Rehearsal Dinner Seating
Gen in Parties and Events, on May 20, 2019 at 12:56 PM

I seriously wish we didn't have to be this *extra* by assigning seats at the rehearsal dinner, but there is too much internal drama so we are going to have to do this in order to maximize peace lol....

Which side do you put your families on?
Gen in Wedding Ceremony, on May 16, 2019 at 3:21 PM

How many times do you reach out to no-responsers?
Gen in Planning, on May 15, 2019 at 5:12 PM

Wedit is ghosting...
Gen in Etiquette and Advice, on May 13, 2019 at 10:46 AM
