After months of frustrated searching, we have narrowed our venue options down to 2. One is a beautiful rental house, with the option for a lot of guests to stay in neighboring houses. The ceremony and...

Hi everyone, I am considering getting a custom wedding dress made with Anomalie (https://dressanomalie.com/). I haven't found what I'm looking for in the stores. Has anyone gotten their dress from...

Regular me would never pay $400 for house cleaning because I have friends coming to stay during the wedding weekend (we will be in the hotel). Regular me would do it myself and put that money...

We modified the gazebo that is in our venue, so Orthodox Jews might say it's not a real chuppah, but it works for us. The canopy is my grandmother's tablecloth. I'm so excited! Just wanted to share. ...

FH and I will step on a glass together and we're trying to decide what. I am not going to pay a lot of money for a special glass. Can we use a glass from the dollar store or is regular glass too...

Our venue comes with a firepit so we are going to have a s'more bar. We thought it would be fun for the kids and, since we're not having a photo booth, another option for people who don't want to...

For our VIP list in the programs, I'm trying to decide if it is better to refer to myself and FH by name or by our "titles," i.e, bride and groom. This is how it appears in most templates, but I'm not...

During a ceremony, do you like being told to please rise for the bride? This is after the bridal party has already processed in. I wasn't planning on having our officiant say anything because I...

Just wanted to share! This sign will be posted at our welcome dinner. It was a low-stakes hand lettering project because if we don't have a sign for our welcome dinner it's not a big deal. It's not...

We will be giving our DJ or Please Play and Do Not Play lists soon. I've got a few songs for each but I am wondering what other people have put on their lists. I am sure there are important songs that...

FH and I are considering hyphenating our names socially after we get married (we would both be MyLast-HisLast). We don't want to change anything legally now, or maybe ever. But I think it would be...

Apparently you have to book them FAR in advance! FH and I are avid travelers but we have never taken a cruise. Frankly, I'm not usually one for relaxing vacations because I like hardcore cultural...

Are you telling your DJ what you want played as the last song of the night? If so, what is it? I'm trying to decide if I want to give my DJ instructions or suggestions for this and if so, what some...

We will be putting our escort cards on a table in alphabetical order. Do we need a sign that says "find your seat" or something, or will people figure it out when they see a table covered in cards?

What are you getting your groomsmen? FH has no ideas (*rolls eyes*). The BMs have really nice silver-and-turquoise jewelry that I got in Mexico, and I picked each piece specifically for each woman...

Has anyone had an English-only ketubah? We are having ours made by our local artist and I'm worried that having both the Hebrew and English will look cramped and make the English hard to read. Neither...

So I went to Mexico City recently (amazing, gorgeous place—everyone should go!) and visited the ancient pyramids outside it. I didn't wear enough sunscreen and got a horrible sunburn on my arms and...

Before he met me, my FILs told my FH that when he got married, they'd give him a chunk of money and that was the last $ they'd give him. They said he could spend it on a wedding and whatever...

Hi all, I'm planning a wedding for next July in the Salt Lake area and really, really love the Cactus and Tropicals Draper location. But! I tend to run hot and get sweaty, and so does everyone in my...
