Wedding Website Link on STD?
Silverlava in Etiquette and Advice, on December 16, 2016 at 12:27 PM

Most of our guests are from out of town, meaning that they will need to reserve a hotel room. The hotel rooms in the area of the wedding book up well in advance (so that 2 months notice from just the...

When should I order Invitations?
Silverlava in Planning, on December 16, 2016 at 12:37 AM

Zazzle has a 50% off sale until Saturday, with which I will be buying the STDs. Should I buy the invitations at the same time? Or wait to see if there is a better deal, or if any info I have (times,...

On Saturday, I bought my wedding gown! Since I've been mostly busy, I haven't had time to post, but look! It's so pretty!

Printing STD?
Silverlava in Do It Yourself, on December 11, 2016 at 2:02 AM

I have experience in graphic design (I do it for work), so I was considering designing our STD's. How would I go about printing the design though? And what size should the card be? My other option is...

Show me your dress sash/belt
Silverlava in Wedding Attire, on December 7, 2016 at 12:29 PM

I am going to be adding a sparkly sash/belt to my dress and I really want to see more ideas! I'm loving the big-in-the-middle belt-buckle look in the pic attached. What sash are you going to use/do...

Planning a honeymoon with unsure vacation days?
Silverlava in Honeymoon, on December 6, 2016 at 12:09 PM

My FH is looking at changing careers, since he isn't happy at his current company. (pro tip: don't make someone a manager with no training... They will make their underlings' lives hell and they will...

Found our florist!
Silverlava in Style and Décor, on December 6, 2016 at 10:46 AM

We are about to put a deposit down today for a florist and couldnt be happier with our choice. They are local to us and very easy to talk to. I wish I hadn't spent so much time at other florists...

Lost the first 20 lbs!
Silverlava in Fitness and Health, on December 2, 2016 at 4:04 PM

2 months into the engagement, and I've lost the first 20 lbs. Psyched to lose the next 20! Anyone else doing well with their wedding goals?

First dress shopping trip! Stories enclosed.
Silverlava in Wedding Attire, on December 3, 2016 at 9:16 PM

Today I went dress shopping for the first time! It was overall quite a bit more fun than I thought it would be. However, it was kind of a mixed bag of experiences. Some of you may remember me asking...

Registry Ettiquite--Am I asking too much?
Silverlava in Etiquette and Advice, on November 27, 2016 at 6:28 PM

I've never been one to ask for things, so registering--while very fun--feels very awkward to me. My FH and I live together already so we have everything we need. I have been treating the registry as...

Dress appointments?
Silverlava in Planning, on November 27, 2016 at 5:09 PM

I am going to be trying on dresses this coming Saturday, and I'm wondering if perhaps I've scheduled them too close together? I have one at 9:45 am, a second at noon, and a third at 2pm. Each shop is...

Accommodating Dietary Preferences?
Silverlava in Etiquette and Advice, on November 22, 2016 at 2:57 PM

So our guest list is ~90 people. Three people on that list are vegan (not vegetarian, all-out vegan). Our venue does the catering, so I don't have the option of changing them (and to be fair, I...

WW Messages issue?
Silverlava in Community Conversations, on November 22, 2016 at 2:19 PM

Has anyone else come across this? At least 3 vendors I've contacted through WW's messaging service have told me they did not receive my message. It seems to be sporadic because they will get messages...

How long to wait for a quote?
Silverlava in Planning, on November 21, 2016 at 10:43 PM

I met with a florist 2 weeks ago and haven't heard back about a quote. I understand it is the holiday season now, but I was under the impression I would get a quote within a few days. Has anyone else...

Dollar dance?
Silverlava in Etiquette and Advice, on November 16, 2016 at 4:05 PM

So I know WW's opinion on asking for money, but I am torn. Literally every wedding I have been to (in MN) had a dollar dance. My fiance says we have to do it, since it is tradition on his side of the...

Handling kids at a no-kid wedding?
Silverlava in Etiquette and Advice, on November 16, 2016 at 8:06 PM

We are having a child-free wedding, but just found out from the best man that his wife is expecting! (So happy for them!) However, this is a destination wedding for them, and the baby would be 2...

Sealing Wax Color
Silverlava in Do It Yourself, on November 18, 2016 at 12:50 PM

My wedding is inspired by lilacs and succulents--so pastel purples, pinks, and greens. I want to put sealing wax on each of the invitation envelopes (always wanted to do that, finally have a fancy...

Annoyed; Just need to rant.
Silverlava in Community Conversations, on November 16, 2016 at 10:30 PM

Silverlava in Style and Décor, on November 16, 2016 at 3:27 PM

I have two shelving alcolves at my venue that I need to fill with something. (1st pictured below, second in a later comment. Ignore the items filling them in the pictures, another bride had stashed...
