Place cards question...
Shaquaya in Etiquette and Advice, on March 12, 2014 at 11:46 AM

Working on my place cards and I have a question. Do you give everyone their own or do you put the couples together ex: Mr. and Mrs. Smith Table 1? Just curious...thanks in advance!

Gifts for parents. Do you buy them a gift even if they didn't help pay for anything?
Shaquaya in Etiquette and Advice, on February 21, 2014 at 1:29 PM

My parents aren't helping to pay for anything. I may even be paying for my father's tux (don't ask). My FH's mother did buy a few extra vases for the centerpieces but other than that FH & I have paid...

Shaquaya in Wedding Attire, on February 20, 2014 at 11:09 AM

Ok I lied in my title because this girl isn't even an MUA. She just likes to do makeup & she begged me to try her out so I did. She did the trial for free & I LOVE it! She gave me just what I wanted....

Debating if we want to rent a limo...is it worth it for the few hours?
Shaquaya in Planning, on February 19, 2014 at 9:31 AM

Ok so I'm clueless as to how long you should rent the limo. I'm thinking the limo's only purpose is to take u from the ceremony location to the reception location, which in our case is about 20 mins,...
