Photo booth vs. DIY Photos
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Do It Yourself, on December 11, 2013 at 10:26 PM

Went to a friend's wedding this past Sunday and fell in love with the photo booth there. The booth itself was very sleek and took amazing photos. By the end of the night I just "had to have it" for my...

Debating on a dance floor
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on February 15, 2014 at 1:50 PM

FH and I are about $2000 over budget and are looking for places to cut the "fat". One of the things being considered is doing away with a dance floor. The rented dance floor (15'X15') is going...

So disappointing (money woes)
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on February 3, 2014 at 9:27 PM

Filed taxes today and found out I owe money and the timing couldn't be worse. Tax payment is due 1 week before my wedding date when a bulk of my vendor payments are due. This changes sooo many things...

Starting to add UP!
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Planning, on February 1, 2014 at 8:22 PM

Well, they said it would happen, and it has. What is IT you ask? Costs! With only 2 1/2 months left I've started to really hone in on the details and it's been very revealing. In the early stages we...

Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Do It Yourself, on January 28, 2014 at 10:46 AM

So this is in response to my original thread about how having a wedding binder has saved my life. Some of the responses I got were from those who are newly engaged and not sure how to even start a...

Make a decision already!
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Planning, on January 28, 2014 at 4:31 PM

With only 3 months left I've been on a decision making rampage. All that "researching" and "shopping around" was good the first 12 months, but now it's getting down to the nitty gritty. My goal is to...

Shoe problems...needing help to decide.
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on January 26, 2014 at 10:18 PM

My fitting is in 6 weeks and I'm trying to get a head start on finding shoes. I've narrowed it down to 2 pairs I found on Amazon.com, but I'm torn. One shoe seems a bit more traditional/classic while...

Wedding Binders...Don't leave home without it!
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Planning, on January 26, 2014 at 11:32 AM

Just recently I was tasked with creating a wedding binder for myself despite my best argument of how organized I was without one. After weeks of delay I finally sat down yesterday and created a...

RSVP Return Envelope Question
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Planning, on January 26, 2014 at 10:10 PM

My RSVP cards have been stamped and addressed (my return address), but I'm wondering do you also add the guests address or do they just write it in themselves?

Wedding cake favor boxes....
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on January 22, 2014 at 9:08 PM

Anyone doing this or planning on it? All the boxes I've seen are in the shape of a slice instead of a square. Is this feasible or just for asthetics? I don't need anything fancy, just a way to get rid...

100 Days and Counting!
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Do It Yourself, on January 15, 2014 at 11:35 PM

Just realized that I'm getting down to the double digits (wowzers!). With that being said FH and I have had to re-calculate our budget about 3 different times already to account for extra food,...

Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Do It Yourself, on January 4, 2014 at 3:09 PM

Just finished working on my wishing tree! Started off with a glass vase. Then I cut a tree branch from the front yard. I spray painted it white and added strings of grey crystals. I purchased grey...

Two Bridal Showers and not enough room to invite....
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on January 12, 2014 at 1:32 AM

My co-worker recently asked if it were OK if she threw me a bridal shower. I was shocked and more than appreciative. I explained that it was fine, but didn't want them to do anything too extravagant....

Free expo ticket for an Austin, TX Bride!!
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on January 10, 2014 at 9:06 PM

I purchased one extra wedding expo ticket I don't need. Wanted to offer it to a local bride instead of letting it go to waste. Let me know if you're interested. No scam, just wanted to do something...

What do you call it when.....
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on January 3, 2014 at 1:44 PM

The bride and groom greet all their guests after the recessional? I'm wondering, since we are doing photos immediately after the ceremony if it's appropriate for us to wait until the reception. At the...

The last time I posted about this idea I was given some honest feedback that didn't make me feel too confident I could pull this thing off. Well WW ladies, as much as I love all of your candid...
