Breakfast, dinner, just cake? What sides and desserts did you decide on?

Is anyone else in the situation where you are not close to your immediate family for whatever reason, but your "family" consists of best friends and instead you are closer to extended relatives you...

This is not something either of us are interested in and also the folks we plan to ask to be honor attendants do not speak in public in front of strangers. I've only seen them done twice (including...

What have been your favorites as a guest in the past? What did you like best at your tastings that you decided on? Also any you didn't like or that your important people don't care for that affect...

Has anyone thought of doing these? They were suggested to me and I was curious about the consensus. Skip the paper and upload a design of your choice onto a magnetic backing similar to a save the...

What have you found that you loved and which shops do you recommend? For anything related to your wedding, either traditional or offbeat

Getting all the back and married advice in one place. What did you learn during the planning, maybe that no one told you or you didn't quite believe for yourself until you saw it in action? Anything...

Is anyone doing this? Because very few if any brides actually keep flowers after the wedding, most are left to die unless given to a guest who can appreciate them and they aren't used as decor outside...

Anyone doing this to save money? Most provide corporate catering services already and the food is generally better quality/tastier at a fraction of the price of a wedding caterer and they provide more...

If your caterer allows this (not all do), what are you planning? Send home with local guests? Donate to a shelter?

My sister and her boyfriend just got engaged after the first of the year and mentioned that they want to have a local (Americanized) Chinese restaurant cater. Would this appeal to you if you were a...

Those planning to extend past the "standard" reception time, it seems like it would make more sense to keep the reception going rather than stop and start elsewhere. Many venues have no curfew at all,...

If you aren't used to being center of attention., how do you keep from freezing up like a deer in the headlights? Whether you're walking down the aisle or during the first dance or any other time you...

Traditionally it used to be the cutting of the cake if there was no formal send off (birdseed, petals, bubbles, etc). Those are still true for older generations (40s and older) who are used to those...

If you are going the plated meal route, how descriptive are you about presenting choices? Just listing "beef, chicken, vegan" and hoping guests know what you're serving? Or are you listing the full...

For invites, signs, etc what are your favorites? Any that you feel are overdone or illegible? If you went through Etsy, Zazzle, etc, did you have issues requesting fonts they don't advertise as...

I generally don't eat chicken in banquet settings since I've had many instances where it was undercooked which is not safe at all. Never had overcooked though. We're weighing out options for plated vs...

I've noticed that alot of venues say loud music is not allowed. Does that mean that a dj cannot play? Or do they adjust accordingly? Obviously you don't want it so loud that it disrupts any...

Whether new to you on the forum or on Pinterest, what have you come across that is nothing like what you have come across from weddings you have attended yourself?

Is anyone else doing this? We are having everything at one venue with the same guests all day and introduced at the of the ceremony. So that part is redundant. But being in the spotlight for that...
