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...

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...

I only have about 10 out of town family groups coming. I picked up some local attractions/restaurant types guides. What other stuff are y'all putting in your welcome packets? Wedding is July in the...

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....

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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?
