Minor Invitation Dilemma
Lara in Etiquette and Advice, on December 1, 2014 at 8:45 AM

So yesterday I ordered our invites because I found such a great deal and I did response cards and accommodations cards. I, of course, proofed everything a million times before I hit submit. Well, I...

Incorporating Children
Lara in Planning, on December 2, 2014 at 10:45 AM

I know there have been many discussions on this, but FH has a daughter who will be 12 when we marry. She is a jr BM. Other than that, we haven't really incorporated her into anything. I might ask our...

Undergarment *rant*
Lara in Wedding Attire, on December 4, 2014 at 10:16 AM

So I purchased my dress on Veterans' Day and it will need to get taken in, and then I bought my strapless bra last night. My mom, dad, and FH are all telling me I did it way too early. I'm not really...

Lara in Community Conversations, on December 1, 2014 at 10:34 AM

Today, I bought ammo for FH for Christmas. Never in my life did I think I would purchase bullets, but yesterday I was with his daughter and asked her what she wanted to get her dad for Christmas, and...

NWR: Would you rather...
Lara in Community Conversations, on December 2, 2014 at 7:08 PM

Go to the dentist or the gyno? I was at the dentist this afternoon and while it wasn't anything other than a routine cleaning, I decided that it really sucked. I think I would rather the gyno, for 2...

NWR: gifts for children

My FH's daughter is 11. Last year we just bought her stuff individually, and she ended up with a smattering of things. This year she put a list together and we're buying things together for her (love,...

Boudoir Pics
Lara in Community Conversations, on November 25, 2014 at 1:46 PM

So I just paid the deposit for my boudoir pics and I'm kind of freaking out. I get 3 outfits and I know what two of them will be (black lingerie, red bra and panties with my wedding shoes) but I'm...

Do we HAVE to register?
Lara in Etiquette and Advice, on November 24, 2014 at 4:26 PM

I'm at a loss of what to do about registering. We live in a condo that is bursting at the seams. There are very few things we need, and at this point, could probably pick less than ten things for a...

Florist Consultation Questions
Lara in Style and Décor, on November 17, 2014 at 9:12 AM

We had our first floral consultation over the weekend and I really had no idea what to expect. We have a small BP (1 MOH, 1 Jr BM, 1 GM) and then 3 for corsages and an additional 3 for boutonnieres....

Bra question
Lara in Wedding Attire, on November 18, 2014 at 8:40 AM

I bought my dress from BHLDN so it's sitting in my closet and I'm going to get it altered soon. I thought I would need to get the right bra before I do so I can make sure everything is as it will be...

STD help! (pic heavy)
Lara in Etiquette and Advice, on November 7, 2014 at 10:57 AM

No medical advice necessary (lol)! I just got my e-pics back and I want to choose two pics for the STD...one in our more casual outfit, and one in our less casual one. I would appreciate any opinions!...

We have been targeting Fri, July 3 for our wedding since our engagement (Friday discounts, our anniv will always be right before a holiday). We found our perfect venue last weekend and when I spoke to...

Lara in Planning, on October 14, 2014 at 12:04 PM

We visited more venues over the weekend, this time actually crashing a country club we saw from the highway. it's absolutely perfect, so the operations manager on site, gave us a tour and sent us away...

Engagement Session Outfits
Lara in Etiquette and Advice, on October 9, 2014 at 2:43 PM

We have our e-pics in two weeks and I'm not sure what to wear. We are doing them in an urban setting but where we can still get the feeling that it's Fall (lots of trees around, leaves changing, etc)....

Wedding Dresses - first try
Lara in Wedding Attire, on October 6, 2014 at 2:50 PM

I went to three bridal boutiques this weekend. The first dress is the dress I wish I could have ($$$&dollar, but I can't decide between the second two, especially now looking at...

Can't decide on a photography package
Lara in Planning, on October 3, 2014 at 4:05 PM

RANT: maybe we should just elope
Lara in Planning, on September 29, 2014 at 11:39 AM

This weekend was all wedding, 24/7. We drove 2 hours on sat morning to check out a venue which I thought would be perfect. Surprise surprise, it wasn't. We sat with the caterer for 1 1/2 hours and she...

Tattoos on your ring finger
Lara in Wedding Attire, on September 23, 2014 at 12:12 PM

I know this is totally random, but I noticed in the bling discussion, many of you have ink on your ring fingers. FH and I have talked about this and I'm really into the idea. If any of you have some,...

DJ vs. no-DJ
Lara in Planning, on September 18, 2014 at 10:27 AM

Is it necessary to have a DJ? Couldn't I just put a playlist together and get a good sound system? I know we'll need someone to make key announcements (first dance, etc) but maybe one of my...

New around here and scared I'm missing the "bride gene"
Lara in Etiquette and Advice, on September 16, 2014 at 3:35 PM

I've been engaged just over 3 weeks and I wanted to say hi. It seems as though my parents/friends are more excited at the prospect of my wedding than I am. But I do have to say, the more I read what...
