71 Days left and SOO much to do! HALP! What is the typical order of speeches? Does the groom ACTUALLY give a speech these days? I either wasn't paying close-enough attention or have forgotten the...

I know to of course get bridesmaids some really nice gifts to be given at rehearsal dinner or morning of the wedding, but was wondering about other gifts. At the last wedding I was in, for her shower...

Kindof a sad subject - but it's reality for some of us! Trying to make the best of a difficult situation. I'm less than 3 months away now, and unfortunately I have a condition that puts me in extreme...

Trying to make sure we get gifts for everyone who should be getting one! For parents, are we each supposed to get parents gifts from both of us together or separately? So I mean - am I supposed to get...

Okay so, trying to get this right. I've had some of the most generous guests send over gifts for my bridal shower who won't be able to attend. I've been writing out Thank yous to everyone for every...

One of my bridesmaids graciously sent out all of my bridal shower invitations. She sent my Great Aunt an invitation where two letters of her last name where transposed. My bridesmaid's return address...

Okay here's the situation. There is a family friend, let's call her Jane. Jane is the mother of my brother's and sister's very best friend of over 20 years - he is family to us. Obviously he (let's...

Of course every regular guest's spouse is invited - do I invite the pastor we hired's wife? We haven't worked with him at all before (nor do we go to his church). He will be driving maybe 1.5 or 2...

Okay so we hired a photographer that we loved - we did engagement pictures with her even though we had done professional pictures a year prior because we wanted to get to know her better and get...

Okay, here's the scoop. I totally am on board with the whole, "you must follow a save the date with an invitation" in almost all circumstances (exceptions might be that your venue catches fire and...

Ah! My MOH/sister has told me she is pregnant and I'm SO excited. This will be the first grandchild/first niece or nephew, etc. Baby is due in late December/early January (maybe a New Years baby? She...

Hello! I need help! We'd love to honeymoon in Costa Rica to enjoy a healthy mix of adventure activities and sitting on a beach doing nothing. We are looking for all-inclusive places. We'd love to do...

Here's some background. We are inviting 180 people despite wishing for a smaller, more intimate wedding. FH has a gigantic,very close family. We do not want strangers at our wedding, so that means no...

Anyone else have anxiety about both the cost (of a consumption) bar and of roudy, tacky, rude, intoxicated guests?! We have one guest who we didn't think would come, but supposedly is afterall (though...

Hi there! Not 100% on what to do here. So of course etiquette says that if a STD is sent then an invitation is to follow. What happens though if my parents invited a couple whom they and I have been...

I've been trying really hard to involve my mother-in-law in the wedding. We had her come with us to look at the venue (not even my own parents). She was involved with the food menu choices, linens,...

I'm not sure if I'm over-thinking this. So my FH and I don't expect anyone to help us with financing the wedding at all. Neither of us come from money and wouldn't want to take much anyway. My parents...

Hello! Trying to order my invitations by this weekend! My name is First Middle Last. His name is First Last Suffix, no middle name. The suffix is important to differentiate the generations. I've...

Did you or will you do a first look? Why/Why not?! Particularly interested in hearing if your FH's "love language" is verbal or not (everyone expresses differently)! For example, if it's not, is it...
