Jacked up hair/make-up prices?
wadergirl in Wedding Attire, on June 27, 2012 at 10:24 AM

Can someone explain to me? Because I honestly just don't get it. How the price changes at a salon between a regular formal or updo style, and a bridal style? I -kind of- understand the addition of...

How to list parents and escorts on wedding program?
wadergirl in Etiquette and Advice, on August 30, 2012 at 11:49 PM

My FI's side is easy... His parents have been together for more than 50 years. My side, however, gets sticky... My dad, who I am not close with, will be attending, but not in the procession. Should I...

wadergirl in Etiquette and Advice, on July 30, 2012 at 9:54 PM

Ok, 2 questions: First, if we don't have an inner envelope, per se, but a pocket fold card, should we be treating it the same way as an inner envelope and writing names on the outside of the card? If...

So the FI and I have been discussing asking his 18 yo godson to be our ringbearer. He would not be escorting the flower girls, but bringing the rings into the ceremony (a more refined attitude on the...

My better half has said that he will be okay with me spending up to $800 towards the dress (and alterations, etc). Because of our very limited budget, I'd like to keep it under $300...
