I think we finally found a venue.... so why am I anxious about booking? (rant)
Judi in Etiquette and Advice, on October 7, 2016 at 11:22 PM

We found the venue of my dreams yesterday - it everything i could dream of - amazing views, picturesque farmhouses, imposing but elegant barn setting, a gazebo, a beautiful tree by the ceremony area,...

when a prospective vendor just isn't into you (the case of the mysteriously shrinking venue)
Judi in Planning, on September 30, 2016 at 3:14 PM

I spent the majority of this week emailing different venues, and I was particularly excited to hear back from a specific place that listed their guest capacity for weddings 150 on their website. When...

still searching for a venue..... (Paging Celia)
Judi in Planning, on September 28, 2016 at 10:21 PM

I'm on the hunt for a vintage or rustic (read: laid back) style venue that offers decent catering in NY/NJ/CT/E.PA and I don't mind DIYing a lot of stuff.... (I've posted before that I am visiting...

Anyone find a decent template (or spreadsheets) for comparing venues?
Judi in Planning, on September 27, 2016 at 10:45 AM

I'm actually trying to create my own with columns like "cost pp" "fees" "pros" "cons" "DOC inc" "limitations", etc but am struggling with categories and making it look streamlined. Has anyone come...

Just for Fun: What kind of post do you *most* look forward to?
Judi in Community Conversations, on September 26, 2016 at 3:29 PM

The Ring threads? The Trolls that let you release built up sarcasm? The BAMs? The naive newbies who are sincere and take advice? The drama? The DIY projects? Me? I love seeing everyone's "I said yes...

Guest list disparities
Judi in Etiquette and Advice, on September 24, 2016 at 3:36 PM

So my family is big and my guest list for family alone is 91 so I'm not inviting any coworkers and a handful of lifelong friends. my FH has zero family invited so he would like to invite his whole...

stressing over parent's meeting
Judi in Planning, on September 22, 2016 at 10:34 AM

We finally set a date (Oct 29) for a meet and greet for the 2 families. We decided that a dinner party at my house (FH doesn't live with me) is best because of the number of people (9 adults, 5...

Judi in Wedding Attire, on September 20, 2016 at 3:49 PM

I am stuck between two dresses and two very different styles! one is fun and quirky and different and I love it but the other is beautiful and regal and so flattering and I can't choose! thoughts?!...

after the wedding: joint or separate accounts?
Judi in Etiquette and Advice, on September 13, 2016 at 9:58 AM

I just read a magazine article that said that maintaining separate accounts reduces the trust and bond in a married couple. It suggested that opening a joint account be one of the first things you do...

Will FMIL feel excluded?
Judi in Etiquette and Advice, on September 13, 2016 at 2:41 PM

As I'm prepping the 'will you be in my bridal party' stuff I'm wondering about my FMIL. We're very polite and civil to one another but aren't necessarily close and I dont want to do any more to have...

Need Help with wording for groomsmen's proposal...
Judi in Do It Yourself, on September 13, 2016 at 11:40 AM

So I found these cute socks that have a little tux on the front and say "to have and to hold" on them and I'm going to use them as groomsmen gifts for the request. I'm going to put them in a little...

Is this song overdone as a first dance?
Judi in Planning, on September 12, 2016 at 3:35 PM

"shut up and dance with me" is a special song for FH and I and it makes us laugh and dance and just makes sense to us, BUT, since I never listen to popular radio (wow, way to sound so hipster but its...

sharing: anyone looking for little lanterns?
Judi in Style and Décor, on September 9, 2016 at 5:01 PM

I went by Christmas Tree Shoppes to get a little inspiration for centerpieces or decorations. I found these really adorable lanterns, there about 6 to 8 inches high. They include the LED candle, but...

"you shouldn't start planning the wedding if you dont have a ring" RANT/VENT
Judi in Etiquette and Advice, on September 9, 2016 at 11:36 AM

My FH hasnt bought me a ring yet. or maybe he has bought it and hasn't given it to me yet. But we're planning a wedding and he has already told him parents and family (and most imporantly ME). He is...

what is a groom's cake?
Judi in Community Conversations, on September 7, 2016 at 9:09 AM

I definitely have heard about them for years, but I've never seen one, and I'm not sure what purpose they serve. I know that usually pretty cool looking, and aren't as traditional or formal as wedding...

Judi in Planning, on September 6, 2016 at 4:38 PM

I am still considering a (semi) destination wedding of a 3 hour drive. What would be more convenient, from a guest standpoint? Option A: Sunday Brunch so that people can drive in on Sat, be treated to...

Is the wedding for you? or for your guests?
Judi in Etiquette and Advice, on August 18, 2016 at 10:29 AM

I've very recently starting to plan a wedding - FH and I aren't so much into the traditional setup (and Jersey is ridiculously expensive) so Plan A is to have both the ceremony and the reception 3...
