After contacting our pianist FH and I were tasked with choosing our top 3 favorite songs for the ceremony. So FH and I got on Youtube today and listened to a lot of classical piano solos and then it...

Pedi/Mani Party with BM's
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Planning, on December 21, 2013 at 11:44 PM

As a gift to my BM's I'm planning for a Spa party, however, I've run into some unexpected roadblocks. A few of the places I've contacted advertise as catering to Bridal Parties, but advised that they...

Reception Floor plans: She did that!
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Planning, on December 3, 2013 at 12:34 AM

Just wanted to brag on myself a bit for completing my own reception floor plan layout. Thought it was going to be hard, but after the venue sent me their blank layout it was pretty easy. Now to get...

Speaking of being thankful, I'm thankful to have a graphic designer as a friend/neighbor and a future FIL that runs a printing company which equals $0.00 on invitations. I just sent our final...

I Don't Want a Boring Wedding
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Planning, on January 15, 2013 at 10:29 AM

It's been 2 weeks since my FH proposed and I've been in planning mode ever since. I've gotten as far as the budget, guest list and location and I'm already exhausted. We've flirted with the idea of...

How to get him involved!
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on August 7, 2013 at 4:34 PM

I've been gone for a minute, but for good reason. The last time I posted my FH and I were at odds again over wedding planning. If your FH is like mine he wants the frills of an awesomely planned...

Getting FH to Help: Like Pulling Teeth
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on July 31, 2013 at 11:45 AM

A few months back I announced that FH and I were eloping this fall during our cruise to Jamaica. I was sooo happy to put all this wedding planning stress behind me, but somewhere down the line FH was...

Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Do It Yourself, on July 27, 2013 at 4:59 PM

Actually my mom made this for me. I love it, but now I'm wondering what to do when FH has to "kiss the bride". Anyone else doing a birdcage veil?

Table Assignment Advice Needed!
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Planning, on July 26, 2013 at 12:51 PM

I initially didn't think this would be necessary, but that's because I overlooked one major detail. My FH's mother hates her ex-husband's current wife. In my mind the only people I needed to worry...

Rant: They takin' all my monies!
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Planning, on July 24, 2013 at 6:52 PM

I'm still somewhat in the midst of negotiating our reception contract and I'm getting an awakening of a lifetime. I chose to do private dining at a restaurant instead of renting a reception hall...

Breaking All The Rules
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on July 18, 2013 at 1:41 PM

We spend so much time planning our weddings obsessing over every detail trying to make sure we adhere to every rule of etiquette so we're not looked at as being tacky. Well, while I'm not throwing the...

Guest list: Anyone doing an A & B list?
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Married Life, on July 12, 2013 at 12:02 PM

I was told recently that when deciding on your guest list consider that 10% - 15% of those guests won't show. So if we're looking forward to a 75 person head count we should probably invite anywhere...

Spa Party....
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Community Conversations, on July 10, 2013 at 6:34 PM

Has anyone ever done one and why are they so damn expensive. I wanted to treat my BM's to a mani/pedi day at a day spa, but everything seems so over priced ($125 per person). It almost seems...
