My MOH offered to do the invitation for my shower. I sent her all of the info nearly a month ago. I sent her a message on Mother's Day and she asked if she should do them soon. I told her that they...

How soon is too soon...

To make bird seed toss bags? I'm just trying to outline to-do's for the next few months and I really want as few projects as possible the week or two before the wedding. Thoughts?

So, I'm one of those people who is driven insane by certain noises. One sound that I hate is the sound of people chewing their gum like cows. I don't get it. Why do people think it is even remotely ok...

No center aisle
Yourlilfig in Planning, on May 9, 2016 at 4:21 PM

We are getting married in a church that doesn't have a center aisle. Its pews, aisle, pews, aisle, pews. We're having a small wedding, so we're going to keep people as centered as possible and toward...

As I read through posts about gifts for the wedding party, it seems that I feel like we have to spend waaaay more than we really do. We have a MOH, Best Man, and one usher, so I feel like it leaves us...

Hair trial!
Yourlilfig in Wedding Attire, on April 29, 2016 at 4:46 PM

Does only the bride have a hair trial or do other members of the wedding party? (flower girls, bridesmaids, etc)

Double digits! I'm so excited. We have nearly finished planning, it's just minor details now! I think the biggest things I have left are to send the invites and deal with RSVPs, have my hair trial,...

NWR:Birthday Surprise!
Yourlilfig in Community Conversations, on April 26, 2016 at 10:42 PM

So I'm turning 30 in the beginning of May and I had really wanted a party. Unfortunately, FH is a CPA and life is insane for us through mid April and then my Mom was out of the country and he felt too...

BBQ
Yourlilfig in Planning, on April 25, 2016 at 1:38 PM

So, we're having our reception at Dinosaur BBQ. We had decided we wanted ribs, brisket, and marinated grilled chicken. FH's family gave us a ton of grief about having to wear suit/vest/tie to a bbq...

Yourlilfig in Etiquette and Advice, on April 23, 2016 at 6:57 PM

Would it be better to have the officiant make the announcement or have the usher mention it as people come in? Or both? I wasn't going to make a big deal about it, but then I was thinking about FBIL's...

So, the first summer we lived in our house, we had problems with a girl down the street. Come to find out the girl has serious mental health issues and lives in an environment that isn't conducive to...

What's the silliest, *smh* thing you have done while planning?
Yourlilfig in Community Conversations, on April 20, 2016 at 7:05 PM

I have been waiting for a package to arrive that I never actually ordered. I couldn't find the shipping info and it just kept not showing up. *sigh* lol

I'm so excited about our wedding bands, I just had to share I absolutely love that FH wants to wear his. (He doesn't, but he wants to!) He keeps looking at it and putting it on. I can't wait for our...

I had no idea....
Yourlilfig in Community Conversations, on April 17, 2016 at 8:29 PM

I have learned so much from this forum! I had no idea that there were so many rules. I was telling my mom that I was going to pay for my MOH hair (my MOH said she's always paid for her own hair/make...

Does anyone else hate playing games at showers?
Yourlilfig in Etiquette and Advice, on April 14, 2016 at 6:06 PM

I really hate playing games at these things. I have terrible social anxiety and it really makes me feel uncomfortable. That, and most are really corny. I'm invited to a baby shower next month and...

Has anyone had eyelash extensions?
Yourlilfig in Wedding Attire, on April 12, 2016 at 2:05 PM

I'm thinking about doing them instead of traditional false lashes. They're pricey, so if anyone has any experience with them I'd love to hear it!
