Is it not the rudest thing when someone goes out of their way to invite you to a special occasion with a pre-stamped envelope that you really just need to mark a check and your name and throw it back?...

I read an etiquette article today just passing the time- not wedding-related, because my wedding already happened (8 months ago today!). I feel like a total rube now because I did ALL 3 of these. My...

My husband's cousin is getting married next month and we plan to attend. It's a cross country trip for us so I did not attend the bridal shower which was 2+weeks ago. However I did send my MIL a gift...

Hi all! It's been a long time since I've posted. (3 months?) I got "wedding"'d out. Anyway- do any other folks or vendors have advice about putting together parent albums? I went through the wedding...

My wedding has come and gone and it was a blurry day. I remember highlights and the general flow of the day but I had not one minute to myself or FH until we got on the bus to leave (solo). I'm here...

My wedding was a blur last Saturday- except for the ceremony. I remember that quite well! The reception is what ran by. I wouldn't say my wedding day was PERFECT but I'd say, the guests wouldn't have...

2 weeks ago I was pulling my hair out, nervous, stressed, broke. I said I couldn't WAIT for this wedding day to come quickly so we could get back to "normal life". But then today, 48 hours before I...

I should change my name to AngryBride just because my fuse has been short for about a month now. I've had a few panic attacks and private freak out sessions but one week out, I'm ready to strangle my...

Wedding details, timeline, my dress which I only sorta love...it's ALL swirling in my head. Cannot sleep Just curious if any recent brides or very near brides are dealing with the same. I don't...

I am beginning to toy with the idea of changing into a "going away" outfit at the end of the night. We will see everyone the next day at breakfast and are leaving for the honeymoon on Monday so it's...

I had my final fitting and I feel "meh" about it. I agonized over this dress. Out of the many dresses I tried on (20? 30?), this was 1 of maybe 3 that I really liked. I feel better IN it because it...

One of FH's cousins is getting married in September and we plan to attend their wedding. They are traveling to attend ours in 3 weeks (GAH!). My idea was to have FH retrieve my garter (or not?) but...

We are doing a welcome party from 8-10pm the night before the wedding at the hotel where our block is. We are doing a small beer/wine bar for those 2 hours as well as serving a large specialty grooms...

The rehearsal dinner BY FAR is the most stressful thing of this whole mess. Who's coming? Who's going? Everyone needing a ride because they're all OOT but will all be flying in last minute. Nothing is...

You've taken care of every DETAIL of the wedding except for one thing- which is "myself". I am at my heaviest weight (230) and one would think....I'd lose the weight for my own wedding. I could give...

I am planning to have a receiving line directly after our ceremony. Reception and cocktail hour are at a separate venue. Any estimate on the amount of time we might expect with 100 guests? I'm not...

In the age of social media, I've kept 98% of wedding talk off FB. If someone wanted to know my wedding date, I've mentioned it (as answers to the question "When's the big day?") but other than that,...

Yet another guest is presuming their child is invited. The first guest casually mentioned it via text I think before invites were even sent and I shut it down pretty quickly saying "while we would...

Anyone else bombarded right now? I can't BELIEVE how fast the time is flying. It wasn't so bad until Christmas/New Years. And now? Whooosh!! I'm 7 weeks away. Can't believe it.

My bridesmaids including MOH all bought the same dress seen below in that plum color. I wanted to buy something the MOH could wear that would set her slightly apart as the honor attendant. I thought...
