How did you find your venue?
Gen in Wedding Reception, on April 8, 2019 at 12:19 PM

We often talk about why we chose the venue that we did, but let's talk about the process behind how we all found the venues that we ended up choosing for the most important day of our lives! Was it an...

Best man wants me to chip in for groomsman’s hotel???
Gen in Etiquette and Advice, on April 12, 2019 at 4:57 PM

Ok this is super ridiculous and there is a context to it but it’s CRAZY. Surprise bachelor party was supposed to be tonight and tomorrow. Best man and 1 groomsman were flying in from across the...

Ring insurance—“value” vs price?
Gen in Wedding Attire, on November 19, 2018 at 10:50 AM

When you all insured your engagement rings, did you insure it for the amount that was paid for it, or for the amount that the appraisal said it was “valued”? Last week insured my ring for the price my...

“but my friends are important to you, too!”
Gen in Family and Relationships, on April 7, 2019 at 2:52 PM

No Mom, they’re not! I have 3 full tables of her friends (for context, only 2 tables are my friends, and 2 are FH’s) and she keeps claiming that her friends are “our friends” and that since I’ve known...

Gen in Planning, on April 4, 2019 at 12:14 PM

Officially under 60 days, I seriously can’t believe it. I feel like suddenly my anxiety has multiplied. Both excited-anxiety and nervous-anxiety. I also feel like crying all the time lol. Both happy...

Gen in Parties and Events, on April 5, 2019 at 3:10 PM

Ok so I've always wanted to give some sort of a toast/mini-speech at the rehearsal dinner, just to thank our close friends and family and maybe say some nice things about FH lol. But now that it's...

Tried to make things easier for groomsmen... and boy did it backfire!
Gen in Wedding Attire, on April 4, 2019 at 3:30 PM

Just a rant because UGH why do people make simple things soooo complicated??? Since groomsman are scattered across the country, we wanted to use a tux rental place like men’s warehouse or the black...

Wedding bands!
Gen in Wedding Attire, on March 16, 2019 at 1:27 PM

We just picked up our wedding bands! Took a 30 minute walk around the jewelry store area and wore them, but now they’re back in the box until the wedding. 2.5 MONTHS until we get to wear them every...

Gen in Parties and Events, on April 1, 2019 at 10:26 AM

Can't believe I'm finally getting to post one of these! My MOH visited from out of town this weekend, so I had a pretty strong feeling that my "surprise" shower was going to be then, but I knew...

Reasons for bailing last minute
Gen in Family and Relationships, on October 24, 2018 at 1:12 PM

I’ve always gotten amusement out of scoffing at guests’ lame excuses for bailing on here so figured I’d just share what happened to me. Not my wedding, but a friend (let’s call her M) is getting...

Groom's hair gel?
Gen in Hair and Makeup, on March 25, 2019 at 12:58 PM

So my FH literally never does anything to his hair, he kind of just lets it do what it's going to do, and sometimes it looks really nice on its own but sometimes he gets pieces sticking up where they...

Gen in Wedding Attire, on March 23, 2019 at 1:51 PM

My mom and grandma are both having trouble finding something to wear... they both say everything they find is either not dressy enough, or “too young” for them lol. Please share some of your MOB and...

Does she know her kids aren’t invited?
Gen in Family and Relationships, on March 25, 2019 at 10:05 AM

We’re having a child-free wedding, so we were (1) very clear to only address our invitations to those who were invited (2) listed on our details/rsvp information card how many people were invited and...

My mom’s “friend” has been awful a week before my shower
Gen in Family and Relationships, on March 25, 2019 at 9:58 AM

So my mom has had this friend for over 20 years, who I have also known my whole life but I’m not super close with. Anyway, she is invited to the wedding and to my “surprise” shower (that’s still kind...

My venue stresses me out
Gen in Wedding Reception, on March 19, 2019 at 2:32 PM

Providing yarmulkes?
Gen in Wedding Attire, on March 18, 2019 at 3:53 PM

So my FH and I are both Jewish, though not super religious. We’ll be signing a ketubah, I’ll be standing on FH’s right, he’ll be stepping on a glass, and he’ll be wearing a yarmulke and talit. But we...

How do you know if your invitations have been delivered?

I started thinking about this a few days ago when one of FH's friend's invitations was returned to us by the post office almost 2 weeks after we sent it. Luckily this one came back to us so we know...
