Can i add other things to our "welcome" sign?
The Sealpups in Wedding Reception, on August 1, 2019 at 7:57 PM

Someone suggested a GREAT idea where I can print two templates on each side of my poster board. We'll be having our ceremony in church and that one will simply say, "welcome to our ceremony". I was...

What are good suggestions for a flower girl headband? Headpiece?
The Sealpups in Wedding Attire, on August 1, 2019 at 6:42 PM

Flower Girl Dress Above the is the link for my flower girl dresses. It's ivory with champagne and I'm looking for a "reasonably cost" headpiece on amazon. I don't want flowers, just more bling that...

Jealous of my Fh's bachelor party...and it's not what you think
The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on July 31, 2019 at 8:16 PM

I'm not the same person I was when I was in my 20's. I'm in my early 30's and I've had to let go of a lot of "friendships" that were not good for me. I was such a doormat. I saw the world with 100%...

Inviting an exchange student to my bridal shower?
The Sealpups in Etiquette and Advice, on July 31, 2019 at 7:15 PM

One of the issues I've been dealing with (as far as wedding planing goes) has been the guest list. One of FH's family believes in "the more the merrier". We disagree. My FH and I have been working...

Why are guests so determined to have a plus one?
The Sealpups in Etiquette and Advice, on July 23, 2019 at 1:47 AM

I need to vent. I just got a headache and finished crying, just from dealing with it. FH and I come from big families. Ideally, we want less than 200 - this is only close family (95%) and close...

The Sealpups in Wedding Attire, on July 30, 2019 at 5:05 PM

Hi ladies! So I have a lace, strapless mermaid wedding dress. For the church ceremony, I want a 3/4 off the shoulder topper I can put it on and for the reception, my seamstress is saving fabric so I...

What is your new, blue, and borrowed?
The Sealpups in Wedding Attire, on July 30, 2019 at 12:40 PM

Also - does your "something blue" have to be something you're wearing? Can my groom count? haha he's wearing midnight blue

What are non-traditional things you're doing for your wedding?
The Sealpups in Planning, on July 14, 2019 at 9:17 PM

I come from an Asian Catholic family - both of our sides expect this big, 300 person wedding with 50 additional Godparents walking down the aisle with us, all the little girls we know as flower girls,...

Would this be a good way to save money on makeup?
The Sealpups in Hair and Makeup, on July 25, 2019 at 2:54 AM

The finances are piling up. I was hoping to get hair and makeup done for my bridesmaids (5) but with makeup alone, it's $650. Hair is another $600-$700. I was told that it was...

Would it be appropriate to mention in the program?
The Sealpups in Planning, on July 24, 2019 at 2:23 PM

My FH has always admired and love his older cousin. She lives on the east coast and we're located on the west coast. I asked her a few months back if her 3 year old son would be our ring bearer....

Would you be weirded out if a family member scheduled a big party near your wedding day?
The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on July 7, 2019 at 3:13 AM

Future SIL and I never had a good relationship. Through the years, she was always domineering, excluding me, passive-agressive bullying me and it wasn't until I got the ring was when she was "decent"...

How many emails do i need to be sending out?
The Sealpups in Planning, on July 17, 2019 at 4:43 PM

Okay - I've officially been the planner for our wedding. We are having a church ceremony and venue reception. Our church coordinator has not been helpful and sends responses late, so I've been having...

I'm thinking of ditching the slide show to do a tribute instead - thoughts?
The Sealpups in Wedding Reception, on July 17, 2019 at 5:25 PM

I've noticed that most asian weddings I've gone to, there's a slideshow. The toasts from the parents are also all about what the kids have achieved and their personal family stories of either the...

What do you think of "getting ready parties" before the ceremony?
The Sealpups in Planning, on July 16, 2019 at 4:00 PM

Often times you see champagne, snacks, etc... when it comes to the hair/makeup portion of the wedding day. My ceremony will be early morning at 11AM - which, by the way - can anyone recommend a good...

Would it be weird if i added 2 more bridesmaids?
The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on July 15, 2019 at 10:02 PM

I have 2 older cousins who I looked up to growing up. There was a big age gap but since we've gotten older, we got along really well. Another cousin - Debbie, I did not meet until I was much older but...

How do/did you keep your wedding focused on the couple? How did you deal with cultural expectations of your wedding
The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on July 13, 2019 at 4:04 PM

I don't know if this is a cultural thing but some asian weddings I've gone to, the bride and groom were NOT the focus. The focus was more on their families - mom, dad, sister, brothers, dog,...

Where did you and your guests stay the night before and the night of the wedding?
The Sealpups in Planning, on April 30, 2019 at 2:39 PM

We're very lucky that our reception venue is near hotels! There's a silver cloud inn right across the street from our venue! We have so many options, including booking other hotels (less than half a...

The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on July 10, 2019 at 12:29 PM

Our flower girls are two 3 year old girls - one is my cousin's daughter and the other is my FH's cousin's daughter (her dad will also be the best man). I asked his wife in person if little Suzie can...

How did you save money on hair and makeup?
The Sealpups in Hair and Makeup, on July 9, 2019 at 8:51 PM

From what I've seen (not sure if it's a cultural thing or in the area), brides get their bridesmaids nails done a week before the wedding and their hair/makeup done on the day of. I would've loved to...

Does the moh plan the bridal shower alone?
The Sealpups in Parties and Events, on July 6, 2019 at 2:35 PM

I'm having a power struggle with my sister - the MOH with planning my bridal shower. I'm very decisive and straightforward. Before it was a thing to plan, I had rough draft of the theme, food/games...
