Monica SC in Do It Yourself, on February 7, 2015 at 9:45 PM

What about if I serve a red and a white wine sangria and then several great beers? Does that seem acceptable for a limited bar? We would pre-mix large a couple of batches of the sangria and the...

What did you work on today?
Monica SC in Do It Yourself, on February 8, 2015 at 6:14 PM

Ceremony and reception in the same place...where to place the card/gift table?
Monica SC in Etiquette and Advice, on January 26, 2015 at 12:04 AM

Our venue is a rooftop. Guests will access the rooftop via an elevator. Everyone will know the reception is in the same location so I'm guessing they will bring cards and gifts up with them. Where...
