Keri in Parties and Events, on October 5, 2019 at 10:12 AM

Wow the last two weekends have been so busy! My friends threw me such a fun 80s themed bachelorette party. They rented a pink leopard bus and we ended the night at a Mega 80s concert. The following...

Seeking The Office Fans!
Keri in Planning, on September 9, 2019 at 9:56 PM

So my FH and I are huge Office fans.... like to the level where he wants to name our future son (if we have one) Michael Scott. I know many couples exchange nice gifts the day of the wedding, but that...

"Find Your Party Animal" escort card
Keri in Style and Décor, on September 2, 2019 at 12:54 AM

I've been trying to add more personal/funny touches to reflect our personalities. I saw this idea for escort cards, and think it is cute/funny. I'm assuming I could spray paint ones from the dollar...

What would you do?
Keri in Married Life, on August 24, 2019 at 10:57 PM

I love love love my engagement ring. It is my great grandmother's "fashion" ring from the 60s. It was left for me, and my FH knew I wanted it to be my engagement ring. It is a classic and gorgeous 3+...

Nontraditional invitations are out!
Keri in Planning, on August 29, 2019 at 9:11 AM

Nontraditional wedding invites are out! I even threw in some matching confetti. Yes, some might think it is tacky, but I think it is fun! Anyone else have quirky/nontraditional invitations!?

Keri in Wedding Reception, on July 29, 2019 at 11:45 PM

Our venue required a specific company for bar service. We are having beer, wine, and liquor. Party time! Anyways, in the contract there is no mention of number of bartenders (already signed and...

Hey everyone! Super excited to go to Italy in December for our honeymoon. While the wedding is in November, I can't take off that much time off work. I'm a teacher so we are going during Christmas...

Menu Variety - Thoughts?
Keri in Wedding Reception, on July 27, 2019 at 6:39 PM

So we met with our caterer and loved the food. We are having a semi-formal wedding and want an untraditional menu (because of preference, not cost). We decided on tacos and sliders! I know some might...

Unique etiquette question. Nursing moms with older children.
Keri in Etiquette and Advice, on July 19, 2019 at 10:40 AM

Another question for you. So I know the etiquette is that nursing moms are the exception to the "no kids" rule. We are having an adults only reception. Here is my situation. I come from a HUGE family....

Either this "guestbook" or none?
Keri in Style and Décor, on July 17, 2019 at 10:22 PM

Spent more time thinking about a guestbook than I would like to admit. Nothing too cutesy, rustic, themed, initialed, pictures of ourselves. FH and I are big craft beer/cocktail fans, and I came...

Keri in Planning, on July 14, 2019 at 12:52 AM

Hi all. Recently friends/family have been asking me the level of formality of my wedding. I definitely know it is NOT formal, but I'm having a hard time describing the formality when they ask. What is...

Casual looking invite, but more formal venue
Keri in Etiquette and Advice, on June 24, 2019 at 10:41 AM

Hi everyone! I've been reading that formality of the wedding invitation should match the venue. I wanted a more nontraditional/modern/fun invite, so I chose below. Is it too casual for the wedding...
