BAS & BAB - with pics!
OG Kristen in Planning, on August 31, 2015 at 9:46 AM

Saturday was my first shower with my side of the family and my bachelorette party! My MOH and my aunt did an amazing job at the shower. We had homemade sangria and wine to drink, and my aunt made mini...

Ugh, hotel blocks
OG Kristen in Planning, on August 31, 2015 at 3:36 PM

Is it normal for hotels to stop giving the group rate for blocks 60 days before the wedding? Apparently it was in the fine print of my contract (my bad for not reading it all), but I put the hotel...

RSVP'S!!
OG Kristen in Planning, on August 25, 2015 at 8:38 PM

Can I just say, that after so much planning there is nothing more gratifying than getting your first few RSVP's in the mail? We're 60 days out and I couldn't be more excited! It's all starting to feel...

Shoe Fail :(
OG Kristen in Style and Décor, on August 24, 2015 at 9:34 AM

So, remember my super fabulous shoes that I bought (pic below)? Well, I decided it would probably be a good idea to make sure I could walk in them in the grass since our ceremony is taking place on a...

NWR: thoughts/prayers/positive vibes needed **UPDATE PAGE 2**
OG Kristen in Planning, on August 18, 2015 at 1:26 PM

I'm not usually one to post these kinds of threads, I just feel like everything is hitting the fan at once. My grandma was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in April and has been going through...

Custom Postage?
OG Kristen in Planning, on August 17, 2015 at 4:26 PM

Did you do it? I didn't want to and I really don't want to overpay for stamps, but the standard 93 cent stamps are so awful that I may have to just deal...

PSA: Avatar change!
OG Kristen in Planning, on August 11, 2015 at 3:52 PM

I changed my avatar because I was bored with black and white. That is all.

WHYYYY - another invite mess (ugh, rant)
OG Kristen in Planning, on August 10, 2015 at 3:05 PM

I literally fail at invitations. I finally sat down Friday night to stuff my invites. I thought it would be just adorable to have bows around them. Tying them is not so adorable. Anyways, I go to...

How long were you together before you got engaged?
OG Kristen in Planning, on July 30, 2015 at 2:52 PM

Just for fun! FH and I were together for 8 and a half years before he proposed. We always discussed marriage, but had been together since we were teenagers and decided to buy a house first. At the end...

Heels with outdoor lawn ceremony
OG Kristen in Wedding Attire, on August 9, 2015 at 11:47 AM

I'm sure this has come up before, but our ceremony is outside on the lawn and I'm wearing pumps. We'll have an aisle runner, but I'm concerned about my heels sinking. I know that Amazon has plastic...

To do an insert in my invites or not?
OG Kristen in Planning, on August 3, 2015 at 2:52 PM

So, some of you may remember that I totally messed up my RSVP cards when I got my invites printed. I noticed way after the fact that I didn't have anywhere to check decline. It just has a line for the...

Hair Trial! (With pics)
OG Kristen in Wedding Attire, on August 1, 2015 at 5:20 PM

I had my hair trial today and it came out perfect! I was thinking about extensions, but decided that it looks good without them so I am going to keep it as is. I'm on mobile so bare with me with the...

Calling all dog moms!
OG Kristen in Wedding Attire, on July 28, 2015 at 6:18 PM

I have kind of a weird question. Moxie has this new thing recently where he won't go potty in the yard. It's very rare, maybe once a day. He'll always go on walks. This is super recent though. We've...

If you're serving beef for dinner....
OG Kristen in Planning, on July 28, 2015 at 12:04 PM

How are you having it cooked? We're doing a plated dinner and prime rib is one of our options. They obviously have to cook the whole roast to the same temperature. I told them medium rare, because I...

And why did I buy this?!
OG Kristen in Planning, on July 22, 2015 at 4:21 PM

I just bought custom purple and orange straws for the wedding. Why? I don't know, they were cute? What stupid purchases have you made? ETA: Cute straw photos added

Which way to stand during the ceremony?
OG Kristen in Planning, on July 22, 2015 at 2:51 PM

Weird question, I know. I always thought that the officiant faced the guests and the couple had their sides to the guests, kind of angled to face the officiant when they spoke. The other day, we were...

Hand Addressing Invites
OG Kristen in Planning, on July 21, 2015 at 1:37 PM

Is this tacky/frowned upon? I have pretty neat handwriting and was going to find a purple marker so that the writing matches our invites. It sounds like more of a pain to handwrite, but honestly for...

NWR: Netflix Suggestions
OG Kristen in Planning, on July 17, 2015 at 4:54 PM

FH is out of town and I've had a bad week that I'd like to drown in wine, takeout, and Netflix. I just finished Friends and need either another show or movie to watch. Help!

My grandpa is dying....
OG Kristen in Planning, on July 6, 2015 at 11:32 AM

This past weekend has been horrible. My grandpa has had Parkinson's for years and has slowly been deteriorating. He's been in a nursing home, but other than his physical ailments there was nothing...

Can we talk red lipstick?
OG Kristen in Style and Décor, on June 26, 2015 at 3:12 PM

I'm dead set on red lips for the wedding, but everyone is trying to talk me out of it. My MUA (who is a friend of mine) told me she'll do it, but it's going to get all over everything. Everyone else...
