are having a Sunday afternoon...

We’re having an afternoon ceremony with a lunchtime reception, but how late is too late to begin? We were thinking we’d have the ceremony at either 12 or 1 (30 min ceremony) followed by an hour...

Are seating cards a nece

We handed in our contract and deposit last night, but I just got the signed copy emailed back from the venue! I’m sitting at my desk at work literally tearing up right now because it suddenly feels so...

Anyone else get really awful cramps and afraid that it may be “that time of the month” on their wedding day? I have no idea how I’d even handle this 🤦🏻‍♀️

Planning to send out save the dates via email for convenience/saving some money, but just realized I have no idea when to send them out as in like, what time of day? I’m probably overthinking this but...

So we are planning a “no kids” rule at our wedding, and FH and I don’t have many “kids” in our extended families anyway (most are in their late teens at least) so it works out. But I have one aunt who...
