Just wondering who else is planning a wedding in North Carolina. FH and I will be married in Chapel Hill.

FH is making our card box out of wood. (Hurray for FH!) But, we need a bit of help figuring out how big to make it. What size is your card box? Was it big enough? How many cards do you think we might...

Just wondering if y'all called literally every person who didn't RSVP, or if you assumed a "no" for some people (e.g., if they are OOT and you're not super close)? I'm thinking I'll call everyone, but...

FH and I are going to our food tasting tomorrow! Our venue is our caterer, and we're planning to serve upscale BBQ and Southern soul food. We'll be tasting BBQ, brisket, shrimp and grits, chicken and...

Calling all those who are registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Am I missing something, or is there no way to tell who bought the gift online? Do I have to rely entirely on paper cards/notes inside the...

For those with one or more vegan guests, what are you serving them? What are you serving everyone else? We are planning to serve BBQ (pork, chicken, brisket) and all the requisite BBQ sides (mac and...

Sort of random question... I'm using WW to track my online RSVPs. Several guests have told me they are attending the wedding or various pre-wedding events. I'm wondering what will happen if I mark...

I can't decide what, if anything, to do for a guest book. I definitely do not want a traditional guest book, since I doubt I would ever look at it again. I like the idea of having guests sign...

UPDATE: Based on consensus, I removed them from my registry! Our Amazon registry contains a lot of normal items, and a few (4) gift card items. Do you guys think registering for gift cards is okay, or...

Anyone else trying to plan an entirely/mostly gluten-free menu for the reception? What are you serving? FH is Celiac. We are trying to do as much as possible GF. Planning to do BBQ and Southern soul...

FH and I aren't sure what to do in our ceremony other than the vows. I think readings can be a bit awkward and choppy, and I am worried about the flow. Just wondering what elements you are including...

I'm graduating from law school May 13, and getting married May 14. Just wondering if anyone else is in this crazy boat with me... graduating and getting married so close together!

My hair is shorter than shoulder length, but thick! I would love to see what brides w/ short hair did with their hair for their wedding day!

Calling all brides who are DIYing their flowers. I'm beginning to second guess my decision a little... FMIL loves flower arranging and offered to DIY our flowers. I agreed, and was really grateful for...

I am almost ready to send out my DIY wedding invitations, but I'm feeling a little anxious about the twine that I tied around them. It's not very thick at all (it's just twine, after all), but I've...

Again and again, people on WW say that you don't need programs. But, without programs, how do you list the names of/recognize your bridesmaids and groomsmen? For those who didn't do programs, did you...
