Today I was asked: "Are you gonna have people RSVP?" Well yes, I don't wanna pay for 250 people and have 10 show... "Ok, well you know we're gonna be there.""Cool, but mail that card back." I thought...

Not quite. But that's the general dynamic of the town if you've seen Gilmore Girls. I get to work today, and someone had already been in. Y'all, I dont have any plans to invite them to the wedding....

Anybody else have strange anxiety about their guest lists? We cut and cut and cut to get where we are. And there is no one on our guest list that myself, my fiance, or our parents haven't talked to in...

My wonderful fiance and I are currently having a small disagreement on party bus invites. I have invited my bridesmaids and their dates/SOs. One BM is going to have a 4 month old. And one BM is the...

When I set up chairs, I want them to stay in the spot i set them up in. (Meaning, i don't want people to move them around.) I went to a friends wedding, and some dude had the nerve to move chairs so...

I dropped my dress off to the alterations lady in... early October? I was super busy and shot her a msg mid-November. She told me she wouldn't be able to look at it til after Thanksgiving....

Let me preface with the fact that I'm not really a huge fan of honeymoon registries. But my fiance started putting one together about a month ago, and he's so excited about it. [Not excited enough to...

Hey, I booked a girl to do my makeup for my wedding. She's the sister of one of my bridesmaids and super great at what she does. So we are booked and good to go, I just told her to let me know how...

I see a lot of people asking their uncle, brother, whoever, etc. to walk them down the aisle. Which totally makes sense. If they aren't the traditional father figure, I suppose they would need to be...

If you got one, or plan to get one, when did you order? My FMIL says a week in advance. But that's cutting it too close for me. What if they're miraculously booked solid during that week of Lent? It...

I would just like everybody to stop moving and changing their addresses. I've had 19 address changes on my guest list in the last 3 months. I'm sending out 100 invitations. Please, I'm begging...
