Caution rant ahead: open bars
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Wedding Attire, on December 19, 2015 at 2:11 PM

I know this is a very touchy subject on here but this isn't the same old rehash of cash bar blah blah rant. My FH and I decided right off the bat we are going to have an open bar. The problem is...

Cakes!! Let's see them!
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Style and Décor, on December 18, 2015 at 6:53 PM

Trying to figure out what kind of cake we want. Originally I wanted cupcakes but I'm thinking a cake now. My FH and my ideas of what it should look like are very different. He wants a more traditional...

Bridesmaid dress shopping alone?
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Wedding Attire, on December 13, 2015 at 6:04 PM

I would like my BMs to be able to go with me but it is proving to be hard to get them together or even go with me at separate times. I'm not sure if I should just go alone or with my mom or FMIL and...

Well Wishes Box
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Planning, on December 13, 2015 at 3:41 AM

Has or is anyone doing this? My MOH thought it would be a good idea but one of my other friends had one at her wedding and I'm the only one that filled one out. I was thinking maybe it'd be better to...

Registry fun and some questions.
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Etiquette and Advice, on December 6, 2015 at 6:13 PM

First off what's something you and your fiancé put on your registry that you really wanted but thought you wouldn't receive and ended up getting it? What's your favorite item? What's the coolest/most...

Justice of the Peace Wedding?
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Wedding Attire, on December 2, 2015 at 9:20 AM

Has anyone done this? Did you wear your wedding dress or another type of white dress or just regular clothes? My FH has joined the air force and is leaving for basic training in March. Since we don't...

To add a bridesmaid or not to add a bridesmaid?
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Etiquette and Advice, on November 29, 2015 at 11:02 AM

I can't make up my mind. My one friend and I are close but we fight on and off a lot. And in the past few years our friendship has been more of a we don't talk unless we needed the other one but we've...

Troubles finding a venue to suit
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Planning, on November 15, 2015 at 12:28 PM

So my FH is insistent on having an open bar at our wedding. I agree it is much nicer to atleast have some alcohol guests do not have to pay for so we settled on the idea to provide a certain amount...

Bridesmaid dresses
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Wedding Attire, on November 16, 2015 at 7:57 AM

Did you have all your bridesmaids together to go shopping for their dresses? I only have one that lives near me and the other two are 2 or more hours away. It's proving difficult to get all 3 or even...

Guest Book Alternatives
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Planning, on November 8, 2015 at 8:27 AM

I really do not want just a regular book that everyone signs in and after the wedding just gets stored somewhere and not really ever seen again. I know there's a lot of options out there but I haven't...

First Dance Songs and Dances
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Planning, on November 7, 2015 at 8:54 PM

What are you and your FH using as your first dance song? Are you doing a special type of dance? I have to admit I've been watching a lot of those YouTube videos recently where the bride and groom do a...

Do my bouqets need filler flowers? Opinions?
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Style and Décor, on November 8, 2015 at 8:05 PM

Just went with my MOH today and picked out all my flowers for my bouquet, MOH's, and my 2 BM's. I just want to know if they need filler flowers and what you would suggest using if they do? I don't...

SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Style and Décor, on November 7, 2015 at 9:05 AM

Ok, I need some help... my FH and I have been slowly figuring out our centerpieces. I will post pictures of what we have so far. We are going to go with white table linens instead of the orange that...

Linen colors or white?
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Style and Décor, on October 22, 2015 at 11:28 AM

Trying to figure out what would look the best. All white/ivory table linens and skirts or white with color overlays or color table cloths. What'd you do or are you doing?

All the same centerpieces or a variety of different ones?
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Wedding Attire, on October 18, 2015 at 7:08 PM

I was talking to a bride I work with today and she mentioned that she's not going to have all the centerpieces be the same for every table. I hadn't even thought of this possibility. What are you...

All white or colorful bride bouquet?
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Style and Décor, on October 14, 2015 at 5:44 AM

My dress is ivory so it has just enough of an off white hue to it that my mother's veil goes perfectly with it without me having to oxyclean it. My bridesmaids are in jade dresses and I'm planning for...

Wedding color question
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Planning, on October 6, 2015 at 6:31 PM

Orginally my FH and I decided to have burnt orange and teal as our colors. Since those are his and my favorite colors. But we are on a pretty tight budget constraint and I'm having a rough time...

I can't sleep tonight.. so I'm wondering how did you choose your date?
SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Community Conversations, on September 29, 2015 at 10:21 PM

FH goes away tomorrow for his physical at MEPS for the airforce and I'm a little worried and can't sleep so I thought it would be fun to hear how everyone came up with their date?

SoontoBeMrsBatdorf in Style and Décor, on September 28, 2015 at 10:29 PM

So my FH and I each had an idea of what we wanted and I combined them to make one. I love our centerpieces but I feel like its just not enough. In addition to the bowls with the water beads and...
