Hi everyone! I'm working on my wedding program and on the back of the program, I wanted to put a personal thank-you to guests as well as an "in remembrance" section. Most of our grandparents have...
We have our reception venue for a total of 5 hours (5-10pm) with 5-6 being cocktail hour. At our tasting last month, our coordinator said last call would be at 9, saying people who still want to drink...
64 days...holy cow! I want to give favors to my guests. I know they're not popular on here as money-suckers and I get that, but I WANT to give favors. Original idea was to give mini wine bottles but...
Other than a heart-felt Thank You card, I'm looking for ideas of Thank You gifts for my 3 shower hostesses. If money were no object, I'd get them flowers or a fruit basket or something delivered to...
3 of my 5 bridesmaids hosted a wonderful shower for me today. 18 guests, 3 babies....yummy cake, great Italian food, and great presents! It felt amazing to have so many people so happy for us. This...
My first shower is happening Sunday and I'm so looking forward to seeing my Bridesmaids and spending time with the in-laws. But the shower is in Philly and I'm in San Diego where Old Testament storms...
I'm sure many of you have used Men's Wearhouse. We have 5 groomsmen and 3 dads/stepdads between us. My fiancé and 3 of his 5 men have been measured. So has my dad. His dad has asked twice now if he...
Just decided on my wedding and grooms cake. Haven't decided if I'll have flowers in the middle of cake or just on top. For my southeastern folks, yup- this is Publix. Home of the greatest damn cakes...
Invites go out in exactly one week (STDs already went in Sept) and today we were talking to a friend asking that IF she was planning to attend, could she do a ceremony reading for us. She responded...
I agonized over Dress 1 and Dress 2 back in December. I got over it and stuck with my original choice and did not purchase Dress 2. And I'm glad! Here it is (back view and altered to fit me) with my...
I used a private stationer for my save-the-dates and invitations. Staring down at my balances, I'm afraid that- while she does beautiful work and I can change things easily with her (I paid for the...
Any groovy ideas for groomsmen gifts? I think FH wants to personalize this by buying each guy something he's personally interested in/needs/is a fan of, etc. which I think is cool. But any other ideas...
So....I have 5 little boys in my wedding party. I've asked the parents to use the bottom picture as a guide just without the suit jacket and changing the color from red to yellow. So I asked the moms...
Soooooo I purchased a 130" veil from Etsy and if my math is correct, it's 10 feet total. I am 5 of those feet so the veil extends 5 feet behind me. My train I believe is 108". I should have gone with...
Hey all! I weighed a fully-assembled invitation set earlier in January not realizing stamps were going up- so this was before they went up. The clerk told me I needed 68-cent stamps but I wasn't...
What should I be doing 3 months out? The things I have coming up in February: my first (or is it second?) fitting of my dress and waiting for my veil to be delivered to see if it matches and is what...
My invites have already been printed and we're to go out in the mail in 2-3 weeks. I had an insert outlining the wedding block of rooms at the nearby hotel. It's a Wyndham. I was just told today it's...
My church has 3 Saturday weddings booked from right now until June. One the week before mine (4/22), then mine (4/29), then one beginning of June. A staff member of my church decides to get married...
Double digits for me and lots of April brides! I want to purchase a cathedral veil with blusher but wonder- any of you already-married folks have any comment on the cathedral length? Was it a pain...
I am not fashion forward so let me start there. My MOH is throwing a shower for me in Philadelphia next month. I am living in California so I need to wear something reasonably warm. I have 2...
