I started busting my butt on workouts for almost 3 weeks now. This weekend I am going to start running on a 3 month plan to eventually get up to running 10 miles. I can hike 10 miles (rugged) in about...

Almost all my guests will be from OOT/State. I originally planned on sending StD's in either late October or early November. However, I have heard so many horror stories about needing to chop guest...

We are doing a treat table but will have more than enough cake balls for everyone (we are not doing a sliced cake). I want to have a few pies and cookies as well for anyone who might not want/like...

I have always touted the post office at being extremely diligent and good about delivering mail. Well, this week we received TWO, yes, TWO pieces of mail that were almost two months over due. One of...

This is kind of wedding related because a lot of brides-to-be take up weight lifting or other upper body exercise to make their arms look nice in a dress. I am going to start training for another...

I am starting to get on board with my DIY (buying supplies and whatnot). I realized that a lot of people make a photo display for the gift table or other area. The problem is FH and I do not have...

Has any one noticed if there is any type of correlation between people who send a Save the Date cards and then the couple having a hard time getting RSVP's on their official invitations back? My...

All the more reason to keep wedding planning to yourself...lol A friend of mine went to a wedding of one of her BF's this past Saturday. I guess the bride was constantly posting on FB and gushing...

My first cousin and I were raised like sisters and were very close when we were younger. She has a BF that she will eventually marry. I refer to them pretty much as my sister and brother in law. The...

I wrote a blog post about things to consider if you are going to have a lot of elders as guests at your wedding. http://graycatvintage.blogspot.com/2014/06/grandparents-elders-at-wedding-things.html I...

I have been to a lot of weddings and I remember the ceremonies the most. After that, it is all kind of a blur in regards to details. For example, out of 7 or 8 weddings I only remember two centerpiece...

As a bride, what will you honestly do, if anything, if a guest comes to your wedding dressed inappropriately? I mean do you really think you would notice right off the bat if a guest came in jeans...

My grandmother is not a very nice person - and I am being nice saying that. For probably the last 5 years she has hounded my FH about marriage and his job every time we have visited her - which is not...

Did anyone do phone/e-mail RSVP only? If you did, how well did it go over? I am extremely adamant that I do not want to do mail-back RSVP's. Why? Because I personally have been really bad about...
