FH and I are considering a courthouse wedding. It seems like a better choice financially and for my mental stability haha. I'd like to show FH that courthouse weddings can still be special and I've...

Where do I stick the RSVP?
Lauren in Etiquette and Advice, on June 20, 2017 at 1:31 PM

We printed our invites ourselves. We used those kits you can buy at Michael's. It came with invites, a pocket paper (best way I know how to describe it), and extra cards for RSVP's/details/whatever...

FH's sister might not be coming (long vent!)
Lauren in Etiquette and Advice, on June 16, 2017 at 1:47 PM

Venting because this is such a frustrating thing! FH's sister is 18, turning 19 in August. She just graduated high school (a little later than planned) and got her first job which is really exciting,...

Cutting the cake??
Lauren in Planning, on May 2, 2017 at 4:43 PM

We're getting our cake at Safeway as the quotes we got from local bakeries were way too expensive. My concern is, how are we going to cut the cake for the guests? I checked with our caterer to see if...

Am I being terrible?
Lauren in Etiquette and Advice, on March 7, 2017 at 7:54 PM

My bridal party is ordering their dresses online and I asked them to order by the end of February to ensure they have plenty of time to exchange if needed. The last thing I want is for them or for me...

Lauren in Planning, on January 17, 2017 at 2:59 PM

Our STD's came in the mail today and they look so amazing! I am really excited. We debated whether or not to send them out to save some money, but we have enough OOT guests that I figured it'd be a...

Lauren in Etiquette and Advice, on January 5, 2017 at 6:03 PM

FH and I are on the hunt for a new counselor. We've been seeing one woman for our premarital counseling and we had originally planned on continuing to check in with her about once a month, but I...

Tan line?
Lauren in Wedding Attire, on January 3, 2017 at 9:58 AM

So I was just looking at the picture of me in my dress when I went dress shopping in July. I remembered how I had the worst tan lines from my bathing suit straps. I tan really really easily and FH's...

quick invite question
Lauren in Planning, on November 16, 2016 at 11:03 AM

I'm working on my checklist for everything I need done next year and I wanted clarification: are invites sent out 8 weeks before the wedding date or 8 weeks before the RSVP date?

Labor Day wedding?
Lauren in Etiquette and Advice, on October 25, 2016 at 1:29 PM

Alright, so we have a church set up for 10/7/17 but originally we wanted one particular venue that I really love. FH got a new job and his parents actually offered to pay for the venue so we can book...

Appetizers/Snacks?
Lauren in Etiquette and Advice, on October 22, 2016 at 10:36 PM

So we originally planned on having a cake and punch reception since our ceremony will start around 2 and the reception will end at 6. We're potentially going to book a venue instead of using our...

Lauren in Wedding Attire, on October 19, 2016 at 3:37 PM

Has anyone ordered from latterdaybride.com? How did it go? I've been looking at bridesmaids dresses here and there and I found one that's exactly what I imagined and it's pretty inexpensive too! I...

Restaurant vs Catering
Lauren in Planning, on August 21, 2016 at 10:27 AM

Okay, quick question. FH and I majorly cut our guest list. We had 120 and I told him if we kept our wedding that size we weren't having it because financially it's impossible. We planned to get to 30...

Reception Dress
Lauren in Wedding Attire, on August 17, 2016 at 9:17 AM

So I originally wanted two dresses. One for the ceremony, and one that was more comfortable for the reception. FH asked last night if I still wanted to do that. I love my dress but I know it's not...

Lauren in Planning, on August 12, 2016 at 1:23 PM

Today is probably one of the worst days I've had. We have two cats that we got when I was about 8 years old (13 years ago) and one of them has been sick for about a month now. We took him into the vet...
