I've seen it both ways: 3:30 pm and Three-thirty in the afternoon Which is correct. Or does it matter?

Is there any way I can word an invitation to keep someone I don't want at my wedding from showing up as a plus 1? Specifically, my oldest daughter and I are estranged (she ran away last fall and moved...

So, this has the potential to be awkward: My dad (step dad...but since he's the only dad I've known I consider him dad) brought his girlfriend to dinner last night. I like her (and, I'm sorry to say,...

...and I haven't even sent out invitations yet! A friend of mine sent us a gift card after she received our STD because her son is getting married a month after our wedding and she won't be able to...

First, let me say a lot my anxiety ebbed after our preview dinner on Friday. The food was fantastic and if any of our guests don't like the food, they wouldn't like the same dish served anywhere else,...

So, since some of you think I whinge a lot...I thought I would share some positives: We had our preview dinner last night. Like some of you suggested, we moved our reservation from Valentines Day...

When we started planning our wedding I was anxious because they still talk about FH's first wedding and how spectacular it was. The food, the venue, everything. It was perfect. I do not have her...

We've had a succession of annoyances with our venue, but we're in too deep now to change our minds. Any one by itself I would probably brush off, but now they're starting to piss off FH, too. Most...

If I save money by not having information cards printed, where is it most appropriate to put info directing guests to our wedding website? Invitation? RSVP card? word of mouth?

So, the family jewelers nephew is getting married the month before us. He lives two doors down from the FH's parents, and whenever the family needs something shiny, they go to him (he sold FH my...

When we booked our venue, one of their big selling points was that their chef runs a restaurant locally and we would be given a voucher to go have a dinner, sample the food, and since many of the same...

I'm wondering if it's ok for me to make a 'general' seating chart and let everyone pick their own places at their table instead of labeling each spot? I only ask because I have a minor memory...

I had a mishap last night with an upper cabinet door left open and my head. I got a trip to urgent care out of the deal and two staples. FH was a doll, despite my being a complete baby about the...

A head up to all the ladies out there who aren't aware of this already. I've been reading a lot about it because I work in the birth community, but there is a new virus that started in Brazil and is...

A close family friend recently attended a wedding at our venue and mentioned a few things she said we should probably make sure don't happen at our wedding. One was a serving issue with the h'or...

I'm assuming the answer is fairly obvious, but sometimes the obvious answer isn't the right answer. Lots of FHs guest list have the same name...sometimes same first and last (this is what you get when...

FH's grandmother passed last week. Things were very tense with the aunt who was her caretaker, FFIL (her brother) and and youngest aunt (their sister) for a variety of reasons, the timing and manner...

How do I address invitations to: A cousin and his fiance who don't live together. Does each get one, or do I address to him and assume she'll get it by word of mouth? Maiden names or hyphenated last...

I was starting to worry because I couldn't find a wedding ring I liked to match my engagement ring. Not that they have to 'match' match, but FH got a vintage style engagement ring because I like...

I was so excited about our save the dates that I mailed hers first, and sent her a copy of it on Facebook. All I got in response was "thanks". I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was more than...
