HISballerina in Etiquette and Advice, on November 27, 2013 at 9:21 AM

Our venue allows us to supply the alcohol. We're thinking just beer and wine but I'm a bargain shopper and want a really great deal. I was thinking Sam's but if there is a company that is better...

"I know I'm forgetting something...." is what we're all saying, right?
HISballerina in Community Conversations, on October 14, 2014 at 11:08 AM

Steaming/dry cleaning your dress
HISballerina in Etiquette and Advice, on April 16, 2014 at 9:51 AM

How far in advance do you take your dress to be pressed/steamed/cleaned before the pictures? And should you do it again before the big day? I have a satin ball gown if that makes a difference.
