RSVPs are due tomorrow and I'm missing (drumroll please)... 68 people. SIXTY-EIGHT PEOPLE. I wish I could be really super tacky and go on facebook and be like "hi, if you haven't RSVPed yet, you are...

So FH and I are doing our engagement photos today after rescheduling them from two weeks ago due to weather. Our photographer was nice enough to email me back in January to tell me she wanted to go...

KWR: I hate the snow!
Melissa in Community Conversations, on March 5, 2015 at 7:47 AM

I live in VA and we're about to get another 3-5" of snow and ice today! I'm so over it! I know for some of you up north this is nothing, but it's a lot where I am in VA. I already had to cancel my...

Why do they keep trying to bring their kids?!
Melissa in Etiquette and Advice, on February 19, 2015 at 8:15 PM

I know this is the millionth rant on this, but I don't understand why anyone would ever assume that someone who is not specifically listed on the invitation would be invited to the wedding!...

Honeymoon Registry v. Cash- NOT trying to start a debate
Melissa in Etiquette and Advice, on February 19, 2015 at 9:30 AM

So I know the majority of everyone's feelings on here regarding honeymoon registries, and that if people want to give off registry they'll just give cash. I'm not trying to debate the merits of this,...

What is wrong with people?! UPDATE IN COMMENTS
Melissa in Etiquette and Advice, on February 11, 2015 at 2:22 PM

So one of my bridesmaids just told me she broke up with her boyfriend of over a year last night. The reason? He was married and divorced before, but NEVER told her in over a year of dating! The only...

Melissa in Community Conversations, on February 10, 2015 at 11:08 AM

I just had to share this since it cracked me up. I just went to hand deliver my invitation to my officiant (we work together). I decided it would be cute to have his service dog deliver it to him, so...

Melissa in Etiquette and Advice, on February 8, 2015 at 6:52 PM

I've been a big fan of Style Me Pretty for a long time, even before I got engaged. Has anyone on here ever submitted their wedding to them and gotten it posted? Or is anyone thinking about sending...

RSVP Yes and No Timeline
Melissa in Etiquette and Advice, on February 5, 2015 at 7:43 PM

I was just wondering if there's sort of an ebb and flow as to when you get yes and no responses to your RSVPs. I just sent invites out Monday and am getting lots of responses that people are coming,...

Melissa in Etiquette and Advice, on January 27, 2015 at 11:36 AM

Have any of you had your rehearsal or are going to have it and not had your officiant there? My officiant just mentioned to me that he may not be able to make it to the rehearsal. I'm not bothered at...

Hors d'oeuvres Spelling
Melissa in Etiquette and Advice, on January 28, 2015 at 3:06 PM

So my FFIL is making all of our invitations for us and had them printed and picked them up today. He then realized he misspelled hors d'oeuvres. He spelled it hors d'ouevres. Honestly, I don't think...

Who are you tipping?
Melissa in Etiquette and Advice, on January 22, 2015 at 10:17 AM

So I guess I just assumed that you basically just tipped all of your vendors, but my wedding planner told me the other night that there are only a few you actually tip. She said I should tip my...
