Wedding program etiquette for divorced parents
Rachey in Etiquette and Advice, on May 16, 2014 at 12:55 PM

Is it wrong to list my parents on the same line on the program even though they are divorced? FH's parents are still married so they are on the same line. Or should I list Dad on one line and Mom on...

Rachey in Community Conversations, on May 14, 2014 at 4:41 PM

So here's my Do Not Play list so far. Let me know if I've left anything out that comes to mind. I can't believe how long it's gotten honestly. I'm super picky about music! Don't want anything cheesy....

Placecards - Mr. John Smith or John Smith
Rachey in Etiquette and Advice, on May 6, 2014 at 8:15 PM

I'm having to make an individual place card for each guest since I have to identify the food choice. I'm wondering if I should use Mr. or Mrs. or just use first and last names. It's a beach wedding...

Champagne toast intertwine?
Rachey in Etiquette and Advice, on May 6, 2014 at 12:38 AM
