How many of each type of wine?
Lysandra in Planning, on June 19, 2017 at 7:42 AM

I've been stressing out trying to figure out how much of everything I should get. I'm expecting around 200 guests. I'm thinking for wine I'd like to have Moscato, chardonnay, rose, and cabernet...

Barefoot or Yellowtail?
Lysandra in Planning, on June 26, 2017 at 11:18 AM

I don't have very many wine drinkers on my guest list. And the only wine drinkers are perfectly fine with drinking the cheaper brands. I'm actually pretty positive most of them just prefer beer but...

Dress doesn't fit.
Lysandra in Wedding Attire, on September 26, 2017 at 6:49 AM

Well I'm about 10 days out and I just tried on my dress. Got it all the way up and it was so tight I felt like I couldn't breathe and the zipper wouldn't go all the way up. I've been so stressed out...

What kinds of beer should I get?
Lysandra in Planning, on September 15, 2017 at 5:07 PM

We're buying all of the beer for our wedding ourselves. Pretty much everybody we know is fine with bud light but I'd like to add one or two more options. What other kinds of beer should we add? I...

Share your must play music!
Lysandra in Planning, on September 13, 2017 at 7:45 PM

My dj asked for a must play list for the reception. I want to keep everyone dancing all night! What are your must play songs to dance to?

No entrance to reception?
Lysandra in Planning, on September 12, 2017 at 8:14 AM

We are having cocktail hour pretty much in the same area as dinner and the rest of the reception. We are doing a first look (mainly because our venue is so open it would be super awkward that all of...

Paying for hair as bridesmaids gift?
Lysandra in Wedding Attire, on September 11, 2017 at 12:58 PM

I'm completely lost on what to get my girls as their bridesmaids gift. Hair and makeup is optional but they all chose to pay to get their hair done. Would it be a lame gift if I just paid for it? I...

How to make hot drinks?
Lysandra in Do It Yourself, on September 6, 2017 at 11:55 AM

I would love to offer hot chocolate and warm apple cider at my reception but my caterer doesn't offer that. I hired an extra bartender to take care of all of the non alcoholic drinks but I honestly...

Guest won't give straight answer?
Lysandra in Planning, on September 3, 2017 at 1:51 PM

I have a couple of guests who won't give me a straight answer on whether they're coming or not. The first one is an old friend who I would love to be there. She is saying that she could say yes right...

Guest bringing own liquor...
Lysandra in Planning, on August 24, 2017 at 12:03 PM

I'm providing beer, wine, 2 signature drinks, and sangria. I just had a guest ask me if it's going to be open bar. I told him what all we're having and his response was a long pause then ".. I'll just...

Ceremony music?
Lysandra in Planning, on August 22, 2017 at 11:46 AM

I have absolutely no idea what music to play for our ceremony. FH and I are not at all the mushy type, I'm not really into love songs and I'm not looking to make anybody cry during the ceremony (my...

Babies?
Lysandra in Planning, on August 8, 2017 at 9:49 AM

This is probably a really dumb question but do I count babies in the head count? Like idk if I need to get a whole meal for them and chairs and place settings and everything. Since I wouldn't know...

What to put at place settings if not using china?
Lysandra in Planning, on July 18, 2017 at 7:37 AM

We are having a buffet. My caterer only supplies disposables. I feel like tables look so much nicer with the China and everything at the place settings but since we are using disposables that will be...

Time on invitation?
Lysandra in Planning, on July 8, 2017 at 12:19 PM

I apologize if this gets asked a lot. My ceremony is at 3:30. Am I supposed to put 3:30 on the invitation or do you put a little bit earlier time to make sure everybody is seated by 3:30?

Ideas to make my venue look less rustic?
Lysandra in Style and Décor, on June 20, 2017 at 5:01 AM

I'm having an outdoor wedding at a lodge on a lake. I basically just booked it because the outside is so perfect and the owner is a friend of FH dad and gave us a deal. I'm trying to go for a very...

Too old to be a ring bearer?
Lysandra in Planning, on June 17, 2017 at 8:00 PM

I have a 12 year old brother that I would like to somehow include in my wedding. Our first thought was to make him a junior groomsman but I'm a little crazy about having an even number so I would...
