We are asking almost everyone to travel... possibly up to 70 welcome bags are going to need to be made. I'm already getting a local map for free and hopefully will be able to collect coupons/menus...

Haha... so of course I'm watching one of the Say Yes to the Dress episodes from this weekend and the FSILs are insisting on the bride wearing a white dress so everyone knows she's a virgin when she...

I've never seen this personally and honestly find the concept a little strange... possibly it's a regional thing? I've seen it now on 4 Weddings and My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and I'm hoping someone can...

So... I just found something out that confused me. We have gratuity already worked into the per person price of our contract, but we still need to add on tax. So I asked our contact how tax is...

I'm so excited! I'm attending my first baby shower this weekend for one of my closest friends in the world! She's having her first baby in December and I'm so excited for her! Anyway, I know I'm...

So, the two days before the wedding were awful. As many of you know, I'm in the DC metro area and the wedding was back in my hometown in NJ, followed by a reception at the shore. We drove up Wednesday...

So yeah, in my rush to tell you guys (my rather lengthy) story... https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/married-the-best-the-worst-and-the-pics/2b0c06695d9c1bcd.html I forgot to mention that my...

I'm exhausted, so I'm going to write about the details tomorrow, but everything was perfect. Well, in the end. The two days before the wedding was awful... I mean seriously... I had an OBGYN appt the...

Ok, so this has nothing to do with the wedding, obviously, but I'm just very sad that my ipod died. I received it from my grandparents for my college graduation over 4 years ago, so it's served me...

So I'm working a FT and a PT job while doing all this wedding stuff and I'm honestly exhausted - I don't think I've had a full night sleep in over 2 weeks now and yesterday I only got about 3 hrs of...

Who knows whether anyone will be able to help me, but I figure it can't hurt to ask. I'm looking into renting vs. buying a server for my company. We're looking to put our maps up on our website....

So, I want a lot of photos to be taken and my mom and FMIL are no help - I sent the shot list to them saying it was too long, asking if I could cut out any and 3 pictures were added on. Anyway, how...

I am so excited! Still so much to do, but whatever... it'll happen or it won't... either way, in a week I'll be getting married! I can't believe 2 years has gone by since we got engaged!! I'm just...

With 8 days left I still have so much to do but I feel like things are finally falling into place. I feel very calm and happy despite still having to do quite a few major things... like escort cards...

Not sure if the link will work if I pass it along, but this gives you 200 - 4x6 prints for free from kodak. (I didn't read it, you might have to pay for shipping or something... so make sure you read...

How long did your receiving line take? We're hoping to keep it to the minimal time possible by just having my FH and I there. We feel that the receiving line is totally different than the reception...

My mom is still friends with my nursery school teacher after all these years. She is my MOM's friend... I'm not close to her at all, but she's one of the 4 people my mom requested be invited, so I...

Seriously? We've had 4 guests now back out within the last two weeks... I'm a little frustrated. One at least let us know before our final head count was due, but there's nothing we can do now about...

My FH and I started putting favors together Friday night but only got through about 1/6th of them. We planned to start earlier last night and finish them. Unfortunately, I got food poisoning after...

So I'm not really upset but my FH is and he doesn't understand why I'm not. I found out today that my brother, who is one of my "bridesmen", will probably miss the 5pm rehearsal (but still be there...
