Of course gifts are on my mind right now! I don't really do much for Christmas though, so I want to talk about wedding day gifts instead. Background-I was offered a year long internship in a foreign...

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'm making my MOH, also my sister, a t-shirt quilt. I'm working on it currently and I'm so excited about how it's coming along! What are you gifting your MOH/Best Man?

What do you think? Do wedding need to have alcohol? Why or why not? Full disclosure-I'm having a full open bar at FH's behest.

Has anyone ordered flowers from JJsHouse? I'm not asking about clothes, but the consensus seems to be that shoes and bridesmaid dresses are fine. I imagine silk flowers are easy to do, so I don't...

Is it okay if we don't allow plus ones? Couples will be invited together, but anyone who isn't in a relationship won't get a plus one unless they're in the wedding party. I really don't want 20 people...

My sister/MOH is trying to get pregnant. She said something recently about possibly needing a maternity dress. I was going to have everyone get satin dresses from Avery Austin, but now I don't know...

My wedding is October 14. We picked that month because there's an arboretum at our venue and thought it would make for some nice pictures. We also thought that summer was the most popular time for...

My caterer serves vendors the same meals as guests. Vendors will be eating at the same time as everyone else (except the band) and it'll probably take an hour or so to eat. I have my photographer...

I want to share a piece of advice from my financial advisor. Instead of completely combining finances, keep them separate and create a joint account for you and your partner. That's what we do and it...

I'm requiring mine 6 weeks in advance. This will give the caterer time to locally source food and for me to prepare last minute details, like place cards (which will be hand painted). STDs are going...

I have men in my bridal party and women in the groom's party. Everyone will match in color (black tuxes, burgundy dresses). Everyone gets to choose whether they want to wear a dress or tux. Dress...

I need ideas for what to put into a proposal box for a child that doesn't exist yet. I'm going to give the box to my sister (MOH) for certain reasons. I know it's not necessary, but it'll be fun for...

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 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'm definitely going to have amaro, Grand Marnier, triple sec, campari, and fruit (probably sour cherry, blackberry, and blood orange) liqueurs. I'm also considering creme de menthe, creme de cacao,...

What are the men on here or the guys in your wedding party doing the day of? Mine are all going to a barber to get their hair cut and a hot towel shave with a straight razor. My FH is very excited.

Instead of a bouquet toss, we are tossing a stuffed cat. The catcher is the next person to get a cat. I'm trying to pick between two Queen songs: Delilah and Cool Cat. Delilah is actually about a cat....

I just need to gush because I'm so excited. I had my makeup trial on Sunday and it was amazing! I never wear makeup because I have sensitive skin. I wanted to still look like me. That's exactly what I...

Does anyone know if Weis or Giant make 3 tier wedding cakes? If you've done this, how did it turn out?
