Snacks after dinner?
OregonEmily in Etiquette and Advice, on June 4, 2014 at 6:10 PM

I don't want guests to get hungry after dinner is over and put away. I think it's especially important with people drinking. Are you leaving your buffet open so people can go back for food? I'm...

Need DIY opinions and critiques.
OregonEmily in Do It Yourself, on May 31, 2014 at 12:34 PM

Working on more signage. I've spent HOURS on this menu. Going for a controlled chaos sort of thing. I want it to be relatively easy to read but fun. I need a fresh set of eyes. Any changes you would...

Chalkboard sign- Option #1 or #2? Updated to add #3!
OregonEmily in Do It Yourself, on May 24, 2014 at 2:16 AM

Lauren, another WW user, inspired me to design a chalkboard sign for the cupcake display. I'm not sure if I like it more with or without the banner. I feel like the banner adds visual interest, but...

NWR. A favor to ask of Nintendo users.
OregonEmily in Community Conversations, on May 19, 2014 at 10:04 AM

Hey everyone! I've got some Club Nintendo points that are going to expire soon that I need to use up. Trouble is, I'm a handful of points away from what I want to order. Does anyone have a Wii, Wii U,...

Photography Timeline. Opinions please.
OregonEmily in Etiquette and Advice, on May 14, 2014 at 2:38 PM

Our photographer is kinda spendy, so we are going with her smallest package. We've got her for 5 hours. What do you think of this timeline? Keep in mind we are having a very small wedding with only 45...

OregonEmily in Do It Yourself, on May 7, 2014 at 11:22 AM

I recently realized we don't have much color at our tables. With the biodegradable utensils and plates, succulents and woodland creatures, we only have very neutral browns and greens. This was my...

Question to those of you doing a seating chart.
OregonEmily in Planning, on May 9, 2014 at 12:23 PM

Are you creating "comfort tables" or "mingle tables"? Comfort table- All guests know each other. Mingle table- Guests would know about half of the people at their table Of course, in both options you...

OregonEmily in Community Conversations, on May 8, 2014 at 1:30 PM

Would you rather... * Have your bridesmaids wear poofy sleeves a'la the 80's or have a giant bow (3 feet across) on their butts? * Have no assigned seating, or a cash bar? * Have your drunk aunt dance...

OregonEmily in Do It Yourself, on May 6, 2014 at 3:55 PM

So I will be DIYing corn hole boards (and by DIYing I mean cheering on my Dad while he does all the work). I'm not sure how to go about making the bags. Everything I've read says you need to use Duck...

Where to order prints?
OregonEmily in Do It Yourself, on May 5, 2014 at 7:13 PM

I wanted to get some photos printed to use in our wedding. But I got it in my head that I wanted a white border around them, or rounded edges. I made a bee-line for Shutterfly and was surprised when...

How did you find/pick your Hair and Makeup Artist?
OregonEmily in Wedding Attire, on May 1, 2014 at 1:42 PM

Through WW vendor recommendations? Google search? Craigslist? There was only 1 recommended WW in my area. And I only found 3 through Google. I'm a bit uneasy about craigslist, because I would prefer...

This uphill battle doesn't burn any calories.
OregonEmily in Wedding Attire, on April 30, 2014 at 12:29 PM

America, the land of plenty. Plenty of escalators to haul your lazy ass to the next floor. Plenty of motorized carts to prevent us from exerting ourselves while we shop at Walmart. Plenty of bag boys...

OregonEmily in Community Conversations, on April 30, 2014 at 11:24 AM

So I was playing the Pokemon trading card game, but instead of Oddish and Bulbasaur, the cards were adorned with wedding stuff. "A wild mason jar appeared! Emily used burlap! It's super effective!" I...
