Private Facebook group for wedding guests?
Sci Fi Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on March 1, 2016 at 12:15 PM

Before anyone jumps all over me and says "Tacky, what's wrong with you...." this is why I'm asking. A polite "not a good idea" will suffice. Anyway...I have a lot of guests coming in from out of town....

Geek Brides: Need your opinion on invitation
Sci Fi Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on February 1, 2016 at 10:32 AM

We are in a hotly contested debate over how to word our invitations, which were supposed to be at the printers 2 weeks ago. We are doing a comic con themed wedding, and our invitations are Lord of the...

Not exactly a vent, just some pre-wedding pet angst
Sci Fi Bride in Planning, on April 26, 2016 at 12:35 PM

We're dog people. I have two, FH has two. They're all old, except for my kelpie who is 11 and acts like she's 2. His two have arthritis, his male is on thyroid meds, and an anti-inflammatory because...

RSVP issue
Sci Fi Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on April 21, 2016 at 5:20 PM

So, this is new...I had my RSVPs designed with a little box where I can write in exactly the number of people invited from each family (*blank* number of seats have been reserved in your honor....)....

RSVP shenanigans...the plot thickens
Sci Fi Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on April 22, 2016 at 12:36 PM

So I sent the family member who crossed out her number of invites on her RSVP and adjusted for another 8 people a message saying she must have misunderstood, the invitation was only for her and her...

Venue meeting tomorrow...questions?
Sci Fi Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on April 22, 2016 at 1:31 AM

I'm meeting with the venue tomorrow to discuss our day of schedule, and I'm not sure what else except I have to bring my vendor list. Does anyone know of some questions I should think to ask them?...

Brides looking for silver ink
Sci Fi Bride in Planning, on April 22, 2016 at 1:42 AM

My colors are purple and silver, and I was like a dog with a bone trying to find a printer who would print in silver ink without having to sell my first born. Every online printer I contacted either...

inviting minors without their parents?
Sci Fi Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on April 13, 2016 at 1:34 AM

We are having a child free wedding, including only the kids who are in the wedding, and we told my daughter she could invite one friend so she felt like she had someone to hang out with all day. She...

Need alternative to "give bride away"
Sci Fi Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on April 13, 2016 at 1:30 AM

I hadn't planned on being given away, and had honestly not even planned for my father to walk me down the aisle. I figured I'm too old for that, it's archaic, and he and I have a weird relationship...

BM question
Sci Fi Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on April 8, 2016 at 1:46 AM

I rarely wander by anymore because the interaction I get tends to be more negative than anything, but I really don't have anyone else to ask this, so I'm hoping some of you more professional folk out...

Sci Fi Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on March 20, 2016 at 6:42 AM

I went to a job interview today only to come home and realize my fly was down and I had two different colored socks on. Wedding planning sucks right now and my memory deficit is in full bloom, but...

Already have an RSVP on STD, do I still send invite?
Sci Fi Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on February 27, 2016 at 3:35 PM

A friend of mine from out of state declined already (her son is getting married the month after me) when she received my STD. Do I still send her an invitation? Part of me feels it's weird not to, and...

Any scrapbookers or papercrafters out there who know how to photo print on vellum?
Sci Fi Bride in Do It Yourself, on February 26, 2016 at 1:28 AM

Still working on the centerpiece project, and the vellum works so much better than either parchment or photo paper. Unfortunately, in the lighter pictures, the ink from the photo printer seems to...

Looking for these votives
Sci Fi Bride in Do It Yourself, on February 25, 2016 at 11:56 AM

I found these at Michaels on clearance. I love the scroll work on them, but need at least 10 more. I checked Tradesy, but nothing. Anyone have some they would like to unload? They are "silver etched...

Average cost of your centerpieces in the Northeast?
Sci Fi Bride in Do It Yourself, on February 24, 2016 at 11:18 AM

And before you say "google it", I did, and came up with $30-$100, which is a huge price spread. And please, let me know if you did it yourself or had them done. I'm trying to decide it...

DIY brides...coupons
Sci Fi Bride in Do It Yourself, on February 22, 2016 at 10:45 AM

Don't know if you already know this or not, but if you sign up for coupons for Michaels and JoAnn Fabrics (or just download their app) you can get coupons sometimes up to 60% off regular prices. Since...

tuxes
Sci Fi Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on February 22, 2016 at 2:29 PM

I'm pretty much leaving the tuxes to FH...he didn't pick out my dress, I'm not picking out his clothes. But, question: do the dads wear the same tuxes as the groomsmen, or something different. And if...

RSVP 2.0
Sci Fi Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on February 22, 2016 at 10:38 AM

Here's the new incarnation of our RSVPs. I like them much better, although I'm not sure if I like our whole names at the top or is I should just put our initials. And should the "will be attending"...

First attempt at centerpieces: like the idea overall but need constructive criticism for next attempt
Sci Fi Bride in Do It Yourself, on February 20, 2016 at 3:28 PM

Here are our centerpieces. The plastic fern will be replaced with real ferns. I've attached photos both with the candle inside the lantern and without. Each table will have a different picture of our...

RSVPs are just what I wanted, but need opinion on how to fix them
Sci Fi Bride in Etiquette and Advice, on February 20, 2016 at 10:54 AM

My friend made my RSVPs with the Evenstar from Lord of the Rings (our actual invitation is the door to Moria and the envelope has the Tree of Gondor in silver on blue paper). I LOVE the design, but...
