Our invitations are generally being addressed in the form of ‘Mr John Doe and Mrs Jane Doe’ (as applicable) or to ‘The Doe Family’ where we are inviting all members of the household. There is one...

My partner and I are not doing RSVPs returnable by post because frankly post is quite redundant these days and we know we'd be spending hundreds on pre-stamping our RSVP cards only to have a handful...

We will be giving out as many wedding invitations as we can by hand/in person (quite a cultural thing) and the rest will be mailed by post. What I am wondering, for those of you who have already given...

Our wedding was originally due to take place in Dec ’20 but was postponed to Dec ’21 due to COVID. There are a few people on our original guest list who we are no longer close to and wouldn’t want to...

I got delayed in ordering invitations because of a few things but now I’ve gotten around to it, I’m torn as to which to pick!! Our florals match that in the coloured invitations, but I think the gold...

I work in a very small office with two colleagues (one of them being my boss) and I don’t see either of them outside of work, though I am closer to one than the other. I’m struggling as to whether I...

FH and I postponed our wedding (due to covid) by exactly one year, meaning we are now getting married on a Sunday. This is not too problematic though as in our circle, many weddings are held on a...

FH's parents and my own agreed to contribute 1/4 of the wedding costs towards our special day. My parents have thus far sent us half of what they're contributing, with more coming closer to the...

FH and I are automatically including significant others as 'plus ones' for our wedding and will either specifically note the name of the significant other on the invitation if we know them, or if we...

Traditions vary significantly depending on where you’re from, how you were raised, what your ethnic/cultural/religious background is and so forth. What traditions and/or rules of etiquette do you...

FH and I were planning to take a cruise for our honeymoon this December (a week after the wedding) however it doesn’t look like it will be happening. We live in Australia and our international borders...

FSIL asked me if her husband (FH's brother / best man) is required to give a speech and it got me thinking, who should we have give speeches? My dad has said he wants to give a speech but so far he is...

FSIL sent me a picture of a dress and I assumed that she was showing me it because she made it (she is an intermediate sewer and her talent continues to grow each time she makes something). When I...

TL;DR – I have our wedding planned in full but time is getting the better of me and I’m not sure if I change any of the details. For those who are married already, what did you realise after your...

Whether you are a part of the bridal party and have been asked to do something ridiculous, or a wedding guest that has seen some bridezilla like behaviour, or even the bride/groom and have encountered...

A relative of mine (“Tony”) told the family last night that he and his fiance (“Tiana”) are cancelling their destination wedding at the end of the year in lieu of a local wedding in 3 months’...

I’m marrying FH this December and while we both want children, when we’ve previously discussed it, we agreed ‘not for a few years’ because we aren’t ready. The closer we get to marriage though...

We are doing photos both before and after our ceremony and will have about 60-75 minutes for photos before and 60 minutes for photos after. Because we have a little bit more time before the ceremony,...

FH and I are both atheists but I was brought up Jewish in a very secular household so I would say my family is culturally Jewish but not religiously. There is one component of a Jewish wedding that I...

Does anyone have any advice on how to make dress shopping a fun experience for someone who is totally out of their element? My FMIL lives in a rural area and (until recently) worked on a farm so her...
