So I put my FH in charge of the groomsmen (getting their rentals ordered & buying their gifts) and completely went hands-off. Today (80ish days out) I ask my FH if the groomsmen have rented their...

I'd love to hear some numbers. My plan was $40 each for the gift, but Im also paying for the girl's dresses & makeup(~200 each), and the guy's ties (~20 each, but i couponed it down from 50...

Is this normal at weddings? At the last one i attended, Id order a screwdriver. The bartender would fill the cup with ice, then fill half the cup with orange juice, add a splash of vodka, then water...

I'm so lost right now. My family kinda nuked my original decor design, so I'm trying to start from scratch. However, I am at a loss trying to find a place to rent these items! Any idea where to...

A coworker of mine who I'm not terribly close with asked if I was registered any where. I said no, not yet (a lie), because I felt super awkward giving my registry info to someone I won't be inviting...

Anyone else have silly little dramas that stir up way more trouble than you were expecting? I just had my share of a surprising backlash yesterday, but thanks to Weddingwire I was able to handle it...

So FH and I have a wedding to go to this weekend. Being so busy planning my wedding, I forgot about basic details for this wedding like what FH and I need to wear to this (very formal) affair. So last...

Is there a specific way to book a rehearsal dinner or is it just calling and making a reservation for 30-odd people? I feel like with that volume the restaurant wouldn't be able to seat you all...

Many guests have asked me what the dress code will be for the wedding and I am completely confused as to what I should pick. I always just wear a nice cocktail dress to weddings and I haven't been...

Two of my friends had a huge falling out over a stupid misunderstanding, but both of them are too stubborn to fix it, so I doubt anything will be changed prior to the wedding. STD's have already gone...

I'm looking to do a hair and makeup trial on the same day, and the makeup will be airbrush. Which one should I shedule first?

All of our wedding party is from out of town, and all are young adults. I want to spend time with them just hanging out (especially since we haven't seen most of them in a year), but itd be in a more...

I dropped my ring off for resizing today--unfortunately with the cold weather and my weight loss, it is a full size, almost a size and a half, too big. Now, even more unfortunately, I won't be getting...

Does the photographer come to your house and you just wear whatever lingerie outfits you have? Or do you go into a studio and they have a set for you? The only reason I ask is because I hate our...

I'm not the greatest at being able to tell quality and walk-ability of a shoe from a picture, so I prefer to try them on in person. Without spending $800 on a designer boutique shop, or dealing...
