Do we need to tip in cash? I'd much prefer to write a check or Venmo. I don't want to deal with a ton of cash on my wedding day (or any day). I'm in the US, so most people don't carry cash anyway. I'm...

I'd like your opinions on what color dress to wear. (I'm planning this early because I'll take a year to decide). I originally thought I'd wear a red ballgown with gold embroidery, but now I'm...

What's everyone's dress budget? Originally I said $2000, but that just seems ridiculous to me. Even if I wear the dress again, I feel like anything more than $500 is way too much. I'm...

I'll obviously be feeding my vendors a hot meal, but should I make sure they each get a slice of cake? If not to eat at the ceremony, to at least box up and take home?

I haven't seen anything recent on this. I'm going to grad school in the fall and will still be in school by my wedding. I'm a little worried that it might be too much, especially close to my wedding...

I have many guests that will fly in from out of town. The hotel is 2 hours away from the nearest airport and there's no public transit. I want to provide a shuttle from the airport to the hotel. I'm...

I've seen some requests for alternatives, so I want to share my experience. We tossed a stuffed cat instead of flowers. Everyone was allowed to participate, not just single people, which guests seemed...

There's a lot of common advice give on this forum and from other wedding advice sites. My experience flew in the face of a lot of advice, so I want to share my experience. 1."Only about 10-15 people...

I sent a few invitations to some of my favorite musicians, including Wynton Marsalis and Queen. Most people, including my fiance, thought it was silly but rolled with it. Yesterday Wynton Marsalis...

How did you and your partner integrate each other into your respective friend groups? Do you consider their friends your friends? My fiance and his friends are big into D&D and other tabletop...

How are you dealing with having different tastes in music than your partner? I like mostly rock and jazz while my partner likes mostly k-pop and rap. We're having live music, so it's very difficult,...

We made the regrettable decision 18 months ago to make our own invitations with our silhouette (die cutting machine). It was so stressful! I absolutely do not recommend it unless you have to make less...

I need some opinions on whether or not to change the hotel the block is at. I reserved the block at the DoubleTree a year ago. They only let me reserce 15 rooms despite my insisting we'll need at...

I have severe asthma and it can be triggered when people wear heavy perfume or cologne. Would it be rude to request of my guests that if they wear scents that they use them sparingly and don't reapply...

If you got the same private message I did, or in general are worried about fitting in your dress, this is your reminder to stop worrying. Your dress is supposed to fit you, not the other way around....

We're tossing a stuffed cat in lieu of a bouquet toss. All guests will be welcome to participate and whoever catches will be the next to adopt a cat. I'm very excited today because the I got the...

Did you get to pick? Did your partner surprise you? My partner and I had some ring design sessions where we designed rings we liked online on jeweler websites. He used that information when he bought...

My dad died last week. I want to memorialize him and my grandmother, who died last year, at my wedding. Any suggestions? I have a rectangular vase that funeral flowers were in that I can use for him...

Has anyone had drama with their wedding party? I want to hear your stories. Here's mine: I wanted all of the women in the wedding party to wear satin dresses. Everyone seemed okay with this when I ran...
