Plus ones for elderly needing rides?
Mrs. Lav in Etiquette and Advice, on March 15, 2015 at 8:36 PM

Sitting and discussing the guest list with FH and the FILs. If there are elderly people who don't drive, do we need to give them plus ones? We're having a smallish wedding compared to other family and...

UPDATE pg 2- FML FML FML (knew the username would come in handy)
Mrs. Lav in Planning, on November 3, 2015 at 10:05 AM

SOOOOO I might not be getting legally married on Saturday. FH and I applied for the marriage license last Wednesday (with our witness). Since it takes 72 hours to process in NJ, and the clerk's office...

Mini-moon suggestions within driving distance of NJ?
Mrs. Lav in Honeymoon, on January 12, 2015 at 11:09 AM

Hi all! My fiance and I are most likely doing a mini-moon (budget reasons, plus I just feel like we'll be too tired for a big trip) after our November wedding. (Don't worry-- we'll probably still do a...

Just for fun: describe your relationship with a clickbait header
Mrs. Lav in Community Conversations, on December 14, 2015 at 8:27 AM

Just making an attempt to break up all of the old posts on the front page. Ours is "their new marriage was going great, but the husband was hiding a big secret." Over the weekend, I found out that DH...

Kohl's registry
Mrs. Lav in Etiquette and Advice, on March 22, 2015 at 9:58 AM

So I've seen posters say not to register at Kohl's...can someone share actual experiences or provide background info? FH loves Kohl's and has a Kohl's card, plus we have a great store less than 5 min...

Just a little Friday Non-Pro BAM...
Mrs. Lav in Planning, on November 20, 2015 at 1:06 PM

So I've been around this week but there were a lot of BAMs on Monday and Tuesday, and I didn't want to step on anyone's toes. November 7 was the best day ever! I've seen some people comment on...

Stupid nail question
Mrs. Lav in Wedding Attire, on November 2, 2015 at 1:01 PM

Okay, this is dumb. But, as a not-so-girly girl, I have a question for those of you who get regular manicures. We have time on Friday afternoon to set up our decor. I think we'll probably be doing...

OMG NEXT WEEKEND
Mrs. Lav in Do It Yourself, on October 27, 2015 at 3:30 PM

I just got an e-mail from the hotel block people asking specifics about our wedding NEXT WEEKEND. I know we're down to 11 days and it's getting close, but that's the first time I've heard it said so...

Mrs. Lav in Community Conversations, on October 22, 2015 at 10:23 PM

He buys bear hats for both of you, since you've had recurring wedding nightmares where you make your first entrance as a couple wearing bear costumes. It got to the point where I suggested we buy...

Late Fall brides: Thank Yous?
Mrs. Lav in Etiquette and Advice, on October 21, 2015 at 12:39 PM

FH actually brought this up the other day and said I should ask WW! I definitely agreed-- this is the perfect sort of thing for you girls (and guys). What's the protocol with thank yous and holiday...

BAS and BAB! Baseball theme
Mrs. Lav in Community Conversations, on October 15, 2015 at 9:30 AM

Had my bridal shower Saturday and it was awesome! My bridesmaids did such a great job. It was baseball themed (FH and I are huge baseball fans-- Phillies for me and Yankees for him), and everyone said...

PSA: RSVP Postcards
Mrs. Lav in Planning, on October 13, 2015 at 10:38 AM

Just wanted to share some experience here. We used RSVP postcards, which were fine for the most part. Some people have expressed concerns on here about postcards potentially getting lost more easily....

S/O: Limited bar offerings?
Mrs. Lav in Do It Yourself, on October 5, 2015 at 4:30 PM

So it's time for us to start purchasing alcohol. We're doing a limited bar (beer and wine only)-- just wanted to get thoughts on suggestions. Based on calculators for 107 guests, I think we'll need...

Mini wedding planning win!
Mrs. Lav in Honeymoon, on September 16, 2015 at 3:58 PM

So FH and I haven't booked any sort of honeymoon yet. We've resigned ourselves to the fact that the big trip will have to be next year (Costa Rica?) but we both took the week after the wedding off...

FOB toast?
Mrs. Lav in Etiquette and Advice, on September 14, 2015 at 1:10 PM

Out of curiousity, does the FOB still give the toast if the B&G are hosting the wedding? We've had some issues with my parents over the last year, plus my dad is sort of awkward, so we're not sure if...

Trial Saturday-- show me your "natural" makeup and half up/half down styles!
Mrs. Lav in Wedding Attire, on September 8, 2015 at 10:57 AM

I need inspiration! My hair isn't super thick but will generally cooperate (curl or straighten). I'm pretty fair, and my day-to-day makeup is pretty minimal (foundation, a little bit of blush,...

Mrs. Lav in Planning, on September 3, 2015 at 3:43 PM

So FMIL is still trying to find her MOG dress. She's ordered a few online (Macy's etc) and has a couple of viable options hanging in her closet. She's still looking, and has some shopping trips...

Cocktail hour music?
Mrs. Lav in Planning, on August 10, 2015 at 10:18 AM

What are you guys doing? Is it absolutely necessary? We don't have money in the budget to hire the DJ to start earlier (extra $250). I could negotiate with the ceremony musician to stay later,...

Do we need ushers?
Mrs. Lav in Planning, on July 30, 2015 at 4:58 PM

I know that they technically serve a functional role, but I have enough faith that our guests can enter a building and sit in a chair. We have people that can serve as ushers, but I feel like it might...
