Can someone decline as a bridesmaid but still attend?
The Sealpups in Etiquette and Advice, on March 22, 2019 at 8:51 PM

I know this question is weird but in this case- let’s say that you’re asking someone to be bridesmaid and she lives in another state. The only thing you request is that she shows up to the wedding-...

Will the right people be at your wedding?
The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on March 22, 2019 at 6:01 PM

I guess this is more of a philosophical question. I know most of us brides worry about whether people can attend or not. Realistically, I’ve accepted that not everyone will be able to attend. As a big...

Sending invitations 4 months before too soon?
The Sealpups in Planning, on March 18, 2019 at 6:26 PM

Our date is on September 1st (yes, labor day weekend). Our families typically do not travel, so we thought it would be perfect, especially since we would be getting the next day off. More than half of...

How do you get started with reserving rooms for a hotel?
The Sealpups in Planning, on March 18, 2019 at 7:08 PM

Most of our guests are coming from out of town. Luckily, we have a hotel right across the street from our venue and another one 3 minutes away. I've read that you can filter out and do a search...

How to designate bridesmaids dresses?
The Sealpups in Wedding Attire, on March 11, 2019 at 8:03 PM

4 out of my 6 bridesmaids are from out of town; 2 are here (including my MOH), so bridesmaid dress shopping will be online. I really want my bridesmaids to wear a mix/match neutral palette that is a...

Are there any good "mommy and me" retailers or websites for formal dresses?
The Sealpups in Wedding Attire, on February 25, 2019 at 3:53 PM

I've mentioned in another discussion that my MIL is really wanting her newborn granddaughter as a flower girl. Fiancé and i agreed that having a baby would be too stressful and would take away...

What do you think of fortune bouquets?
The Sealpups in Wedding Reception, on February 26, 2019 at 3:48 PM

I was single for most of my 20's and was hounded for it, "when are you going to get a boyfriend?" When I was dating my now fiancé, I purposely hid in the bathroom when bouquet tosses were happening -...

Is the pearl color too close to a wedding dress color?
The Sealpups in Wedding Attire, on February 25, 2019 at 3:48 PM

My colors will be a mix & match of neutral colors (cream, champagne, taupe, and a blush). My sister is my MOH and I don't mind if she's the "Pippa Middleton" of our wedding. If anyone is going to...

When do you normally meet with your church and venue coordinator?
The Sealpups in Planning, on February 22, 2019 at 4:18 PM

Our wedding will be in September - we booked the church and venue site for the reception. In my experience, the coordinator for the church hasn't been answering many questions (she only seemed...

Is a flower girl baby realistic?
The Sealpups in Wedding Ceremony, on February 24, 2019 at 4:13 AM

I know I definitely don’t want a baby included in the wedding party- it’s too much work and stress. My fiance’s sister just had a baby and I had a feeling his mom was going to push and have her be a...

What is the point of "save the dates" and "invitations"?
The Sealpups in Planning, on February 20, 2019 at 10:33 PM

In my experience, I don't see a point when everyone just asks me (and you can tell I'm getting very annoyed with this post). I've just texted or messaged people for the addresses to send these "save...

How did you answer nosy questions about your wedding?
The Sealpups in Planning, on February 20, 2019 at 11:00 PM

I'm not as lucky as most of you and unfortunately, my fiance & I have alot of nosy people in our family who love to talk, gossip, and ask nosy questions without shame. There's no such thing as...

I’m planning to have a neural palette of cream, blush, beige,taupe, gold with different styles (all long gowns), one sequin, one plain, and one embroidered. I’m keeping this a surprise and have just...

Can you use a different wedding website and invitation?
The Sealpups in Planning, on February 21, 2019 at 3:02 AM

For example: i’m Loving these invitations on minted (it’s a special design that’s exclusively from them) but the wedding website I would like to have it under (Zola) does not have that specialized...

Did your wedding or wedding planning changed how you viewed some of your friendships?
The Sealpups in Family and Relationships, on February 18, 2019 at 3:07 PM

I've had this friend for more than 10 years and in recent years, I could feel that we were growing apart. She seems to think we're the same person and need to be in the same stages in life & I can...

Help - my fiancé gets influenced easily by his mother & sister
The Sealpups in Planning, on February 18, 2019 at 4:57 AM

They’re both controlling by nature but his sister is more aggressive and his mother is more passive about it. Since we got engaged last year, they’ve been planting seeds in our head about what we...

Is it okay to skip the reception program?
The Sealpups in Wedding Reception, on February 17, 2019 at 6:06 PM

I'm planning to have our ceremony at church and then our reception at a venue nearby. For church, we'll definitely have programs. For the party, I'm thinking of ditching it altogether. My fiance and I...

What do you think about +1 guests for single people?
The Sealpups in Etiquette and Advice, on February 13, 2019 at 2:20 PM

My fiance & I are both family oriented - we have both of our parents side that are close to and considered inviting. I don't want this "Big fat Greek wedding" kind of party. I thought 150 was fair...

Help with wording guests for "save the dates"
The Sealpups in Planning, on February 10, 2019 at 5:32 PM

Hello! My fiance and I come from this culture where everyone in your family and their family's families are expected to be invited to a wedding. We are keeping it at 150 people (preventing a "My Big...

Where do you normally do engagement photo shoots?
The Sealpups in Community Conversations, on February 5, 2019 at 2:41 PM

I just got in touch with my photographer and he sent me links to where he's shot before. Where I'm from - our state has some of the most beautiful scenic/nature shots (mountains, trees, water,...
