RealLifeBride in Community Conversations, on November 30, 2016 at 3:04 PM

Our venue provides all plates, silverware, etc. But not cups, mugs, or drinking glasses. My future MIL is in love with the idea of mason jars for glasses, I found these ones with handles so they could...

RSVP timeline
RealLifeBride in Planning, on November 22, 2016 at 8:15 AM

How long dies it take most guests to RSVP? I assumed (apparently wrongly) that people would start to RSVP as soon as they received their invitations. Do people generation wait until closer to the RSVP...
