Nashville honeymoon??
TamraTexas in Tennessee Planning, on March 14, 2017 at 9:34 AM

We only have 4 days after the wedding for a quick honeymoon (going to Europe later) and Southwest has cheap flights to Nashville from Dallas and we both like country music. We don't want to rent a car...

Dress only fits over my head
TamraTexas in Wedding Attire, on June 5, 2017 at 10:10 AM

Had my dress fitting and realized that my dress only fits over my head- the curse of wide hips! Also the seamstress added sleeves but the lace is so delicate that I can't lift my arms over my head or...

TamraTexas in Planning, on May 30, 2017 at 10:48 AM

Noon BBQ lunch reception for 60 people- it ends at 3:30pm. FH has 7 cases of beer already and I was thinking a bottle of red and white for each table mostly for toasting (we have 9 tables). He thinks...

What was the ring insurance company?
TamraTexas in Etiquette and Advice, on May 3, 2017 at 8:12 PM

A few weeks ago someone posted about ring insurance and recommended a company. I thought I saved a screen shot but I guess I didn't. I only have WW on my phone so I can't search and can't find it....

Stock the Bar Shower?
TamraTexas in Planning, on May 1, 2017 at 6:44 PM

So I got invited to a couples shower for my coworker. It's a "Stock Our Bar" shower and everyone is encouraged to bring bottles of alcohol as the gift. Apparently that's what they're using to stock...

Pinterest and Photos oh my
TamraTexas in Community Conversations, on April 27, 2017 at 6:01 PM

10 weeks to go and I swear I can't wait to delete all my saved wedding decor/dress/hair photos off my phone and to get back to a non- wedding filled Pinterest! Some days it's overloaded ha. I'd delete...

TamraTexas in Etiquette and Advice, on April 16, 2017 at 10:50 PM

So my son just recently got engaged. Since I've been planning my own wedding I told him what I've learned here- top 3: guest list, budget, venue before setting a date or any other planning. They want...

No Pre-Wedding Stuff, a little bummed
TamraTexas in Community Conversations, on April 12, 2017 at 10:49 AM

I knew when I picked my BP and all my girls live in other states, that I'd be forgoing a bachelorette party and I was okay with it. But now that the wedding is getting closer I'm a little bummed since...

Wish App deals
TamraTexas in Do It Yourself, on April 6, 2017 at 9:41 AM

I know a lot of the stuff for sale on the Wish App is cheaply made but if anyone is looking for DIY stuff like ribbon, fairy lights, fake flowers, party tent or other wedding related stuff, they have...

FILs not coming..gifts?
TamraTexas in Etiquette and Advice, on April 3, 2017 at 1:50 PM

So FHs parents are divorced and remarried and none of them are attending the wedding because they all live OOS and also don't like being around each other. His mom is still close with FH's ex wife and...

TamraTexas in Etiquette and Advice, on March 30, 2017 at 5:18 PM

Quick lame question. FH is inviting everyone in his office (12 people and their +1s). I asked him to get everyone's addresses and spouses names for the invitations. He says he will just take a dozen...

So my mom sent me earrings and a necklace last week for my birthday. They are very pretty and I like them. When I called to thank her she told me that she got them so I could wear them on my wedding...

Honeymoon Lingerie
TamraTexas in Honeymoon, on March 24, 2017 at 10:10 AM

I'm in love with the nightgowns from Sarafina Dreams on Etsy. They are so dreamy! But oh my goodness they are pricey! Has anyone bought from them? Worth it? Other suggestions. ETA spelling

Weird idea or no?
TamraTexas in Style and Décor, on March 18, 2017 at 3:14 AM

My venue is a tiny (seats 100 max) historic church where I'll have to go from outside to down the aisle, no foyer or room to wait in. I'd like to have a few moments to compose myself without being on...

Good per person budget
TamraTexas in Planning, on March 17, 2017 at 2:55 PM

I'm curious what a good per person budget is in order to host properly. Do you do per person for the entire wedding budget or just the catering/bar? Thanks.

So the little chapel we are getting married in is pretty bare bones. I took pics today since I meet with the florist on Friday about flower decor. I already know I'm doing some sort of hanging thing...

Seating Chart or No?
TamraTexas in Planning, on February 27, 2017 at 2:44 PM

75 people at a lunchtime BBQ reception. Undecided about whether to do an assigned seating chart or just let everyone pick their own seat. What do y'all think?
