Any of y'all thinking of ordering STDs or invites from Zazzle, they have a 50% off code right now (CONGRATSGRAD). I'm about to order my Save the Date postcards for $0.50 each, oooh yeah.

FSIL just had her baby yesterday! I'm so excited to be an aunt. They live far away so I'm not sure when I'm going to get to meet my nephew. My aunts and uncles mean a lot to me, so I'm really thrilled...

I saw in the "topics that don't go over well" thread that some people think it's dishonest if you don't tell your guests that your wedding ceremony isn't legally binding. I'm having a DW in a country...

I'm hoping to send out STDs toward the end of April, since it's a DW and I want to give folks as much time as possible to plan. FSIL is due to have her baby (first grandchild on FH's side!) any day...

Those of you who are on here a lot may have seen in my previous posts that I've been in Mexico this week, planning my destination wedding. I had done a LOT of research and made a bunch of appointments...

Day 3 of our Mexican wedding planning adventure finally brought us to the place I've been dreaming of since I saw photos online. Our date was taken, but we can do it on a Sunday for a nice discount,...

Greetings from beautiful Mexico, where I just did my first day of venue visits with FH and Mom. I'm thrilled because one of our first choice options turned out to be even more gorgeous, and the...

Inspired by Nay, here's my "change of heart" spinoff. So, I used to think that if you weren't going to attend a wedding, it wasn't a big deal not to send in the RSVP. Obviously if I didn't send it...

So I'm obsessed with a particular photographer who shot my friends' wedding. She quoted me a price that's reasonable, but twice as much as what cheaper (and perfectly fine) photographers in the area...

What random wedding things do you forget other people don't actually know about? I sent my younger sister links to a several wedding photographers I'm looking at. She responds: "I like Photographer X...

I'm trying to finalize my guest list for a destination wedding in Mexico and am feeling stumped. We'd like to keep the final size of the wedding around 75-115 people. So far I've taken a pretty...

Hi all! I have a not-so-close relative who I haven't seen in years whose husband is a high-end wedding photographer. When I announced my engagement, she sent her warm wishes and said to let her know...
