Please be sensitive and thank you in advance for your help I am getting married in 24 days and will be going on my honeymoon to Mexico just a few days afterwards. I know this is a Zika-affected area....

How the heck am i supposed to dress 7 men in 3 different outfits and still look cohesive?
Victoria in Wedding Attire, on February 18, 2019 at 3:11 PM

So, let's break this down... the current bane of my existence: Bridal Party Outfits. For reference, we do not have a ring bearer or flower girl. The girls (4 bridesmaids)... floor length plum dresses...

Waiting before the honeymoon?
Victoria in Honeymoon, on January 21, 2019 at 11:16 AM

I had some friends recommend waiting a week to go on the honeymoon for things to calm down. While logistically, it makes sense (time to breathe after the wedding, opening gifts, visit with out of town...

Victoria in Honeymoon, on January 21, 2019 at 4:23 PM

Tipping
Victoria in Etiquette and Advice, on September 11, 2018 at 10:26 AM

I booked my venue at a small town community Arts Center and have been working with the center manager. When the wedding comes, is it customary to tip the venue manager? Do you tip every vendor the...

Honeymoon Affordability Minus Zika
Victoria in Honeymoon, on November 15, 2018 at 11:56 AM

Ok. I want to go on a honeymoon, right? And spending over 5k makes me think of death, right? I also want to TTC shortly after my Sept 2019 wedding (we're 30, own our home, have our careers... we're...

Weight Loss
Victoria in Fitness and Health, on November 11, 2018 at 5:27 PM

Everyone wants to lose for the big day... me too (and create livelong changes to be healthy). How did you do it? I feel like I start, see no improvement, and give up... like... if I don't cut out...

Bridesmaids help
Victoria in Planning, on November 2, 2018 at 12:16 PM

Sorry for the undoubtedly long-winded post. In short-- I don't know what to do as far as bridesmaids. My groom has 5 on his side. I know they don't HAVE to be even but I'd like them to be. Extra...

Un-asking a bridesmaid?
Victoria in Planning, on November 4, 2018 at 9:14 AM

Is there any way to UN-ask a friend to be a bridesmaid? I know it sounds terrible but I asked her RIGHT after I got engaged and was super excited. She was a friend from work that I grew close to...

Choosing Bridesmaids Etiquette
Victoria in Etiquette and Advice, on October 8, 2018 at 10:27 AM

So. I have a friend (we'll call her friend 2) that I met through another sort-of friend (we'll call her friend 1). Technically, we all met because all of our significant others work together but I've...

How many caterers did you try?
Victoria in Wedding Reception, on September 30, 2018 at 3:36 PM

I have sort of a two-part question... 1) If you have the option to choose your own caterer, how many caterers would set up a tasting with? (I know they generally charge per person for a tasting). 2)...

Children in Guest Count
Victoria in Wedding Reception, on September 30, 2018 at 3:19 PM

What is the rule of thumb for children being included in guest count? For example, I think it would be a bit unreasonable to count a 6-month old as a "person" in terms of handing a number to the...

Ushers
Victoria in Wedding Ceremony, on September 24, 2018 at 10:11 AM

Would it be odd to have two male ushers ages 13 and 30? My little brother will be 13 (almost 14) and I'm not sure how else to incorporate him into the wedding...

Where the heck does everyone sit and why does this require so much brain power?
Victoria in Wedding Reception, on September 18, 2018 at 5:02 PM

I'm torn between options for head table seating... there will be 8 in the bridal party and 13 including all of their significant others. Then... I have a really overbearing mother who thinks she...
