KWR: Should I buy this silly hat?
purplekitten in Community Conversations, on April 15, 2015 at 11:03 AM

Our wedding is in Mexico. We'll be there 4 days before and 4 days after. Whenever I'm in the sun for more than like, 80 seconds, I get sunburn on my scalp. Therefore, I need a hat that I can wear in...

KWR: Skinny cut
purplekitten in Planning, on April 13, 2015 at 1:40 PM

I'm having a really hard time finding a jacket online for my FH to wear at the wedding. He wants something unique, but the trend right now seems to be that everything is "skinny cut". Where are all...

Spinoff: How did you set up your joint accounts?
purplekitten in Planning, on April 9, 2015 at 10:20 AM

Did you create brand new ones? Move your money to his existing accounts? Move his money to your existing accounts? I foresee this as a big argument for us, with "But i already have my 16.4 billion...

purplekitten in Planning, on April 8, 2015 at 10:07 AM

I've decided on my invites. What i haven't decided on is whether to include an additional card (like the one you see lying flat, behind the others, in the picture) that has information about the...

SPINOFF: Seating with no bridal party?
purplekitten in Etiquette and Advice, on April 7, 2015 at 1:51 PM

What's the etiquette on this? Are FH and i just supposed to sit at the front of the room facing everyone like a couple of Lannisters? What are we supposed to do?

Anyone handling last names atypically?
purplekitten in Etiquette and Advice, on April 3, 2015 at 2:56 PM

Him taking your name, both hyphenating both names, merging names, coming up with a whole new name? I haven't decided what to do with my last name. Both FH and I feel "meh" about both of our last...

NWR: Buying a home - what's your story?
purplekitten in Community Conversations, on April 2, 2015 at 1:52 PM

So the "traditional" next big step after marriage is buying a home. That's definitely what FH and I are planning. We're planning (okay, HOPING) to buy something not the next time our apartment lease...

The cups I designed came in! (pic)
purplekitten in Style and Décor, on April 1, 2015 at 10:24 AM

SO EXCITED! These are going to go into our welcome bags. They're 16 ounce tumblers, and when you put something cold in them, the straw turns purple. The space between the columns of the cake was...

Accessory colors on groom: a thing that matters?
purplekitten in Wedding Attire, on April 1, 2015 at 5:10 PM

My dress has silver accents. My jewelry will be silver in color. Would it be bad for my fiance to wear a brass accent? Does he have to have silver to match me? The item in question is the hair tie...

Where to find unique mens jackets?
purplekitten in Wedding Attire, on April 1, 2015 at 11:19 AM

We found the perfect jacket for my FH to wear at the wedding online (pictured). We had to order it from China, since that's the only place it seems to be sold. Even though FH isn't THAT big of a guy,...

NWR: Ridiculous family story I remembered and want to get offf my chest
purplekitten in Community Conversations, on March 31, 2015 at 5:06 PM

FH and i are paying for our wedding ourselves. My parents didn't offer. I hadn't given a second thought to it until now. They paid for my sister's wedding 11 years ago, but I mean, they never though...

Anyone else not having a bridal party?
purplekitten in Planning, on March 31, 2015 at 10:36 AM

We made the decision not to have a Maid of Honor or Best Man or bridesmaids or groomsmen because... well, I didn't have anyone I could ask and my fiance had too many people to choose from. We made the...

purplekitten in Etiquette and Advice, on March 27, 2015 at 12:58 PM

In my case, it's for a friend, not a family member.... but comments on any situation are appreciated!

"Preferred vendors" are damaging my calm! [RANT]
purplekitten in Planning, on March 26, 2015 at 10:54 AM

Our venue (a resort in Mexico) has "preferred vendors" for photography and for music/lights. Trying to get information our of the photography guy was like pulling teeth! He was SO unresponsive that I...

How would you dance to this? (first dance question)
purplekitten in Community Conversations, on March 25, 2015 at 10:26 AM

I'm considering "You Can't Hurry Love" for our first dance, since I'm going to be getting married for the first time at 36 (and have always loved the song, especially the Phil Collins version). I...

Destination brides (especially international): how do you plan to communicate with your guests?
purplekitten in Planning, on March 23, 2015 at 10:45 AM

We're doing a destination wedding in Mexico, which means our phones won't work. The resort does have wi-fi, though. Most of our guests are going to be at the resort for five days. I want to be able to...

For those having a destination wedding, what difficulties are you experiencing?
purplekitten in Planning, on March 20, 2015 at 10:13 AM

I just want to commiserate because it's a different kind of planning than a wedding near home and has its own brand of issues. I, for one, am really frustrated with the concept of "preferred vendors"...

I know that i need a song for me (bride) to walk in to, and I know we need a song for us to walk out to as a couple. But what else do i need songs for? I haven't been to enough weddings to really have...
