I’ll admit it- she’s my bridesmaid bc we’ve known each other for so long. I’m also her bridesmaid. Is she one of my favorite people? No. Did we grow apart? Definitely. Did I want this to happen? No,...

We have two 3 year olds as our flower girls. I was thinking of having them hold flower balls but I feel like that's common in our families/area. The basket of flowers may work too but I don't want to...

I'm a mess and I feel like it's my fault for not being such a bridezilla. It's probably not such a big deal but I'm just somewhat frustrated about it. I'm having my bridesmaids dress in a...

I'm new to this but just found out that near the end of mass, the couple presents a bouquet of flowers to the virgin Mary statue. I LOVE this! We're having our grandmothers part of wedding mass and...

I was never a hard party person in my 20’s. I like to drink but I was never to type to get wasted. For my bachelorette, I wanted more of an experience/small getaway. Different than what we’re used to...

It's understood that when you go to a wedding, you go to both the ceremony AND reception. We are having a catholic mass, cocktail hour, and the reception. My wedding website is on zola - when guests...

What's nice about zola is that you can add items from other stores and it's all under one registry page. I already registered with "crate and barrel". We've also noticed that our family members tend...

I am very thankful for my parents paying for the wedding. From what I've gathered, (with just the reception) my mom is paying 2/3 and is requesting the groom's parents to pay 1/3. Groom and I are...

Asian weddings are usually huge- up to 300 people. It’s usually filled with extended families/friend of both bride and groom’s parents. My FH and I are aiming for 165 or up to 200 people, which is...

I went to a wedding where it had both and thought it was nice. At first, I wasn't fond of the "name card" idea (unnecessary expenses) but from the guest experience, I found that the name cards had a...

FH and I are keeping close to what we would want in our wedding. We have our family, it will be in our hometown, catholic ceremony, and reception on the water. It's going to be the closest we would...

Okay. I know in the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal but it really bothers me that people just want to go to the reception but not the ceremony. I find it rude. The reception is where you...

I had a feeling (especially on my FH’s side) that people would say, “can we just tell you we’re coming?”, which is why I posted that as our FIRST question on our FAQ of the website. Its only gone live...

Besides the mimosa bar, I'm thinking of doing an "advice" bar (recipes for solutions) for the bridal shower. Each station will have a question or scenario and all the guests would have to write and...

I'm going to claim that I'm a good FH. I've been doing ALL of the wedding planning, I'm NOT a bridezilla, and I give my FH options and choices according to his preferences. My FH means well, he has...

I'm in the final stages of finishing the wedding website. I'm using ZOLA. The home page gives you the option of add your "how we met" and "the proposal" stories. I added a "Welcome to our website"...

We're using Zola and guests have the option of answering a fun question each time they RSVP to the ceremony and reception. For the ceremony, our question is: "what is your advice for the newlyweds?"...

Maybe I'm overthinking it but I think it would be nice to give people the option of having rental cars or discounted. I know the TURO app would be helpful. Cars from costco rental? Has anyone had...

**WRITE*** (not right. Post memorial day brain fart) Back in my late teens and up until my mid-late 20's, I was such a doormat. Good girl, people pleaser, you name it. It took a lot of time (and...

My bridesmaids will be a mix and match of neural colors: For the flower girls, I want them in white or embroidered flowers but in the same dress. I feel like that’s more cohesive. If they were...
