Penguinlove in Planning, on November 22, 2016 at 1:02 PM

Has anyone done any fun sort of activities at their reception that they can suggest? We will not be having dancing, so I wanted to have something to get the guests involved. I'm not sure if that would...

Thank you note question
Penguinlove in Etiquette and Advice, on January 4, 2017 at 6:17 PM

I am having a little trouble with thank you note wording, and I wanted some opinions. A majority of our gifts were cash/check. From what I can find, you should try to mention how the cash gift is...

My biggest wedding regret
Penguinlove in Planning, on December 9, 2016 at 1:59 PM

Wedding ring only

Does anyone else only wear (or will wear only) a wedding ring and not have an engagement ring? Just want to see if I'm the only one! Thanks!

Gift problem-seriously stressing
Penguinlove in Etiquette and Advice, on December 5, 2016 at 9:04 AM

(This is in NO way a gift grab, I am genuinely concerned.) So we had our reception yesterday, and everything went great, until we got home and opened our gifts. I'm really afraid we lost two cards....

Penguinlove in Planning, on November 28, 2016 at 11:25 AM

Did anyone else do just a sheet cake for their cake? What did it look like? Any pics?? We are doing just a half sheet cake and a variety of small desserts. I can't decide how to have it decorated, but...

Instax/Polaroid Camera
Penguinlove in Planning, on November 21, 2016 at 11:31 AM

Anyone incorporate an instant camera into their reception? I've seen a lot of ideas on pinterest, but I wanted to see if anyone actually has done this and seen it work in some way. I already own an...

Thoughts about place card/favor?
Penguinlove in Planning, on November 20, 2016 at 6:59 PM

I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on using this kind of jar filled with some candy, and then tying the place card on it. I can't have the normal paper place card because where they need to...

Guest book alternative
Penguinlove in Planning, on November 17, 2016 at 11:06 AM

I am thinking about doing a guest book where each person/couple gets their own page, and then I will bind it together later. Something like the picture here, but I will design it myself and change up...

Penguinlove in Planning, on November 16, 2016 at 6:58 PM

I am having trouble imagining the day of timeline. We are essentially just having a party to celebrate our marriage. Its on a Sunday, at 1 pm. No ceremony. We will not be having any dancing, or any of...
