My little sister is getting married a few months before us and she was FaceTiming her dress shopping across the country. The sales person at one shop made an interesting comment that I haven’t seen or...

What things did you focus on during planning with the mindset of ‘must be perfect/exact!’ and didn’t even notice on the wedding day and your guests didn’t notice?

People say this all the time. How many have actually worn it again to any event?

Did you have a basket of emergency supplies, either at your own wedding or seen these as a guest/attendant? Did you need anything in it and what did you include?

Obligation should not be involved anywhere and the people who bully to make it happen should not have any say. If that means not accepting money or not inviting them period, then you do what you have...

Or was it the perfect length? So many brides say the day goes by like a blur. Plus the industry standard is a 4-5 hr party including cocktail hour and dancing it really doesn’t seem that long. An...

Is anyone only gifting each other with vows and rings ( or whatever you exchange during the ceremony in place of rings)?

Are they eating at the same time as guests? Are they eating in the same area with a designated table on the outside of the group in the reception room? What are they being served? The same menu as...

Looking back at your wedding day, what do you wish you could have changed? Aside from things out of your control, what advice do you have moving forward? Whether it was something no one advised you of...

So many brides say they were unable to eat. How does that work? Is it due to nerves or something else? If you did eat at your wedding, did you have to force yourself to sit down or was it like any...

I would never hide them because they're part of me. I've also attended weddings where the bride and/or groom were tattooed with them on display and even the most conservative guests never said a word....

What are you serving? Will they get a choice on the reply card of a plated meal like adults do? Or will they have their own buffet? Are you giving older kids the option of an adult meal?

Are you planning these or did you have them? Are they common enough in your circles instead of a rehearsal dinner that guests weren’t confused by them? If they are unknown to your circle, how did your...

For the same reason that some brides say they wish they had a smaller wedding if they had a large one, there are also brides who wish they could have gone bigger. What are the regrets you had/have...

What have you received in the past that you loved? What did you feel was a waste of money for the couple? What are you planning to give to your attendants?

Anyone else skipping these? Outside of obvious signage for the bar, a buffet/stations table and gifts/cards/guestbook table, most signs tend to only serve the purpose of taking the place of human...

Your go to is jeans/leggings and a tshirt so dresses are out of your comfort zone?

What were your favorites at your tastings or weddings attended in the past? What are you planning to go with?

What is your game plan assuming that you are not crunched for time? Dismissing rows at the end of the ceremony? A receiving line? A thank you speech and let them come to you? Greeting them at the...

Has anyone done this or attended a wedding without announcements throughout the evening? Did you feel like you were lost and confused without them or were guests able to tell what was happening?
