Shellie in Do It Yourself, on May 8, 2012 at 4:33 PM

Spin off- so what are you spending your money on?
Shellie in Planning, on May 7, 2012 at 7:40 PM

With all this budget talk i thought it would be interesting to see the break down of everyone's wedding. That way we can get an idea of what everyone else is spending their 5k or 25k budget on. Tell...

Invites ready to send out!
Shellie in Planning, on May 8, 2012 at 2:17 PM

Yay! though we forgot to change some of the labels (a couple got married, another we spelled wrong) so we just hand wrote them. I am really hoping that they don't weigh to much. FH keeps laughing at...

Card box/cage/tower/etc! We decided to do a large vase for cards- similar to this picture, but ours wont have the flowers on top, and we will probably use the etching paint to write our names and the...

After the wedding- buying things off your registries?
Shellie in Community Conversations, on April 24, 2012 at 1:43 PM

I was just thinking about this while packing up all our crap to move yesterday- Are you planning to buy things off your registries that you don't get as gifts? Some things I don't think I would buy,...

FBIL got married today!
Shellie in Community Conversations, on April 18, 2012 at 10:35 PM

I had a busy busy day today full of "hurry up and wait" We got up early to drive 2 hours to my FBIL's wedding, but we got there extra early so we went out to breakfast and hung out at FFIL's house. We...

What to write in thank you cards.
Shellie in Etiquette and Advice, on April 17, 2012 at 5:15 PM

So I was writing a thank you card to send to our photographer (they sent us a cute little bath and body works gift set) last night and my FH said to me, "you know we are just going to give everyone...

is it weird....
Shellie in Community Conversations, on April 14, 2012 at 9:56 PM

That I like to look at other peoples registries? It's funny how much you can learn about someone by what they registered for. I keep seeing things that I forgot to add to mine- like a nice pitcher, or...

Surprise from our photographer
Shellie in Community Conversations, on April 13, 2012 at 11:42 PM

So today was a long day- woke up early to finish getting my presentation finished, drove 2 hours to present (it was a very small crowd- but when are academic conferences ever busy?) and then drove...

NWR- birth control rant (TMI?)
Shellie in Fitness and Health, on April 12, 2012 at 2:20 PM

I started birth control like a week and a half ago because my periods are from hell, and I'm trying to make it so i won't be on my period during the wedding. But the BC has been making me super...

How much are you paying for a bartender?
Shellie in Planning, on April 12, 2012 at 7:56 PM

We can bring all our own drinks for our venue- but we must have a licensed bartender to serve the alcohol. We found a service that is $50 an hour, plus 20% tip and $15 travel fee. They...

KWR- Not religious
Shellie in Community Conversations, on April 12, 2012 at 12:56 PM

Hey all- I see a lot of posts talking about religious things (premarital classes/meetings with clergy, different symbols of god in marriage, etc) and I'm just wondering anyone else not religious at...

second guessing my meal option
Shellie in Planning, on April 11, 2012 at 6:30 PM

Our current plan is to have an Italian inspired meal because it was the cheapest option. $10.50 a person it would include Caesar salad bread sticks fresh fruit grilled or fresh veggies (haven't...

Question about JVL rings for those who have bought one
Shellie in Wedding Attire, on April 9, 2012 at 2:31 PM

Do they actually come with the JVL Tungsten inscription that it shows on the website? We like the rings, and for the price with the code it can't be beat- but we don't really like the inscription.

Bridal shower today.
Shellie in Community Conversations, on April 7, 2012 at 12:31 AM

Though there wasn't a big turn out (a whole 5 of us- me, my FMIL, FSIL, friend of FMIL, and a friend of mine) it was still fun. We played a game, opened gifts, and then they used scraps of fabric from...

Shellie in Planning, on April 5, 2012 at 2:13 PM

And only 4 people have RSVP'd. 3 yeses and a no. Out of 13 people invited. I know because it was planned about 2 and a half weeks before people can't take work off and such- but you could at least go...

Pro hair/make-up for bridesmaids
Shellie in Wedding Attire, on April 4, 2012 at 2:48 PM

I'm curious- are your BM getting their hair and make-up professionally done? Whose paying for it? Are you requiring it? What if some do and some don't? I can't afford to pay for all my BM, but if I...

I know I'm forgetting something
Shellie in Do It Yourself, on April 3, 2012 at 2:07 PM

I keep remembering things I need to budget for, so my budget keeps going up. I hate online tools because they never have specifics, only broad topics. This is what I have so far- what am I missing?...
