I really don't like the idea of opening gifts at the bridal shower. I always disliked that part of a shower as a guest because it's so boring, long, and awkward. I understand that guests take the time...

The BMs are wearing long dresses (same color, diff styles). I asked the Jr. BM's moms to buy a long dress in the same color any style for the daughters. Apparently one of the moms was not okay with a...

I'm planning to use VP for invites/RSVPs etc. I don't like their envelopes though and I don't like how I am limited with sizes. Is it a bad idea to print 2 RSVPs on one 5x7 card and cut it it in half...

Hi there. My parents are getting an ethnic band. My FH is not the same ethnicity so we are also getting a DJ to accommodate his side too. I hesitate to spend a lot on a DJ if he is only "on" part of...

Hi! We can't throw flowers in the Church, so i was going to have our "flower girl" either hold a sign saying "wait til you see her" or hold bells or something. Since she won't be throwing flowers,...

Hi there...so FH is in charge of finding the DJ but is having a hard time finding one within our $1000 budget (the lowest has been $1295). Our reception is in the suburbs, Sat...

My dress is satin. Should the girls wear satin to match or chiffon for texture difference?

My FH's family is from a small town. The closest Macy's, Bed Bath and Beyond, Crate and Barrel, etc. are in a city 45 min away. I did a quick search on yelp and it looks like all they really have is...

So...is it ok to invite people who are not going to be invited to the wedding? We have a new girl at work who is from overseas and knows no one here. I've been meaning to connect and have drinks with...

Just trying to get a feel for how to go about this and where to draw the line... 1. Is it understood that children participating in the ceremony are welcomed to the Adult reception? If so, are their...

Sunday afternoon Bridal showers are so boring and awkward to me. Would it be odd if I suggested a coed Saturday night or Friday night shower, where we would serve heavy appetizers and cocktails? Would...
