What would you do about terrible DJ?
swfan2016 in Etiquette and Advice, on November 28, 2017 at 1:58 PM

Hi all. We got married on 11/11 and had a wonderful day....except for the DJ. We found our DJ at a bridal show and when I researched them online, I found tons of good reviews and only ONE poor review....

Is it normal for the DJ to not attend rehearsal?
swfan2016 in Planning, on September 13, 2017 at 11:12 AM

We are paying our DJ extra to play music for our ceremony. I asked him if he attends the rehearsal (obviously thinking he would require extra money for the extra time), but he says he never attends...

Cash Bridal Shower...update.
swfan2016 in Etiquette and Advice, on August 19, 2017 at 10:18 AM

Yup. Just got an invite in the mail for a bridal shower for my future SIL that says, "No registry, we want to gift the Bride with cash." Tackyyyyyy. That makes me so uncomfortable and I do not want to...

Wedding day is here...
swfan2016 in Planning, on November 11, 2017 at 9:58 AM

And I am so nervous!!! I’m glad we will be doing a first look and hoping that will calm my nerves. Also, it’s supposed to be 68 today...colder than we originally expected and a chance of rain at 5....

Less than 4 weeks out and so disappointed with both of our wedding venues.
swfan2016 in Planning, on October 17, 2017 at 12:18 PM

When we first booked our venues about a year and a half ago, both coordinators seemed so friendly and accommodating and were a big part of the reasons that we booked them. I've kept in touch with them...

Polyester Tablecloths with Lamour Satin Napkins?
swfan2016 in Planning, on October 16, 2017 at 1:06 PM

Is it weird to mix those? The company I ordered the tablecloths from is out of polyester napkins, so I'm thinking to order the Lamour Satin. It will have a menu in it with a ribbon tied around it. ...

What would you do on this RSVP with added guest??
swfan2016 in Etiquette and Advice, on October 12, 2017 at 10:04 AM

We are having a small wedding and weren't able to invite many friends and extended family members. Now I did not give any of our single guests 1s. Yes, I know. If I could do it all over again, I would...

Why did I even spend the time on a wedding website!
swfan2016 in Etiquette and Advice, on October 10, 2017 at 11:08 AM

Here is my vent of the day. "Don't put your registry info in the invitation!" They say. "It's against etiquette!" They say. So I spent my time putting together our wedding website with plenty of...

Still can't decide if I'm happy with my dress!
swfan2016 in Wedding Attire, on October 10, 2017 at 4:49 PM

I've had on and off dress regret over the past year on my rash decision off the rack dress, but I've also put too much money into it to get another. The seamstress reworked the back because the arrow...

Boudoir Photo Book Layout??
swfan2016 in Do It Yourself, on October 7, 2017 at 1:46 AM

I'm working on my boudoir photobook for my fiance. I have about (80) images and am trying to figure out if I should place them consecutively or just have different images on every page. I started...

swfan2016 in Wedding Attire, on October 7, 2017 at 11:11 PM

Don't let anyone new touch your face, hair, etc. for a few months before the wedding. I am 5 weeks out and had my eyebrows destroyed today. I have a subscription to a brow bar and go every two weeks...

Can I wear rose gold jewelry with this dress?
swfan2016 in Wedding Attire, on September 18, 2017 at 12:08 PM

I am obsessed with rose gold jewelry and would like a back drop necklace, but don't know if it would clash with all of the jewels on this dress? Still mid alterations but hopefully this picture gives...

Married ladies/gents - does anyone REGRET the first look??
swfan2016 in Planning, on September 14, 2017 at 11:34 AM

We have been adamantly against the first look for the last year of planning. My fiance did not want to see me until walking down the aisle. However, the closer we get, the higher anxiety gets for both...

So my future in laws are throwing us a couple's shower this weekend...this was totally unexpected and we feel blessed that they even offered to do so. They asked me to send a list of just my closest...

Am I headed in the wrong direction with my vows?
swfan2016 in Planning, on August 22, 2017 at 3:20 PM

So we are planning to have a very short ceremony, with equal time or majority time to our vows. I have spent the last several months putting together the beginning of what I'm going to say and now I'm...
