pushy MIL (vent)
Marina in Planning, on June 25, 2014 at 10:44 AM

And here I thought that my FMIL was low-maintenance. So naive! Anyway, my FMIL wanted to host a brunch for out-of-town guests (about 50 people) the day after the wedding. Her idea entirely. The...

wedding day checklist
Marina in Planning, on June 24, 2014 at 2:18 PM

Does anyone have a good, comprehensive checklist for the actual wedding day? Not just items to bring, but things to do.

venue troubles
Marina in Planning, on June 16, 2014 at 2:43 PM

Need opinions on this - our venue has a big ballroom (holds 300 people), a big foyer (holds 150 people max), and a side room (holds another 150 people). Cocktail hour would be held in the foyer....

writing thank you notes via email
Marina in Etiquette and Advice, on June 19, 2014 at 8:30 AM

I wanted to write most of my thank you notes via email, but I thought I would ask how it reflects on etiquette. Miss Manners responses are most welcome, but please keep it respectful :-) UPDATE: as...

...oh, for the love of god...

Am I the only one sick and tired of people who are seeking unconditional approval by opening threads and asking other people to empathize with their problem, only to close the thread when people...

possible etiquette faux pas
Marina in Etiquette and Advice, on June 17, 2014 at 6:36 PM

I think I may have inadvertently committed an etiquette boo-boo. Hopefully not, but since I haven't really seen much on this type of situation on WW, I was hoping to get some input :-) A good friend...

wedding program - DONE! yay!!!
Marina in Community Conversations, on June 17, 2014 at 1:23 PM

Just thought I'd share a pic of my Etsy-made wedding program. Only including the front, since the back has all the names of people in the wedding party, and I'm too lazy to blot them out :-)

gap vs. cocktail hour
Marina in Etiquette and Advice, on June 12, 2014 at 10:57 AM

I just got lectured by a self-proclaimed etiquette-savvy acquaintance for having a one-hour "gap" at my wedding. The ceremony and reception are in the same room, so an hour is needed to move...

tablecloth regret
Marina in Style and Décor, on June 4, 2014 at 6:55 PM

So I ordered these tablecloths from our linen vendor...they look very pretty and unique, but now I am having second thoughts. Maybe they're a little too "kitsch"? What do you all think?

This is my most frivolous and unnecessary wedding expense so far :-)

MOH vent
Marina in Planning, on May 27, 2014 at 2:27 PM

My matron of honor is a wonderful friend, but she doesn't really have any experience in wedding stuff in general. Also, she has a baby, so she's very busy and anything that I ask her to do takes her...

Bridesmaid and groomsman gifts
Marina in Etiquette and Advice, on May 23, 2014 at 6:44 PM

Hi all! I have a bit of a dilemma here... We have a bridal party of 8 people (5 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen). We thought that in lieu of bridal party gifts, we would pick up the tab for some of their...

RSVP fun
Marina in Planning, on May 23, 2014 at 2:05 PM

Here are some doozies from our guest list, with over half of RSVPs still oustanding: The kicker: we invited a couple from out of town...not close to us by any means, but my dad asked us to invite...

Catprint
Marina in Planning, on May 13, 2014 at 12:25 PM

Has anyone used Catprint for their invitations, programs, thank you cards, etc.? Their pricing is excellent, but I wanted to see if anyone had experience with them before ordering.

Marina in Style and Décor, on May 9, 2014 at 4:12 PM

Can you ladies please check out what you think of these placecards? This is off Vistaprint, I am just using their folded business cards and one of the wedding-related templates. $30 including...

wedding favors
Marina in Etiquette and Advice, on April 21, 2014 at 6:37 PM

A few people (including a very experienced wedding coordinator) are telling me not to do wedding favors, because (1) they are cheesy, and (2) most people don't even take them with, even if they are...

Wedding planner
Marina in Planning, on April 10, 2014 at 9:46 AM

I am debating whether or not I should have a day-of wedding planner. When I first started wedding planning two months ago (my wedding is on August 23rd), I felt really overwhelmed. Now, two months...
