So my mother offered to pay for our venue and she called them yesterday to ask what the final payment would be so she could send them a check. At the end of the convo the lady she spoke to said "OH by...

How are you doing escort cards?
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on September 3, 2015 at 1:46 PM

I have been toying with the idea of using river rocks with names written on them in metallic marker so they don't blow off a table. However some friends suggested printing a chart and putting it in a...

Tired Wedding Trends: Which ones are you sick of, or are doing anyway?
GrayCatVintage in Do It Yourself, on March 6, 2014 at 3:41 PM

While Pinterest is wonderful for inspiration, I think it has ruined basically everything "unique" about weddings today. You see something on there and you think "OH HOW CUTE" only to find about 3 of...

One month out for a first fitting?
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on August 29, 2015 at 8:33 AM

When I bought my dress the boutique gave me a deal with their in-house alterations lady to "fix" my dress. My dress is OOAK and off the rack it is 12 sizes too big. I was hesitant to purchase it with...

Really Upset This Happened
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on August 28, 2015 at 3:18 PM

So, I had no idea that FH's mother-son song was a big secret he was keeping from his mom. My mother and my FIL's came over for dinner and to make conversation my mom brought up the song FH chose for...

Something that is NOT 1st Corinthians
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on August 27, 2015 at 1:07 PM

We met with our officiant - we are stoked. He already did a mock up of what our ceremony will be like and what he will say. I am 100% good with everything he came up with - except 1st Corinthians....

GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on August 6, 2015 at 6:01 PM

I sent them out on Saturday, the first three came today - yep - not a single return address. I used a green colored pencil to "hide" the number in the leaves on my RSVP cards, otherwise I would have...

Two deaths and a "do not mail" - Invites
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on August 3, 2015 at 5:54 PM

Invites went in the mail on Saturday morning. In that time (between Saturday and today) two guests have died and my mother removed my grandmother's invitation and gave a long winded spiel about not...

Invites are in the mail!
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on August 1, 2015 at 2:48 PM

And what a pain in the ass it was I ordered "send and seals" because I fell in love with the design. Well...send a seals can absolutely come apart in the mail so I ordered envelopes for them on...

Corsage drama.
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on July 26, 2015 at 12:24 PM

About a month ago I made a post about if corsages were necessary - everyone agreed they were old fashioned. Well, since then my mom has INSISTED that since I made bouts for the men, I MUST have...

Play Lists and First Dance Songs
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on July 19, 2015 at 5:57 PM

I have narrowed down first dance songs to 10 different ones and I am going to make FH choose (if I give him options and have him choose from those the outcome is usually good). However, I am sort of...

GrayCatVintage in Do It Yourself, on July 18, 2015 at 2:02 PM

So I need to decorate two arches. Below is a picture taken at my venue from another wedding. The venue director said they do not care what we hang on the arch just as long as it is removable. We can...

Both my girls are coming from opposite sides of the country so I do not want to laden them with large totes or anything cumbersome for their return flights. I am going to order them both real pearl...

Are you doing wrist corsages for the ladies?
GrayCatVintage in Etiquette and Advice, on June 26, 2015 at 5:37 PM

So I made all the men really nice boutonnieres - even one for FFIL and my brother who will be an usher. I was going to make wrist corsages for the ladies as well - my mom, FMIL, and my grandmother....
