Inexpensive diy guest book?
Gen in Do It Yourself, on March 8, 2019 at 3:06 PM

I feel like this is the perfect opportunity for a fun, low-cost DIY! We do want to have a guest book but I just can’t stand the thought of spending like $40+ on the books we've seen in stores,...

No bouquet?
Gen in Wedding Ceremony, on February 28, 2019 at 2:33 PM

Any brides just decide that bouquets aren’t worth the hassle and money? I feel like it is something that is used for such a small part of the wedding and I’d rather cut this than something else. The...

FH and I have had several people who, upon receiving their invitations, have asked “do you have a registry or would you prefer cash?” So of course we agree with the majority of posters here who say it...

When did you get Rsvps?
Gen in Planning, on March 11, 2019 at 11:10 AM

So we sent out our invitations exactly a week ago. To be fair, our RSVP date isn’t until 5/2 so there’s plenty of time, but I was kind of expecting there to be a bunch of responses flooding in right...

Gen in Parties and Events, on February 25, 2019 at 3:55 PM

So our venue offers complimentary valet parking for our guests. I am wondering what to do about tips for this? Is it us who will give the tip, or the guests who utilize the service? Of course we don't...

Haircut before or after trial?
Gen in Hair and Makeup, on February 22, 2019 at 6:10 PM

I’m doing my hair trial exactly 8 weeks before the wedding. I was planning to get my hair cut around 6-10 weeks before so it’ll be fresh but have time to grow into itself. So I would either be getting...

Catering/venue crisis
Gen in Wedding Reception, on February 21, 2019 at 11:51 AM
