Do they get a thank you note?!
laura in Etiquette and Advice, on July 6, 2017 at 10:27 AM

Hey! So I have heard a variety of things on this that vary quite a bit. We had some people come to our wedding and not give a gift (not complaining, just stating). They all happened to be local. My...

Help I have back fat!
laura in Wedding Attire, on June 13, 2017 at 2:43 PM

Ok so the title it a bit more dramatic than needed, BUT I am paranoid and don't feel great about this. The dress was taken in about 5" and I haven't gained weight since my first fitting. When I asked...

Do these dresses need necklaces?!?
laura in Wedding Attire, on May 26, 2017 at 9:22 AM

These are my bridesmaids dresses. Debating if they need necklaces or not. My bridesmaids say whatever I think haha. I'd obviously buy them, but we can't decide! They will have sparkly stud earrings...

Seating questions!!
laura in Etiquette and Advice, on May 24, 2017 at 9:47 AM

So we have taken advice on here to have our bridal party sit with SOs at circle tables on the sides of our sweetheart tables. Which leads me to my first question. The groomsmen table will be 5 guys,...

45 minute cocktail hour?!
laura in Etiquette and Advice, on May 16, 2017 at 8:28 AM

45 minutes is that too short?! Should we make it the whole hour? Most pictures will be done beforehand, and we'd like to get in with our guests as soon as possible!

Paying to park
laura in Etiquette and Advice, on May 11, 2017 at 12:09 PM

So we just found out our venue charges for parking if you leave before 10pm! Weird, right? It's in a shared lot of a boat landing, restaurant, and yacht club (our venue), etc. and it shuts down at...

laura in Etiquette and Advice, on May 10, 2017 at 8:50 AM

Which vendors do you include in your catering count? I've heard various things on this. Like, I know the planner is obviously included and my DJ, and I know not to include the hairstylist as she is...

laura in Etiquette and Advice, on May 9, 2017 at 11:54 AM

Did y'all write thank you notes to everyone who came to your bachelorette party?! I am definitely writing them to those who traveled for sure, and anyone who brought a gift. We had a 25 person bar...

Sash or no sash!?
laura in Wedding Attire, on May 1, 2017 at 8:54 AM

I think it's called a sash! Haha. Better without without? Excuse the pictures. I've lost about twenty five pounds since the first pic, and the second pic is at the fitting, and dress is pinned up....

Bridesmaid gift
laura in Etiquette and Advice, on April 19, 2017 at 1:45 PM

How do you express to your bridesmaids you don't want them to buy you a gift without acting like you should be expecting one in the first place? Everything I've thought of just comes across like I'm...

laura in Etiquette and Advice, on April 18, 2017 at 9:17 AM

So we want the traditional (at least in our families) head table that faces the guests. We have two dates of the bridal party that don't know others at the wedding. My question is do we seat them at...
