Additional detail work added to a dress
Liz in Wedding Attire, on February 25, 2021 at 11:59 AM

Besides general alterations to your dress for fit, has anyone had additional detail work sewn on to the dress? I'm assuming it can be done, but wasn't sure if this was reasonable? I absolutely love...

Vendor communication
Liz in Planning, on February 22, 2021 at 3:30 PM

How often do you all speak with your vendors? I just realized since we've booked all of them back in August and September we haven't talked to any of them. I don't have any questions to ask, nor any...

Is this the one
Liz in Wedding Attire, on February 21, 2021 at 5:19 PM

Went dress shopping for the first time today... found one that I really like, but I'm unsure if it's "the one." I'm not much of a dress person to begin with and rarely get super excited about...

Dated ceremony/reception items
Liz in Planning, on February 8, 2021 at 1:42 PM

Our current date is 8/14/21 which is just over 6 months out. About 50% of the guest list is from out of town, primarily out of the country from Canada. If COVID isn't much better by then, and the...

Dance Lessons yes or no?
Liz in Wedding Reception, on September 14, 2020 at 8:41 AM

I'm passable at dancing, my FH on the other hand has two left feet and knows nothing about dance. I could always watch a few YouTube videos and improve myself and attempt to teach him along the way....

Liz in Planning, on September 9, 2020 at 10:16 AM

Just got engaged this past Aug with a 2021 Aug wedding date. I've been looking at the timeline checklists from wedding wire, the knot, etc. and was wondering if it's still appropriate to use the...

Centerpiece suggestions
Liz in Style and Décor, on September 20, 2020 at 7:21 PM

Can anyone help me with centerpiece ideas that don't include flowers or flame. The only ones I see that I like have candles in them and we're not allowed to have open flame in the venue. Yes I do know...

Family drama and planning
Liz in Planning, on September 18, 2020 at 5:36 PM

How much have you given in to other people about choices in your wedding to prevent family or friend drama? What did you give in on and what did you not give in on?

Is this vendor sketchy?

Why do vendors need so much detail this early on...

What is your wedding/reception theme
Liz in Style and Décor, on September 15, 2020 at 1:26 PM

What is your wedding and/or reception theme? Can't say we're having a specific theme ourselves. We are taking all of our personal (individual and as a couple) passions that make us who we are and...

Paying for wedding party attire?
Liz in Etiquette and Advice, on September 9, 2020 at 12:58 PM

I know traditionally if you invite someone into your wedding party they pay for the cost associated; i.e. dresses/tux etc. Paying for everyone would put us way over budget to pay for the entire...

So I know this is going to sound strange, but here goes. How do you address STD and Invitations when you're unsure whether the couple you're inviting has kids. Also is there a line item I could put on...

No Grand Exit
Liz in Planning, on September 14, 2020 at 11:46 AM

FH and I haven't found any ideas that we've liked to do a grand exit, so we're skipping it. Considering that the only exits we've been familiar with in weddings are the grand exits. How does not...
