This week flew by, so I'm spending my Friday night cozy and watching hockey. Tomorrow we are going on a small roadtrip to Party City to pick up a few more wedding necessities. As well as some other...

So I'm planning on designing and printing my own Save the Dates. I'm planning on doing this on the basic photo paper style paper. It works on what I'm planning to do. But my invitations I want double...

I had dinner with 2 of my bridesmaids tonight. It was great to see them! We had a lot of catching up to do. I showed them the dresses and the swatches and they either loved them, or their acting...

Is it rude to not send save the dates to everyone? I'm ok with inviting my grandma's close friend to the wedding... but if grandma isnt around anymore in 10 months (and this could be the situation), I...

We are so close to finally owning our own home. After YEARS of going to our friends house parties, we can finally host our own. It's long overdue for both of us. In my fiance's circle, engagement...

I know absolutely everyone will RSVP immediately as soon as possible and I won't have any outstanding RSVPs to chase down after my deadline hits. 😆😆😆 But on the off chance, how much time should I...

I apologize as I will probably ask a million questions about seating charts in the coming months. I've only been to ONE wedding that had one. And generally, they are considered snooty where I'm from....

What's on your must play list for your receptions? What specific songs do you not want to hear at all? I need some inspiration.

So we're planning on a pretty low key rehersal dinner. Just ordering pizza and having some drinks... But since I'm not catholic, and he's a dropout catholic, we kinda forgot one thing. Our rehersal is...

Obviously, I'm in love with my fiance. I like his family, and have even recently said "I should probably hang out with your family more." Non issue. But his extended fam, well he avoids spending too...

I've got my bridesmaids asked, and I allowed one til June to decide. (She is currently working in a different country.) I have one guest book attendant, but I think a second one would be a good idea...

Sunday I found a DJ I'd like. Being able to access their song library online is a huge thing to us, so I reached out to them as soon as I left the bridal show this weekend. I got an immediate reply...

So the fiance and I are set on a taco bar. Like 100,000,000% WE ARE HAVING A TACO BAR. We like tacos, they are delicious, and check the gluten free dietary box for the future husband. Apparently there...

To hire or not to hire? I'm 2 months in and pretty much done with planning. So I think a wedding planner would be silly. But I've read so many things about how helpful day of coordinators are. Any one...

Is it strange to ask on my RSVPs the names of those who plan to attend? If I invite my cousin, her husband, and their 7 children, and they reply 4 are attending, I wont know who is attending out of...

I'm a plus size lady. This may be helpful in understanding my viewpoint for this story. I tried on dresses a couple weeks ago, and it was not the most enjoyable thing I've ever done. I found a dress I...

We've been engaged for almost 2 months, getting married in 11 months. Now that I finally bought the dress, and have most of our vendors booked, I'm looking at our next big task. Save the Dates! I'm so...

My party bus is to pick us up from our ceremony venue, drive us to take pictures in the same city, have some fun, and take us to our reception venue. (Same place, but we reset it.) How long should I...
