My mom is wondering the etiquette for hosting a post-wedding brunch and we both agreed that you would be the best authority on this. She doesn't want to be rude. Is everyone who attends the wedding...

My cousin and her boyfriend set the dance floor on fire at our wedding but now that I'm writing their thank you card, I find out that they've broken up. My cousin is heart-broken, devastated, and...

It seems like brides get their hair/makeup done with their bridesmaids or lounges in robes in a nice room before the wedding. Or at least that's what gets photographed most! The plan is to have my...

I've noticed that sometimes people get sad when they think of how wedding planning will end. I don't think I'll be that person. I'm excited to imagine all the the non-wedding things I can fill my time...

I got the lovely idea to get my mom a ruby ring and to give it to her at our rehearsal dinner or morning of our wedding. She adores rings and I've ridiculously never gotten her one. Red is her...

Is this a necessary gift-giving exchange? I saw it in some wedding article and was a bit surprised. Would it be acceptable to just let flower girls keep their baskets and ring bearers keep their ring...

I'm not at all part of planning my bachelorette but my MOH asked me whether I'd be comfortable with having some "classy penis" at it. As in, she won't be over-the-top but would have some penis-themed...

We're getting a 3 tier cake for 100 guests. Should we get a different flavour for each tier or stick with one? Someone suggested that it makes things too complicated with guests asking for different...

I'm all set for my bridesmaids but am at a loss for parent gifts. I'm leaning towards a ring for MOB and a brooch for MOG. For the fathers, would it be appropriate to get them a bottle of nice Cognac...

What is the proper etiquette here? I am fine with my bridesmaids having non-professional hair and makeup at my wedding. There are absolutely no expectations from my point of view for their hair/makeup...

Our venue coordinator gave us two instructions that may be bad but want to confirm with you before deciding. 1. He said to put the arrival time on the invitation-- not the time we plan to start the...

Hi there, FH and I have been asking our bridal party over the past month and this is the first time I've seen my future SIL in person since then. My question is, is it appropriate to ask her while her...

Is it necessary to have a website if you have mail-in RSVP cards? Is it safe to say that it's a relatively new phenomenon? Have any of you chosen not to create one? I never questioned it until a...

I'm going dress shopping with MOB, MOG, MOH. My bridesmaids were also interested in coming but I think we're already pushing it. I know a lot of people probably won't consider that a crowd, but I...

I had my first wedding nightmare. It was our wedding day and we hadn't created a schedule. I hadn't booked a MUA and hairstylist and so I was running around a mall an hour before the ceremony, looking...

I am not someone attached to bridesmaids being dressed alike. I know this is not a requirement and that mismatching bridesmaids are an acceptable thing. However, what do you think about just asking...
