Margaret in Planning, on March 7, 2023 at 8:29 AM

Helping daughter design and plan...she is sending invite, rsvp, rehearsal dinner invite, and possibly a details card along with 1 or 2 (depending on guest party) luggage tags for Hawaiian destination...

Escort Cards??
Margaret in Wedding Reception, on April 20, 2021 at 11:03 PM

This is for my daughter's wedding in June.... we were originally supposed to be buffet, but...well.... Covid, so it's now plated. I understand the escort card to tell people their table. Do people...

Children at wedding / reception
Margaret in Etiquette and Advice, on April 16, 2021 at 6:50 PM

My daughter is getting married June 12, 2021. It's already been postponed twice (third times a charm!) due to Covid. I am paying for the event, I'm divorced from her father and he is not helping...

PRO BAM...lots of pics
Margaret in Etiquette and Advice, on September 1, 2016 at 5:46 PM

Well, here it is a little over a month ago that I had “one of the best days of my life”. I wouldn’t call it the BEST day, because after all, I have three gorgeous children…and no wedding can ever...

BAM BAM!!
Margaret in Planning, on July 25, 2016 at 3:02 PM

'Twas wonderful! Day was beautiful, a little hot but not too bad. A couple of hiccups...dj didn't announce flower girl and ring bearer, and so when planner tapped them to enter, they entered to him...

**RANT** So, will the psycho drama ensue?
Margaret in Etiquette and Advice, on July 19, 2016 at 10:50 AM

Some of you might remember FHs EX and her psycho powder curses on us (gotta love hazmat teams in your house). FHs daughter is in town for the wedding (YAY4 DAYS TO GO!!) and she visited her...

Vent...well, more a whine
Margaret in Planning, on July 16, 2016 at 10:52 AM

One week. One normal 7 day week. Lately, days have been flying by; I want to be able to relax and not stress over stupid little details that will most likely remain undone...all the important big...

What's the meaning of keys?
Margaret in Style and Décor, on April 13, 2016 at 4:52 PM

I'm obviously oblivious to this one... what is with skeleton keys as escort cards/items? Just don't get the connection. I searched here, and other places, and no post (that I could find) discusses...

Mashed Potato Martini's??
Margaret in Planning, on July 12, 2016 at 1:39 PM

Egads... so this is what I have to deal with 11 days out... We are having a mashed potato bar. Not unusual at all. My caterer has changed things up somewhat and I'm not so thrilled with her plans. We...

Registry question
Margaret in Etiquette and Advice, on July 8, 2016 at 1:02 PM

I usually blow by the registry posts because I'm not registering. BUT now that brings up an interesting quandary. What do I say to people who ask where I'm registered? I've kinda ignored two friends...

Brunch menu...I'm all out of ideas
Margaret in Planning, on July 6, 2016 at 11:21 AM

16 days to go and my brain refuses to allow any more pinterest or wedding site fluff to enter. Unfortunately, I have to tell the caterer the final two choices for our 'next day' brunch buffet. So...

Corsage for Officiant??
Margaret in Style and Décor, on June 24, 2016 at 6:01 PM

I am finalizing floral order... is it customary (or nice to) give the officiant a corsage? And while I'm on that subject... preference for pin on or wrist? Thanks ladies!

Dumb cup question
Margaret in Wedding Attire, on June 19, 2016 at 10:17 AM

Last night FH and I had a signature cocktail tasting party. Big fun and we have our drinks!...and a hangover..but, the question is this: one of my BMs (who also works for a caterer at weddings) asked...

DoC went MIA
Margaret in Planning, on June 15, 2016 at 9:10 AM

Expanded our contract in April because real life was getting in the way of planning. DoC really hadn't been communicating, but I sent her full payment and binder of all contracts, picture file,...

Procesesional order
Margaret in Etiquette and Advice, on June 14, 2016 at 11:12 AM

I've read that the Officiant enters first, then groom, bm, and then groomsmen. Has anyone used or seen this order: groomsmen, ring bearer, best man, groom, Officiant...? Many thanks ladies and gents! ...

Make Up/Hair Trial Complaints...MUA is now MIA
Margaret in Wedding Attire, on June 8, 2016 at 5:05 PM

I had my make up/hair trial this past Friday. The hair turned out AWESOME! I can't rave enough about it...EXACTLY what I asked for. The makeup on the other hand... not so much. I've had my makeup done...

Kids and wedding questions... why or why not?
Margaret in Planning, on May 23, 2016 at 11:21 AM

I've seen the topic here, and pretty much brushed it off without a thought. THEN... our invites went out and the first text I got.. (after congratulatory talk) "Is your wedding kid friendly?" I know...

Straight Champagne or Champagne Cocktail or Sparkling Wine
Margaret in Planning, on May 19, 2016 at 2:36 PM

I'm not a huge Champagne drinker; but we decided to have a 'Champagne Toast' vs a 'whatever is in your glass' toast because it seems more festive (I dunno...could have been a hasty decision too). We...

Margaret in Style and Décor, on May 18, 2016 at 8:18 PM

My cross came today! FH and I designed this claddagh cross and had it commissioned by a wood carver in Ireland. Love it love it love it! It's about 30" long and sooooo heavy. This was one of our major...
