Gifts before the wedding
Meredith in Etiquette and Advice, on August 26, 2011 at 9:10 AM

What is the etiquette behind opening gifts before the wedding? I received a package from Macy's yesterday and I assumed it was a wedding gift. My mom said I should go ahead and open it. I felt like I...

I love mail!
Meredith in Community Conversations, on August 23, 2011 at 6:12 PM

I sent out my invites on Friday and I got 8 RSVP's back today! All yes! Yay! It's fun to read the notes people write. I'm going to be running to the mail box every day now.

NWR: Bad Timing
Meredith in Planning, on August 21, 2011 at 1:26 AM

Yeah so I was driving home the other day and the transmission went out in my car. I can afford to have it fixed, but just wasn't part of my budget lol. Argh! For the moment, we're just going to put in...

Facebook, No Thanks!
Meredith in Etiquette and Advice, on August 19, 2011 at 11:24 AM

In the world of weddings where each bride imagines her perfect day and pulling off all of her plans flawlessly finally becomes real... It is not really reality in the days and months prior! There are...

Custom Invites... *Pics*
Meredith in Community Conversations, on August 14, 2011 at 11:21 PM

I love, love, love how my invites turned out. They are custom, but I was able to save some money by doing the assembly myself. Credits go to: A Milestone Paper Company. Hope the pics turned out ok -...

Calligraphy Help
Meredith in Community Conversations, on August 15, 2011 at 10:51 AM

I am going to be addressing my own invitations. I have fairly decent handwriting, but I've not done a lot of calligraphy. I thought I would try to write in calligraphy (practice a few times), but even...

First Dance Song...
Meredith in Community Conversations, on August 12, 2011 at 11:07 AM

I know this should be so easy, but I am having a hard time deciding on a first dance song. Some of the songs that I like "From this Moment On" "That's All" etc. are a little too cliche for FH. Now I...

I have 6 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls, 2 personal attendants, and 4 usherettes. When I filled in for my friend's wedding as a personal attendant, she didn't give me a gift (and I didn't expect it) but...

Guests that surprised you
Meredith in Community Conversations, on August 3, 2011 at 9:55 AM

I haven't officially sent out my invites, so I have no idea of who is really going to RSVP, but I did send out my STD's in February. Since then, I have heard from people that I never expected to come...

Shedding for the Wedding
Meredith in Fitness and Health, on July 22, 2011 at 1:06 PM

I have recently started to do walking/running/walking/running circuit as a way to lose weight for the wedding... I also am mixing it up every other day with a work out video to build strength in my...

Are you paying for your bridal party?
Meredith in Community Conversations, on July 23, 2011 at 11:15 AM

In my circle of friends we were expected to pay for our own hair/make up for each other's weddings. If it was an out of town wedding, the bride paid for my hair usually. Then I went to my friend...

Father/Daughter Dance...
Meredith in Etiquette and Advice, on July 19, 2011 at 6:46 PM

I had originally picked out the song "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts for the F/D Dance, but my mom didn't care for that song for us. My dad and I are not really that close - so it seems awkward to pick a...

RSVP question
Meredith in Etiquette and Advice, on July 8, 2011 at 4:38 PM

I know that it is partly determined by the caterer - but how many weeks before the wedding should people typically turn in their RSVP by? I need to give a due date to the lady making my invitations. I...

Meredith in Planning, on July 8, 2011 at 8:38 AM

I suddenly feel like nothing is going *smoothly* anymore... One of my bridesmaids was supposed to get a size 8 for her dress - the salon ordered her an 18... My jewelry for the bridesmaids that I...

BC Question...
Meredith in Honeymoon, on June 16, 2011 at 10:10 AM

I apologize for using these discussions for a birth control question - but I just wondered if anyone else has had the same issue. I decided to start going on BC for the first time ever. My fiance and...
