I really don't want to spend too much money here because I feel like people never use these things, so I'm not sure if I should do A. just a simple guest book B. an advice box with some cards that say...

More of a fun post than anything, but mine is this Saturday and it feels weird to think I'll be married and all this anticipation will end in just a few days. Did any of you have wedding blues or was...

We originally said no to flower girl/ring bearer because we aren't inviting any 2nd cousins to our wedding which are all the young children in our family that would fit the role and also because I...

I'm not sure how many are in the same boat as me, but DH has 30 1st cousins and I'd say 20 of them are all marriage and babies age. It seems like we have a baby shower, wedding shower, or wedding...

Due to personal privacy, I don't have any pics to share, but I do have advice (sorry it’s long)! I was a organized bride (hence my name “monica” on here), but I also tried to focus on what was...

This is more just because I'm curious, but how do you feel about holiday weekend weddings like Labor Day and Memorial Day? It seems like there's a wedding on Memorial Day/Labor Day every year for me...

The wedding I'm attending this weekend is having their reception at a hotel and a breakfast the next day at 10am. What do you wear to this sort of thing? PJs? Jeans and a nice top? Sundress? I'm not...

What would you do? Most of my FH's family lives 2.5 hours away, so I was excited to hear one his cousins is getting married at a hotel only 1 hour away from us. We promptly RSVP'd yes a few weeks ago,...

I've never been to a wedding with late night snacks, but I know that's a thing now. We are doing a 5 hour open bar, a 2 entree buffet, cupcakes for dessert, and o'derves during cocktail hour. Do we...

I was just looking at another brides BAM (sorry I didn't write down her name, but if she sees this post thanks for your advice because it was awesome). and she said to not stop and hug everyone during...

I've heard "bouquet to belly button" and "bush to bush" which one is it? and is it the top of your bouquet (the flowers) at the belly button/bush , or the stems at the belly button/bush ? For...

We hired an amazing professional photographer and she already did our engagements which turned out awesome. Last weekend we were with FMIL and she said she was updating her DSLR camera for the...

For your bridal party and family, did you share your full timeline with all the details, make sort of individualized timelines, or just tell people when to show up and go from there? I have kind of an...

I was planning to play "marry me" by train for all of the processional (bridal party and moms and grandmas being walked) but now my pastor is saying I need 2 songs, one for grandparents and moms and...

Me 2 years ago wishes I would have known that pay=say and that you don't have to accept money and you are welcome to have a 20 person wedding rather than hundreds of people....my FMIL has been very...

FH and I are getting married in our mid-twenties and planning to wait until our late twenties to start having kids so that we can adapt to each other and enjoy life together. Unfortunately, we are...

We have a 5 hour open bar, our cocktail hour starts at 5:30 with oderves, dinner is at 7:00, and the DJ leaves at 11:30 (FH and I are leaving at 11 before the event ends). We don’t drink, but what is...

When should I pick up my dress from the seamstress? Our wedding is a Saturday, I feel like Friday might be a little late to pick it up in case there is a last minute change needed or if the seamstress...

This is just for fun. I'm just curious for those of you who already had your wedding showers or weddings, how many gifts did you register for and how many wound up being bought? and also how many...

So FH and I leave from the wedding for the hotel at the airport to fly out for our honeymoon the next day, then we have a week long honeymoon, fly back Sat night and go back to work Monday. We aren't...
