So a few weeks ago, my fmil's mother's invitation was sent back in the mail due to an incorrect address. I went over to her house to see what was going on with it. My fmil said to leave the...

Ceremony time too late?
ShanynL in Etiquette and Advice, on August 9, 2017 at 10:34 AM

My ceremony start time is 7:30pm. Both our father's work schedules are really strict, so they have to work until 5:30 on the wedding day, and the drive is an hour and a half. Because of the late time,...

ShanynL in Etiquette and Advice, on August 7, 2017 at 2:10 PM

One of my close friends is getting married, and I'm so thankful to be in her bridal party. The thing is, she isn't 21, and won't be before her wedding. What batchlorette ideas do you all have that...

Ceremony Programs
ShanynL in Etiquette and Advice, on August 3, 2017 at 11:37 AM

I am expecting 150 guests at the wedding, including families with children. How many ceremony programs should I order? Is 1 per family (with a few extras) enough?

My sister's both found blue dresses they love, and they wanted to get them for the wedding (they're not bridesmaids). The wedding colors are red and champagne, and their corsages are red and white. Do...

Bridesmaid robe alternatives
ShanynL in Community Conversations, on July 24, 2017 at 3:12 PM

I like the idea of my bridesmaids being uniform for getting-ready pictures, but I understand some people won't feel comfortable getting photographed in just a robe. What are some alternative ideas you...

Not sure who is hosting
ShanynL in Etiquette and Advice, on July 24, 2017 at 10:17 AM

My aunts (2) joined together to throw me a bridal shower. My MOH felt a little left out because she didn't see the point in me having two small ones when we could just have one bigger one. She let me...

I sent my RSVP's out a couple weeks ago (to return by Aug 10), and was so excited. I have planned for 100% attendance, but I knew not everyone would make it. I understand people have other plans, but...

I know a lot of couples now are living and sleeping together before marriage, but FH and I are waiting due to our religion. Any advice for the wedding night?
