KWR - Is it that hard to take time off for a wedding?
GummyBearSTL in Etiquette and Advice, on May 30, 2017 at 3:42 PM

As an aspiring teacher, you'd think I would be more empathetic about folks not being able to take time off during work to travel. We sent out STDs 8 months in advance. Some people already had plans...

Give me your suggestions for my alternative BM bouquet
GummyBearSTL in Do It Yourself, on May 26, 2017 at 5:34 AM

The crane will be either fancy white patterned/textured paper or fabric. I may spray-paint the lantern gold or rose gold (but I think it might end up being a bad spray job).... Bridesmaids are wearing...

What's your interpretation of these song lyrics?
GummyBearSTL in Planning, on May 12, 2017 at 11:15 PM

So the Song "Somewhere Only We Know" keeps popping up on wedding ceremony songs. I love the music of it, but what do you think of the song lyrics? Do you think it works for a processional? (lyrics in...

Who ordered invites from Cards and Pockets
GummyBearSTL in Do It Yourself, on May 6, 2017 at 1:11 AM

Should I go with a linen 80 lb? 100lb matte? I'd like something textured, but also somewhat thicker. ETA: My invitation design is black and white, text-only; and I plan to print on both sides.
