Well shoot... Do I need to invite my boss?
NJ Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on July 22, 2011 at 3:42 PM

So... I just started my job in April, with less than 6 months 'til the wedding, I didn't feel I had to invite my boss. But this other guy who started a few weeks after I did went ahead and invited all...

Don't get thank yous with your new last name on them!
NJ Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on July 20, 2011 at 9:38 AM

Argh... my FH and I bought our thank yous with the rest of the stationary so it would all match but were stupid... we put our new last name on them... the front says "Jane and John Doe". We bought...

My MOH's dress is in... and 4 sizes too big...
NJ Bride in Wedding Attire, on July 19, 2011 at 7:59 PM

She's tiny... size 0 and they still probably had to take it in from that... she sent me an email today saying that they got her dress in but they accidentally ordered it 4 sizes too big! (I assume...

Uneven bustle?
NJ Bride in Wedding Attire, on July 17, 2011 at 9:02 PM

So I just had my 2nd fitting last weekend where we did the bustle. (I was a little upset 'cause there's a stain on my dress... I haven't been in to see it since December since they did a perfect job...

BB&B registry - why can my guests add items?!?
NJ Bride in Community Conversations, on July 19, 2011 at 5:43 PM

This has happened three times now. I think what happens is when someone checks out with more than just the items on our registry, but they give our registry number, it puts the other items on our...

Fat near armpits?
NJ Bride in Fitness and Health, on July 17, 2011 at 7:36 PM

Does anyone have exercises that they've used which have successfully targeted the fat on their chests right next to their armpits? (It's the fat between the bra straps and the armpits... I'm not...

Dress teasing?!?
NJ Bride in Wedding Attire, on July 17, 2011 at 8:33 PM

Anyone else having fun teasing their groom about their dress? Honestly, I am a little nervous that he might not like the dress which is probably why I've been doing this but it's fun... I've been...

No fun anymore...
NJ Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on July 14, 2011 at 4:23 PM

So my FH's friend decided to get married 2 weeks after us. (My FH and the girl are in each other's wedding parties so she was nice enough to call and ask us. ) Originally, I thought this would be...

Bachelor/Bachelorette Party Cost Disagreement
NJ Bride in Community Conversations, on July 8, 2011 at 10:11 AM

So... my FH and have been arguing about how much these things should cost. We both went to one (him to the groom's, mine to the bride's) about 2 months ago and spent a good $100 (he spent well...

REALLY pale skin - makeup?
NJ Bride in Wedding Attire, on July 2, 2011 at 5:22 PM

So I have REALLY pale skin... I don't typically wear makeup except for tinted lip gloss (for special occasions I'll wear some neutrogena "mineral sheers" powder, blush and lip stick). Anyway, I'm...

Can't imagine a wedding without kids!
NJ Bride in Community Conversations, on June 30, 2011 at 9:33 AM

Honestly, I adore kids. Don't have any of my own, yet, but I can't imagine a wedding without kids. Perhaps part of it is that I remember being a little kid at weddings myself and just having a blast....

Found the perfect bustier to wear!
NJ Bride in Wedding Attire, on June 29, 2011 at 10:59 PM

I was having a really tough time since I'm short (5'2" if I'm lucky)! I needed just a little something to smooth my tummy but all the ones I tried on gave me a pooch belly when I sat down. I finally...

Bridesmaid Tea?
NJ Bride in Community Conversations, on June 29, 2011 at 1:17 PM

Some wedding checklists have a bridesmaid tea... what exactly is that? And how many people actually do it?

NJ Bride in Community Conversations, on June 28, 2011 at 8:08 PM

We got all our gifts the other day from Things Remembered and found fantastic items (and lots of sales!) for everyone in our bridal party except for the ring bearer... I want to have something I can...

Should my brother be allowed a rehearsal dinner date?
NJ Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on June 28, 2011 at 9:58 AM

Some background info… We aren’t inviting most significant others at all. We had a budget that we had to stick to, so we are only inviting dates for non-married people who are either engaged or have...

Cocktail hour food advice please!
NJ Bride in Planning, on June 27, 2011 at 2:31 PM

For our cocktail hour, we have the option between 10 passed hors d'oeuvres or 8 passed hors d'oeuvres and a mashed potato martini station. (Mashed potatoes in martini glasses that you can add toppings...

No purse?
NJ Bride in Planning, on June 25, 2011 at 8:55 AM

So... I normally wear a purse with a strap 'cause I'd forget it everywhere if I didn't attach it to myself. I also only get a new purse every few years when the last one is starting to look awful. I'm...

NJ Bride in Community Conversations, on June 24, 2011 at 11:17 AM

We are really, REALLY good about trying to make decisions together, but sometimes it can make things tough. We've been looking for probably a year now for a bedding set (linens/comforter) that we can...

B List
NJ Bride in Planning, on June 21, 2011 at 5:54 PM

So... I have a short list (15ish) of people that I'd REALLY like to invite but we just can't afford to unless other people say no. Has anyone else invited people from their B list? How'd you handle...

No favors?
NJ Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on June 21, 2011 at 9:41 AM

I was at a wedding this past weekend and on the way home, my FH and I realized they didn't give out any favors. I'd have thought maybe we missed them, except that we left at the very end of the...
