So, some oddball addressing questions. How do you address: Family members who live with extended family such as: Gmother lives with Aunt and Uncle (does she get her own invitation?) Aunt who lives...

My mom is difficult at best. I've promised my sister (who is also my MoH) a giant bottle of Amaretto for taking care of her for me. She said she's going to carry it around like a baby, pet it, and...

I'm just trying to trim down our budget a little here and there, and I'm wondering if I really need the accomodation/information cards for our invitations since everything is up on the website? And if...

So, weird question: is it tacky to put used items on a registry? I'm an "older" bride and have most of what I want or need already, especially since FH and I just combined households in August. I LOVE...

Is there a one stop registry somewhere that I can kind of compile all our registries into one database? Fh doesn't even want a registry, because he says his family will just give us money anyway, but...

Weird question of the day: if our envelopes are mongrammed (it turns out our save the dates don't come with envelopes, so I'm getting inexpensive ones from Vistaprint) whose monogram do we use? His or...

It's time to start gathering addresses as I order my STDs (that acronym still cracks me up). What's the proper way to address an invitation to a married couple who live in different countries? She's...

I got divorced 7 years ago from an abusive man who literally left me and our two kids with the pennies in the couch to live on, no car, no job, a busted hot water heater and a house in foreclosure. I...

I've called, texted, emailed, and Facebooked. I finally poked her adult daughter and said "Hey, I can't get a hold of your mom, have her give me a ring" and nothing. Dresses have to be ordered...

What would you say is a reasonable budget for invitations? (About 100)? I finally got a quote back from the printer and I'm trying to decide if my heart should stop or if that's just how much...

So, for those of you following my wedding follies, I decided to go with an uneven number of BM because I'm not going to just stick a warm body in a dress. If I can't have the people I WANT to stand...

....and....I finally got a guest list out of my FH this weekend. The only problem is his mother asked (and she hasn't been pushy about one thing so I see no reason not to respect her request) if we...

I have been at an impasse between the two florists I like, and realized I really the centerpiece ideas of one and the bouquets of the other. Would it be that unusual to hire both, one for bouquets and...

So after all my holiday weekend angst, I took everyone's advice and: Contacted the bridal shop to have a fitting with the seamstress so we can decide exactly what can be done about the cut of the...

I've been venting a lot about my wedding woes. I know a lot of you told me to take a step back, but I know how I am and if I do that, I'll never get back to it. I have to sustain momentum or I become...

I looked at 3 florists (I decided on the best of 3 rule for everything to save me from running all over the state). The first one was very nice, but not very imaginative, so she was right out. (I...

Sorry it seems like all my posts are rants, i think i'm trying to talk myself out of my bridal rut...but anyway, we've been emailing various cake places to get a price on style of cake we want because...

So, first Thanksgiving with the inlaws tonight. First, before I even get started, let me say I love my future inlaws. My MIL is a saint, and I would swap her for my own mother, who is on most...

Is this just a pre wedding slump all brides go through, or have I just had enough? I don't like my venue anymore (it was 3rd on our list of choices and not by any means my favorite, but we couldn't...

Yes, a TARDIS. If you don't know what that is, google it or feel free to move along. My fiance and I are doing basically a gardeny woodsy wedding, with sci fi touches (we fell in love at Comic Con,...
