Found the perfect way to display my favors! (pics included)
OregonEmily in Do It Yourself, on January 29, 2014 at 2:57 PM

I'm super stoked about this and just want to share! I am getting little bird seed hearts for guests. They go perfectly with our outdoor/nature-filled wedding. I wasn't exactly sure how I wanted to...

Minimalists don't like registering for gifts!
OregonEmily in Community Conversations, on January 20, 2014 at 7:05 PM

I didn't truly understand how much of a minimalist I am until I had a mini-breakdown in the middle of Bed Bath and Beyond. The woman who set us up with the scanner kept "checking in" because we hadn't...

When do you do a send off?
OregonEmily in Community Conversations, on January 9, 2014 at 12:56 PM

I got my heart set on a lavender bud send off, but I don't know when to do it. Our ceremony and reception are at the same venue, so we don't have the option of doing it when we leave from one venue to...

Said yes to the dress! Update with pictures~
OregonEmily in Wedding Attire, on January 5, 2014 at 11:18 AM

I only had stock photos before. My sister emailed me the ones she took! The harsh overhead lighting was unforgiving on butt and tummy. But I still love the dress. Included close up of the lace. The...

Said yes to the dress!
OregonEmily in Wedding Attire, on January 4, 2014 at 8:38 PM

On a tight budget (saving for a house) so this dress was about twice what I wanted to spend at $990. I had tried on about a dozen dresses that were $500 or less. But my sister said this...

Clueless about hotel blocks...help please
OregonEmily in Planning, on January 1, 2014 at 12:58 PM

From what I understand, booking hotel blocks gets your guests a discount at that hotel. Does it cost anything to book a hotel block? We have a very small guest list (about 45) and I think that only 2...

Switched venues and date! Picture included
OregonEmily in Community Conversations, on December 30, 2013 at 3:34 PM

What an eventful weekend! I fell in love with Ron's Pond a while ago and wrote it off because it wasn't available on our chosen date. I booked a local park instead. But the idea of that beautiful...

Free business cards...what wedding related info would you use them for?
OregonEmily in Planning, on December 28, 2013 at 11:40 PM

About to send out my VistaPrint order and wanted to take advantage of their 250 free business cards since I'm paying to ship other items. I think they might be a fun addition to the wedding invites....

Share your VistaPrint experiences!
OregonEmily in Do It Yourself, on December 27, 2013 at 4:29 PM

I'm very excited about submitting my order to Vistaprint within the next day or two. I'm considering getting "envelope seals" but I'm not sure what to expect. The seal that matches my invites looks a...

Forget drink koozies, sundae bars, and personalized shot glasses- my FH came up with the best favor ever!!!
OregonEmily in Community Conversations, on December 19, 2013 at 2:44 PM

A mother flippin' baby tiger! We have a petting zoo near by that specializes in baby tigers and lions. My FH (jokingly) suggested we "rent a baby tiger" to have just hanging around during the wedding....

I've got the guest list blues...
OregonEmily in Etiquette and Advice, on December 11, 2013 at 1:44 PM

We are having a small wedding (40-45 people) so only the very most important people in our lives are invited. I found out yesterday that one of those people, my best friend of 15 years, might not...

A question to those of you who have already gotten married...
OregonEmily in Etiquette and Advice, on December 11, 2013 at 12:07 PM

This is a questioned aimed at married couples that had a registry; What approximate percentage of guests got you gifts that were not on the registry? What percentage gifted from the registry? What...

OregonEmily in Do It Yourself, on November 30, 2013 at 5:40 PM

I'm super excited to have these printed. Really simple, but I like simplicity! I thought the crop was fun and visually interesting. (Ignore the kitty scratches on my sweetie's arm; he plays rough!)

Needing tips for wedding dress shopping
OregonEmily in Wedding Attire, on December 3, 2013 at 3:53 PM

I'm not looking forward to looking for a dress for several reasons; I don't like shopping, I'm not a dress kinda girl (more of a jeans and t-shirt girl), I'm afraid they won't have what I'm looking...

STD's aren't the only thing we are spreading...
OregonEmily in Community Conversations, on December 3, 2013 at 11:57 AM

I know I'm not the only one that did I double take when I first saw the acronym STD. - "Wait. What are these ladies talking about?!" But when people shorten David's Bridal to DB, that also merits a...

A fun (and nearly free!) idea for Winter Weddings
OregonEmily in Community Conversations, on November 26, 2013 at 1:30 PM

Fill balloons with water and food coloring then freeze. Once frozen solid, cut away the balloon to reveal a beautiful, marble-like frozen ball. I would totally do this if I was having a Winter...

This is probably a silly question.... (Toasts)
OregonEmily in Planning, on November 25, 2013 at 3:45 PM

I know that the default toasts would be given by the Best Man and Maid of Honor. We aren't having a bridal party, so that's a no-go. My FH doesn't have parents, and I'm not close to mine. But I think...

It officially just blew up in my face - Advice Needed!
OregonEmily in Planning, on November 22, 2013 at 2:59 PM

Alright folks. Stuff just got messy. A little background- My mother is a drug addict that I can't stand because she was emotionally abusive throughout my adolescence and she's a big fan of guilt...

Engagement photos! (Pic heavy)
OregonEmily in Community Conversations, on November 19, 2013 at 9:19 PM

I recently got them from the photographer. Initially I had to convince my FH that we should get engagement photos. But now that we have them, both he and I are really happy we did it! Let me know what...
