Anyone NOT do a card box?
heidi in Planning, on August 11, 2014 at 10:06 AM

I've seen a lot of posts about card boxes. I wasn't planning on making/buying one. Did anyone not do one for their wedding? How did that go?

What is your reception hall charging for china?
heidi in Planning, on August 10, 2014 at 3:39 PM

Our reception hall is charging $7 a person, which we thought was pretty high. The only other option is styrofoam, which is included. While we didn't want to use styrofoam, the china is option...

My fiance and I have been receiving Men's Wearhouse coupons from the day we walked into the store (we've also moved twice. I don't know how they find us). Normally, it's just their usual coupon...

heidi in Etiquette and Advice, on August 8, 2014 at 1:26 PM

I came across this article and thought it had some interesting points. From not being able to get the ring on your groom's finger to the likelihood of getting sick once it's all over....

Special Thank You for out of state guests
heidi in Etiquette and Advice, on August 8, 2014 at 9:02 AM

Most of our wedding guests will be coming from out of state. I know travel and board add up and I'm trying to think of some special way to say thank you. I found one suggestion to include travel bags...

Getting back RSVPs - insight and advice
heidi in Etiquette and Advice, on August 4, 2014 at 7:23 PM

I've read posts of brides feeling disheartened when they received a decline. My reaction has been more of: "Oh, one less meal to pay for!" LOL. Of course then, I'm like "Oh, wait, who declined? Was it...

Reception: Sit Down Meal or Munch and Mingle?
heidi in Etiquette and Advice, on August 1, 2014 at 3:40 PM

I just wanted to get some opinions. Our venue offers two eating styles for the reception. We can have a seated meal with everyone at a table or hors d'oeuvres where everyone has a chair but no tables....

Now I need a bustle? WHAT?!
heidi in Do It Yourself, on July 30, 2014 at 4:09 PM

I'm so frustrated right now. I picked up my dress from the seamstress today, and I was thinking about how I was going to attach the train to the dress so I don't trip on it (didn't know what the...

RSVPs: Stamps, none, or other?
heidi in Planning, on July 22, 2014 at 7:55 AM

I've seen several posts lately of brides and grooms bemoaning that they paid to place postage on RSVPs cards and hardly any of their guests mailed them in, opting instead to either call or use the...

heidi in Planning, on July 19, 2014 at 9:56 AM

Still kinda smarting over the cost of my veil. If I could do it over, I probably wouldn't have gotten it or at least taken the time to search for something cheaper. It was a spur of the moment buy....

So I sat down and made the groomsman boutineers over the weekend and they came out great! I just forgot to make one for the groom, and I need to do the BM corsages. But I'm really happy with how they...

Has anyone done a sand ceremony?
heidi in Planning, on July 18, 2014 at 7:41 AM

FH and I are wondering how to pour the sand, as in the physical act of pouring it. We keep seeing stock photos that have this zig zag effect, but is that realistic? Is there a way to actually achieve...

Anyone wish they'd gone without the veil?
heidi in Wedding Attire, on July 17, 2014 at 9:44 AM

I hadn't given buying a veil any real thought at all. When I bought my dress, the consultant showed me a few veils, and I just went with it (because, of course, you need a veil, right?). Afterwards, I...

Struggling to find a Recessional Song
heidi in Planning, on July 17, 2014 at 8:35 AM

FH and I are struggling to choose a recessional song (after we say "I do" and walk down the aisle together). We're looking for something upbeat and fun. We're considering "You're My Best Friend" by...

Price of adjustments?
heidi in Wedding Attire, on July 14, 2014 at 11:48 AM

I'm going to talk with a seamstress this week. I only need the hem done and a piece of fabric moved out an inch. This fabric is a flap that goes along the back of the corset to hide your skin. It's an...

Might need tubes in ears before honeymoon ...
heidi in Etiquette and Advice, on July 13, 2014 at 12:57 PM

I've been having issues with pressure and what feels like water in my ears since March. I have seen an ENT and am currently on the last treatment option before the only thing left is to have tubes put...

How to compile list for DJ
heidi in Planning, on July 14, 2014 at 7:58 AM

My fiance and I don't have personal playlists of songs - no ipod or itunes or anything like that. Usually, we just turn on Pandora and go. I guess we might need to spend a day or two with that to...

Where to buy bulk candy?
heidi in Do It Yourself, on July 12, 2014 at 10:24 PM

I'm trying to find somewhere to get bulk candy at a good price. My fiance and I bought little favor boxes and we wanted to put candy coated chocolates in them, like M&Ms or sixlets. But I'm having...

When to ask for RSVP?
heidi in Planning, on July 11, 2014 at 8:19 AM

We are going through the proofing process with invites, and I'm worried about our RSVP date. Once the invites are approved, we should receive them within 5 business days. But we also need a couple...
