Invitation etiquette - married parents, different last names
sandpiper in Etiquette and Advice, on March 6, 2015 at 9:20 AM

I'm way early for this, but it's been puzzling me and I can't find the answer anywhere. My parents will be hosting. They are married and my mother kept her name. But it seems that writing "Ms. Jane...

Bunch of groomsmen and no bridesmaids?
sandpiper in Etiquette and Advice, on February 22, 2015 at 3:05 PM

Hi all! I'm new to the forum and look forward to hearing your advice. I always pictured just having my sister as my Maid of Honor, with no bridesmaids. My fiancé has already chosen 7 groomsmen (well,...

How long does it take to visit a venue?
sandpiper in Planning, on February 24, 2015 at 1:01 PM

I'm doing a destination wedding, and visiting that city in a few weeks to hopefully book a venue! I've done a lot of research online and have been emailing / calling with folks to get quotes and...

Pro BAM! Mexican hacienda DW. Mostly PICS.
sandpiper in Wedding Attire, on April 16, 2016 at 6:56 PM

All right ladies (and gents, and other gendered folks), I just got my 1031 (!!) pro pics; these are the medium res versions. I don't have the energy to write a super long post so I'll mostly be...

ONE WEEK! The countdown begins.
sandpiper in Planning, on March 13, 2016 at 10:59 AM

Any other 3/19 or 3/20 brides? How are you feeling? What do you still need to take care of?

Disaster averted!
sandpiper in Planning, on March 12, 2016 at 6:13 PM

My DW is in Mexico a week from tomorrow. FH's flight leaves first thing tomorrow morning (I'm following a few days later since I have to work). This morning he casually says, "where's my passport?" We...

BALM! (back and legally married)
sandpiper in Community Conversations, on March 6, 2016 at 6:05 PM

Our DW is in Mexico in two weeks but this afternoon was our Justice of the Peace ceremony in my grandma's living room. Getting legally married in Mexico was too complicated, and this was a nice way...

Wanting to please everybody
sandpiper in Etiquette and Advice, on February 8, 2016 at 3:05 PM

In the six-week countdown to my wedding and I'm really stressing out to an irrational degree about whether everyone will have fun, be comfortable, enjoy the event, etc etc. It's a DW abroad and a lot...

DW tourist activities - who pays for what?
sandpiper in Community Conversations, on January 27, 2016 at 9:29 PM

I'm organizing day trips for my guests for the two days after my destination wedding (in a country most of my guests have not visited). I'm still figuring out the budget so I want to know: if we pay...

Budget for groom's attire
sandpiper in Wedding Attire, on January 24, 2016 at 10:58 AM

How much did you spend on groom's attire, or how much are you planning to spend? FH is still trying to figure out what he wants to wear and the wedding is less than two months away... yikes. Trying to...

Thank-yous before the wedding?
sandpiper in Etiquette and Advice, on January 2, 2016 at 3:25 PM

I've started to receive gifts from our registry (horay!) and am wondering about writing thank-you notes. My thought is to try to do them as they come, so that we have fewer to do after the wedding....

Help me describe dress code!
sandpiper in Etiquette and Advice, on December 9, 2015 at 3:49 PM

I left suggested dress code off my invitation and website, because I thought it was weird to tell people how to dress. Now a lot of folks are asking me for it, so I think I should add something to the...

Registry where you can add from multiple stores?
sandpiper in Planning, on October 7, 2015 at 10:18 PM

I know I've seen a registry where you can pick multiple items from different online vendors but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. Have any of y'all used one of these, and what was...

Holy crap I got my dress!
sandpiper in Wedding Attire, on October 3, 2015 at 7:23 PM

Hey ladies! Sorry again for being absent on and off recently... staring new job, etc. Wanted to share that I'm so excited that my dress came in and actually sort of fits. I'm planning to at minimum...

Dress came in! Alterations ideas?!
sandpiper in Wedding Attire, on August 19, 2015 at 7:49 AM

Hi friends! Sorry I've disappeared for a few months -- had to put wedding planning aside to focus on taking the bar exam. Whew! I ended up buying a dress that's totally different from the one I was...

sandpiper in Wedding Attire, on April 17, 2015 at 4:07 PM

After trying on a zillion dresses I finally had the "aha, definitely this one, I don't need to see any more" moment! I'm obsessed with it! Obviously doesn't fit very well, and sorry for the under...

NWR: Game of Thrones tonight!
sandpiper in Community Conversations, on April 12, 2015 at 10:10 AM

Anybody else psyched? Do you watch with FH/FW or by yourself? Do you occasionally reassure yourself, "no matter what goes wrong at my wedding, at least it'll be better than the Red Wedding!"
