Anyone interested in making this a weekly thread???? I think, just like the Q&A thread, this can be a safe place for advice, encouraging words, and questions. Doesn't matter where you are in the TTC...

I'm in a pickle with a friends uninvited plus one. FH and I decided only couples in relationships got dates when we formed our guest list. Basically anyone that had an SO when we sent STD's in March,...

Is there any etiquette with cashing checks or monetary gifts received before the actual wedding? We've received a bunch so far and only cashed one. We're basically going to send the thank you once we...

I go both ways on this. I have my hair and makeup trial on 8/1. I invited my BM's and we're making a day of it, super exciting. When i told my MOH about it, her first questions is "why, aren't you...

Inspired by the thread talking about colors. There has been some drama in my family that apparently I'm a bridezilla for "dictating" what the flower girls will be wearing. It was decided long ago that...

I've dyed my hair every 8 weeks for the past 2 years. Different things but usually a same version of the same, partial highlight, all over color, and tone. I only use salon quality products such as...

Our rehearsal is in the morning followed by a rehearsal brunch/lunch. FH and I will go separate ways after that lunch around 3pm. He will be going golfing with his guys. What are some ideas you can...

While reading the trend thread, this struck me as an idea. My grandma passed very suddenly on Thanksgiving and my mom just hasn't been the same since. She always brings up how my grandma would have...

Maybe i'm stuck in etiquette so I'd love a second opinion. We attended a wedding end of February and gave cash in the card. They're our really good friends and were leaving for the honeymoon at 7am...

Has anyone else struggled with letting themselves be the center of attention? My girls have come to me saying they are starting to plan my shower after I've slacked on giving them details of what I...

We booked our photographer a year ago from the recommendation of friends. We got a great deal from the referral at nearly $1200 off the price it should be. We paid our initial deposit and she...

Now that i have a new dress, i need all new accessories. My previous shoes were a strappy nude leather that worked with my organza dress but don't really work with glitzy satin. Anyone have links to...

I got my dress at Davids in September. I'm completely disproportionate and none of the samples fit so they measured me for the size to order. I wear a size 10 and in DB bridesmaid dresses a 14. The...

Anyone experience stupid fights as you get closer? Like fighting over picking up the dry cleaning that just blow up into a fight that comes out of no where. FH seems like each of these fights make him...

My dress right now has a hidden zipper covered by buttons. As you can see in the picture(hopefully) the buttons continue onto the butt even though the zipper stops about 6 inches before. Mine and DF's...
