Uninviting or elopement
Karin in Etiquette and Advice, on September 15, 2016 at 9:36 PM

Karin in Planning, on August 8, 2016 at 9:41 AM

How much it would it be to hire someone for day of coordination? I went to a bridal fair and was told that it could cost $1000. This sounded absurd and was wondering if anyone will being paying...
