Should we ask about no-shows?
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on October 30, 2016 at 10:11 AM

We had a few people RSVP yes and no-show, no-call. One I was a little annoyed about because my mom had pushed for him to be on the guest list despite some reasons I thought he would no show, but two...

When to start ceremony?
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on October 19, 2016 at 7:40 AM

Dumb question of the day - when it's ceremony time and I'm ready to go, how is that communicated between me and FH? Do I send someone out to tell everyone to get this show on the road? My hair/mua...

Best Man doesn't want to give a speech
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on October 16, 2016 at 7:40 PM

Ugh. I know, show up, look handsome, can't demand more. But a BM speech is a pretty standard expectation, and 6 days before the wedding, he doesn't want to, and wants to know exactly how long the...

What am I looking for, exactly?
Jenna in Do It Yourself, on October 16, 2016 at 9:59 AM

I don't have a printer, and I feel like this amount of color ink crosses some ethical boundaries in using the office printer, lol, but I want to print my 7 table number cards as 4x6 images on card...

Why you don't invite coworkers to your wedding
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on October 14, 2016 at 10:56 PM

(who you rarely hang out with outside of work) FH is second in command at a big hotel in our city. When he got this promotion his old job was offered to another guy who's been kind of a giant mess for...

Show me your rehearsal dinner outfit!
Jenna in Wedding Attire, on October 13, 2016 at 9:32 AM

I'm still debating exactly what I want to wear, since my job doesn't lend itself to me having a lot of nice dresses and I really can't justify buying a new one. Our dinner after will be fun, but not...

When to see family while getting ready?
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on October 12, 2016 at 9:54 AM

My ceremony is at 3 pm but I need to be at my venue at 10 to start hair and makeup. I'm happy to have my mom and two aunts come in and see me before the ceremony, but I do not want them (ok my mom)...

First dance song that isn't slow?
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on October 12, 2016 at 11:55 AM

Is anyone else doing an uptempo song for their first dance? Our song has always been "Life's A Happy Song" from the 2011 Muppets Movie so we always planned that would be our wedding song (until 2 days...

Phew!
Jenna in Honeymoon, on October 10, 2016 at 5:50 PM

Our honeymoon is finally booked! We decided not to do an international trip because it's way too much stress and money on top of the stress and money of the wedding. We were going to do a road trip,...

How is an open bar billed?
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on October 10, 2016 at 8:27 AM

I know there's different ways of doing it, the most sensible being by consumption. But there's no way to know how much will be consumed until it actually is! I have an estimate written into my...

Just a vent...
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on October 8, 2016 at 4:16 PM

If you have free family childcare available, and you're local to them as well as the venue, why in the sweet hell would you bring a 1 year old to a wedding that goes until 9 pm? Especially if they'll...

"And guest"
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on October 5, 2016 at 3:27 PM

FH's friend RSVPed "for two" but she didn't respond to my question about who the guest is, nor has she she responded to another message today. I'm making a formal seating chart for guests to find...

Assigned seating - under 50 guests
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on October 6, 2016 at 1:53 PM

I had a weird experience at the florist this morning - it drives me crazy when someone says what I must certainly be doing or not doing, and she said "only 44 guests, you're not doing table numbers."...

Songs that are TOO cheesy?
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on October 4, 2016 at 8:58 PM

I am at this moment playing Savage Garden's I Knew I Loved You for my musically oblivious FH, to get his opinion on this song that he has somehow never heard, but I'm also trying to convince myself...

October 2016 Weddings - what are you working on today?
Jenna in Planning, on October 2, 2016 at 8:26 PM

Only 4 weekend days left until my wedding! Today I made seating cards, firmed up details with a friend who's making a decoration for me, and chased down the one remaining RSVP. I should be working on...

Help, I'm too full of emotions
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on September 30, 2016 at 1:34 PM

Oh god, I just got our ceremony from the officiant. I didn't even make it through the first paragraph without ugly crying. This has always been a problem for me - I will happy cry over ANYTHING. We've...

RSVP Deadline
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on September 29, 2016 at 11:23 AM

My deadline is Saturday. Of the four remaining RSVPs, I'm certain one won't come, I know one is just bad at social conventions, I know one is coming but need to know if she's bringing a date, and the...

E pics turnaround time?
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on September 25, 2016 at 9:10 AM

We took our engagement pictures 2 weeks ago. I haven't heard anything from the photographer yet, though of course I'm sure he's busy every weekend. How long is reasonable before getting antsy? We took...

Unfortunately WR: Walking pneumonia?
Jenna in Etiquette and Advice, on September 23, 2016 at 10:58 AM

Uggggggh. As you can see, it's now less than a month (!) until my wedding. My FH has always had ridiculous, nonsensical health problems whenever he gets sick, and he's been miserable all Summer, with...
