I just got a frantic call from my mom about making the final payment on our venue. Our venue charges a per person rate + 8% tax + 19% "administrative fee". The contract specifically says the...

DIY escort card display: Mardi Gras Theme
JDubs in Do It Yourself, on July 20, 2015 at 10:56 AM

My first and only DIY for our reception is my escort card display. We're doing a mardi gras theme, so I decided that we would go with the traditional New Orleans beads-on-a-fence design. I bought the...

Wedding Nightmares?!
JDubs in Community Conversations, on July 13, 2015 at 10:25 AM

Last night I had my latest wedding nightmare: my reception had been moved up a week, so we were at the fire hall, but there were no centerpieces or DJ. Everyone showed up, ate food and left. I was...

Wedding desserts: No cake!
JDubs in Style and Décor, on June 5, 2015 at 2:02 PM

I'm anti-traditional cake (in part because of the cost and I don't really like cake) so we are going with desserts. Since our wedding is mardi gras themed and I'm polish, we will be doing polish...

I'm finalizing details for my July reception (we were married in February) and most details seem unimportant. While I admire people who do cute escort card displays, does anyone really care? Is this a...

Dress Cleaning suggestions?
JDubs in Wedding Attire, on June 5, 2015 at 11:31 AM

Hi Ladies! We got married in February but our reception is in July. My dress looks pretty good except for the bottom, which is really dirty. My dress has a delicate lace overlay with a scalloped...

My wedding this past Thursday was a fairy tale! Even though it was only 45 degrees outside (record cold for Florida), it was a beautiful day. Did I mention that I broke out in horrible hives a few...

Wedding Obsessed! Anyone else?
JDubs in Community Conversations, on January 23, 2015 at 10:04 AM

With less than a month to go until my wedding, I'm having trouble focusing on anything else. Pretty much everything for the wedding is done, but it's all I can think about. Anyone else having this...
