On June 12th we got married! We decided to cancel DW wedding that we planned for April 18 in Puerto Rico. At the last minute we decided to apply for a virtual marriage license and get married! It was...

Like thousands of couples all over the world, we were forced to cancel our April 18 destination wedding due to COVID-19. We were crushed but fortunate that the hotel in Puerto Rico refunded 100...

Nerissa in Community Conversations, on March 18, 2020 at 6:29 PM

We just cancelled our 4/18 wedding due to COVID-19. In the planning process we paid many of our vendors up front in full so we wouldn’t have to hassle with final payments the day of. Now some of them...

March-may brides: it’s time to throw in the towel
Nerissa in Planning, on March 16, 2020 at 9:34 PM

I know it’s painful - I was bawling like a newborn last night and I’ve been weepy all day - but we have to cancel/postpone our weddings and encourage isolation for this virus to slow down. Please...

Seating the Wedding Party?
Nerissa in Wedding Reception, on March 1, 2020 at 11:15 PM

Head table or sweetheart table? I see pluses for both but I have never been in a wedding so not sure what bridal party prefers. None of their SOs are in the wedding party.

Day of Coordinator
Nerissa in Planning, on February 20, 2020 at 6:08 PM

I've decided it's best to hire a day-of coordinator for my wedding. A dear friend who I trust implicitly offered, but I would really rather let her enjoy herself as a guest. I narrowed down to a...

Between us we have 5 kids - ages 15-28. Any thoughts on something besides sand or candles?

Do bridesmaids need purses?
Nerissa in Wedding Attire, on January 28, 2020 at 9:14 PM

Thinking of gifting mine little clutches but imagine they will only use them for the reception?

We are planning a DW in April. We’re super excited that so many of our close friends and family plan to join us. Most of the RSVPS we have so far we know are firm because we know they booked air and...

When me and my BMs/MOHs went shopping I told them they could pick whatever dress they like as long as they look good together and are the same color. Well they all ended up loving the same dress -...

Regret not putting “adults only” on invitations
Nerissa in Etiquette and Advice, on January 25, 2020 at 7:39 PM

Because it’s “poor etiquette” I only put the “no kids”language on our website. And my RSVP cards noted the number of seats for each party. I still have people assuming their kids are invited. It’s a...

Bridesmaids Gifts
Nerissa in Etiquette and Advice, on January 23, 2020 at 1:39 AM

When do you give your bridesmaids their gifts? I’m gifting mine robes and their jewelry. I’m having a destination wedding so don’t really want to lug all that with me. They’re taking me to Napa a few...

Nerissa in Wedding Attire, on January 15, 2020 at 8:46 PM

I tried on a veil at the store where I bought my dress. It wasn’t even my dream veil or anything and they wanted $400 for it! I checked Etsy but then ran across this stunner on AliExpress for...

Seating chart + Place cards
Nerissa in Etiquette and Advice, on January 18, 2020 at 10:20 PM

Is it overkill to have a seating chart sign plus placecards at each seat at the tables? I have a mix of singles and couples and want to make sure couples stay together.
