Not even a card? I don't get it.
OldFashionedBride in Etiquette and Advice, on November 18, 2014 at 3:08 AM

I'm fine that several of our wedding guests didn't bring gifts. We don't need things, and are very appreciative of the gifts we did get (pretty much our whole registry). But several guests didn't even...

FINALLY BAM with PRO PICS! lots of pics :)
OldFashionedBride in Community Conversations, on December 10, 2014 at 2:16 PM

I've been off WW for a while, between the wedding, the honeymoon, Thanksgiving... But enjoying married life and definitely did not experience any post-wedding letdown, like I thought I might. The day...

Another question on the Thank You notes/no gifts conundrum
OldFashionedBride in Etiquette and Advice, on December 10, 2014 at 2:57 PM

I posted before about how it was odd to me that several couples (middle aged, professional) didn't bring a gift or even a card. I'm not too worried about no gift, but the no card was weird to me....

OldFashionedBride in Community Conversations, on November 11, 2014 at 9:35 AM

It was just the best day! I just don't think we could have asked for or hoped for any better. Weather was perfect. Venue was lovely. Food was amazing. Cakes were delicious! and people had a great...

Not one, but TWO bad wedding dreams in one night!
OldFashionedBride in Planning, on November 7, 2014 at 9:33 AM

2 days to go. yikes! So...after a stressful day yesterday, because FH's dog died. She was old, so we knew she was heading in that direction, but still...got the call from his mom (where the dog...

6 days and so nervous!
OldFashionedBride in Planning, on November 3, 2014 at 11:30 AM

Someone tell me it's going to be ok. That people are going to have a good time. That my DIY stuff is not going to look too hokey (there's not a ton of it, thank goodness). That the feeling of love and...

Pre-ceremony pics/first look/group photos?
OldFashionedBride in Planning, on November 3, 2014 at 11:31 PM

OK...one more thing for me to freak out about in the final week. We have allotted our venue time so that we can do a first look (just us and the photographer) and then get the group shots of family...

Table numbers (pic) and PSA (another pic)!
OldFashionedBride in Style and Décor, on October 31, 2014 at 1:24 PM

PSA: do your DIY crafts enough ahead of time, um, so the burns from the glue gun have time to heal! Can just see it now...'oh look, the bride has on old-fashioned gloves' 'To cover the ghastly burns,...

Hair trial--pic! :)
OldFashionedBride in Wedding Attire, on October 23, 2014 at 10:40 AM

Pretty much love it! Might loosen it up a little or have some hair long and curly with it. But loved the hair stylist!

Another photo question--up to me or photographer?
OldFashionedBride in Planning, on October 27, 2014 at 10:24 AM

FH and I do like our photographer, and our E-pics were ok, but not spectacular. Possibly because we weren't very relaxed. But it didn't seem like we did very many 'creative' shots....I know it was too...

Spin-off: Afraid of how photos will look--could use support
OldFashionedBride in Planning, on October 22, 2014 at 12:39 PM

The other post got me thinking, and worried. The one thing that I am the most concerned about ruining on my wedding day is the photos. I have Bell's Palsy...in college, I got an inner ear infection...

Extra guests---someone tell me to "let it go"
OldFashionedBride in Etiquette and Advice, on October 24, 2014 at 1:07 PM

We have survived the RSVP chase-down and have a final number. Which includes 2 people that were added on...since it was just two and my bridal balls were not in place, they were allowed (with some...

I need that nice phrase for RSVP holdouts
OldFashionedBride in Etiquette and Advice, on October 21, 2014 at 5:25 PM

You know...the one that says something along the line of "if you we don't hear from you by tomorrow, we will be sorry to miss you at the wedding" or something like that. (Translation: thanks a lot for...

Gifts and more gifts--what to get who?
OldFashionedBride in Etiquette and Advice, on October 20, 2014 at 8:28 PM

This is sort of a dilemma. FH and I are not having a bridal party. Though I have been referring to my sisters as my VIPs because they have been super helpful, like bridesmaids, going to appts and...

Bridal shower yesterday!
OldFashionedBride in Community Conversations, on October 20, 2014 at 1:19 PM

So much fun! Could not believe the outpouring of love (and the pile of gifts)! My sisters put it on for me, and we had the perfect mix of friends and family there. Couldn't have asked for a nicer day...

Bridal shower questions
OldFashionedBride in Planning, on October 18, 2014 at 6:30 PM

My shower is tomorrow! Questions: 1) When do I give the hostesses their hostess gifts? at the end? in front of other guests? I can't remember what my niece did when we hosted a shower for her last...

A little vent--FMIL (sigh)
OldFashionedBride in Planning, on October 18, 2014 at 5:31 AM

Dear FMIL: maybe you think you're being funny, but when you refer to the wedding info I distribute as "the rules" and then mention that you are "following orders" it's not cute or funny, esp when you...

Had the BEST meeting at our venue yesterday!
OldFashionedBride in Planning, on October 15, 2014 at 11:58 AM

So relieved. I knew that part of our venue fee was for the owners to also do DOC stuff, but I figured that they might not do *as much* as a full on DOC. I was wrong! She told me to bring all my decor...
