starsinwaves in Wedding Reception, on July 3, 2018 at 1:04 PM

So I feel like a crazy person for even asking this, but I'm looking into ordering linen napkins for the wedding and there seem to be two popular size options, 17"x17" and 20"x20". The 20" ones are...

Hi everyone. I just need to vent a bit because I'm so frustrated that we don't have our photos yet. So we never asked our photographer ahead of time how long it would take to get our photos back. I...

starsinwaves in Planning, on October 29, 2018 at 5:05 PM

So it happened. After everything I've been doing for the past year, all the DIY, I messed something up! I ordered $250 worth of Italian cookies and pastries over the weekend to be delivered to...

starsinwaves in Planning, on September 23, 2018 at 7:32 PM

We're seven weeks out so I know there is still a lot of time, but my anxiety is starting to kick in. I had a dream the other night that my HMUA and photographer didn't show up and booked other...

Popcorn favors or a popcorn bar?
starsinwaves in Wedding Reception, on September 20, 2018 at 1:03 PM

This is a totally unimportant thing, but I'm wondering what people would prefer. We are wanting to give gourmet popcorn as a favor. We can either buy one flavor in bulk and fill favor bags to leave at...

Two questions from me today. My shower is this weekend and I'm wondering if I should bring the hosts thank you cards and gifts to the shower or send something after? It's easier to bring a gift than...
