So to put it bluntly my FH does not like his mother. He has many reasons for this that are valid but we still try and treat her with respect. She is LIVING for the moment of the mother/son dance. I...

I am not having inner envelopes for my invitations. I want to very clearly address the invitation to exactly who is invited to avoid people adding guests. There are a couple people that are invited...

We are all on here to help each other out and I think it's a really successful site for that. But since the new format doesn't seem to be going anywhere I have a request for everyone. PLEASE PLEASE...

I am freaking out! About 90% of my guests will be needing hotel rooms. I have a block of rooms reserved at a hotel only 3 miles from the venue to make it as easy as possible since many are from small...

My fiance and I are a bit older than the average bride and groom and have been living in our own home for many years now. So basically we are not in need of much "stuff". I'd really like to have a...

I'm having guests' wedding photos with names & dates displayed around the venue at our reception. It's already been so fun seeing everyone's wedding & making their memories a part of our day for...

Unfortunately we had to tolerate the tantrum of a very unsavory person. Luckily, weddingwire has erased many of the more disgusting comments she made and I'm sure we are all happy since that kind of...

I stumbled on to this really cool wedding RSVP service and I just wanted to pass it on as something worth looking into. Instead of stamping and addressing rsvp cards for people to mail back to you,...

SO I have decided that I definitely will put the start time earlier on the invite to make sure everyone has time to get in their seats. But I feel like 6:15 seems like a weird time to have on the...

I am having my ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception all at one location. I only get the place for a certain amount of time and so I want to make sure that we don't lose any of that time by...

What is the usual amount of time between the wedding date and the date you ask people to respond by? I want to have time to call stragglers, make my seating chart, get the master dinner choice list to...

I carefully research every vendor I consider hiring & do A LOT of comparison shopping. I felt really good when I chose my florist. She has an impeccable reputation all over the internet and with many...

In my previous post I talked about getting horribly dizzy and being nauseous all day from dancing. I found the cure!! First I tried Bonine, a form of Dramamine. It did work but I could feel that I was...

My FH and I have been taking dance lessons to create a dramatic, choreographed first dance. The moves are so exciting and we've actually been doing a great job with it all, I think it will look...

As I get further along in all the wedding planning I have realized how much of it is about other people's egos! It's like people see your wedding as a chance for you to rank their importance in your...

My FMIL wants a corsage for the wedding. My FH and I HATE HATE HATE them. I would much rather the moms have a small bouquet or even a purse corsage. I just feel like the wrist or pin on ones look like...

So I after 2 months of absolutely no reply to emails or phone calls from the florist I have decided to begin the search again. The only other one I really liked is now booked for my day and I haven't...

I just wanna pass on a fantastic trick I learned. Like many brides, my dress is strapless and very low in the back. It made finding a supportive bra hard to find.I tried a low bustier but it still...

I am getting married next May at Glen Foerd Mansion in Philadelphia. I have everything booked and set except for the florist. I have spoken to a few and gotten 2 complete estimates. One was WAY out of...

So my dad isn't really part of the picture and I've decided to dance with my mother at my wedding in place of the usual father of the bride dance. I know this has become fairly common these days. The...
