When I was originally getting married 2 years ago I wrote Mr. and Mrs. on my invitations, but now 2 years later I am not so sure. Our wedding isn’t informal but it certainly isn’t formal - backyard...
Hi everyone, due to the timing of our wedding most of my photos with just my FH and me will be our sunset photos, which will take place after my dress has already been bustled and my veil is out. Do...
I know you are supposed to put titles next to guests, but do you put them next to your own names in the return address too? Follow up question: are you actually putting Dr. next to people’s names?! It...
Hi all, Such a dumb question here but I'm just not totally getting it. We are writing our own vows. Does the officiant still say something along the lines below after we say our vows, or do we take...
Are these the same thing? My checklist has one item for speeches and one item for toasts so just want to clarify. Thank you!
Hi everyone! One last invitations question! Which do you prefer - doing our return address in the exact same style as the guests address (#1), or doing ours all in cursive instead (#2)? #1: Return...
Hi all! I'm about to address my invitations and I have a question. What I'm finding online is to do "Mr. John and Ms. Jane Doe" but it sounds better to me to do "Mr. and Ms. John and Jane Doe" Is it...
If we are addressing our guests on our invitations as "Mr." or "Ms.", does that mean our return address should use "Mr." and "Ms." and our names, or can the return address be less formal (i.e. just...
Hi all, We've allotted 20 minutes for our ceremony, including the processional and recessional. That would leave 14 minutes of us actually standing at the altar (because 3 minutes for processional and...
I'm just starting to think about the photos I'll take with my mom, sister, bridesmaids, etc. Obviously in normal pictures we put our arm around each other...did you do that in your wedding pictures,...
Is it okay if the officiant requests that people put their phones away after the processional happens, or is that too late? Should he announce it before the bridesmaids start walking down? Thanks!
Such a random detail question that I am spending way too much time thinking about: if we are using olive branch garlands running down the middle of our banquet tables as our centerpieces, would it...
Are you doing pictures with each of your extended families separately, or combining them into one big photo? We're pressed for time during cocktail hour and wondering if we can just combine into one...
Our siblings' and cousins' boyfriends/girlfriends will be at the wedding. Are they typically included in pictures with our extended families, etc? Thanks!
For people whose FS is wearing a tie, or if you yourself are wearing a tie: are you using a tie clip/tie bar? My FH has never worn one before. He is wearing a silk tie if that helps. Just not sure...
Hi all! Here is a pic of the navy suit FH will be wearing...we are struggling so hard on what tie color to wear. His groomsmen are wearing a tie similar in color to the one he is wearing here. Should...
In my HMUA contract, a 20% gratuity is already included. Am I supposed to tip on top of this at my trial and wedding, or is that gratuity charge my tip?
What are you planning on wearing in your hair for the big day? I want to wear my hair half-up half-down and I am definitely wearing a veil, but can't decide whether to also do a headpiece. What are...
We are not having a flower girl, so I was thinking our DOC would just scatter the flowers before I walk down the aisle. Would that be weird? Should I have someone else do it instead? Thanks!
Question for those whose FS is walking with their parent(s) down the aisle. Are they doing this as part of the processional, or is it happening before the processional begins? Are they having their...
