I'm sure this has been asked before somewhere, but I was looking on Vista Print the other day and it seems that all of their "programs" are one-sheet cards. We are getting married in a Catholic Church and while we are not having mass there are still...

FH and I got engaged in October 2011. I am a big planner. I love schedules, spreadsheets, planning events, etc. So I was on the ball right away. FH usually is too, but for some reason this entire wedding planning process has been like pulling teeth...

I am supposed to meet with my MOH this weekend. She wants to talk about planning my bridal shower to find out what I would like, not like etc. I know that I don't want a traditional shower. I am 34 and FH already own a house, so I feel kind of silly...

A lot of people we know like to munch on something while they are drinking. Not full blown appetizers, but something like peanuts or pretzels or whatever. The thing is, I'm not sure what size bowls to use for the tables? I don't want to buy 10...

How many of you are (or did) wear something at your Bachelorette party to distinguish that you were indeed a bride to be? What did you wear? I remember girls 10-15 years ago (when we were all 20-somethings) wearing veils or whatever, but I'm thinking...

First of all - before I even start - I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! The part we spent with family was awesome. The part where the CEO of the company I work for sent notice on CHRISTMAS VIA EMAIL that our company was going out of business and...

How many of you purchased your and/or your bridesmaid's jewelry online? I found the earrings I want to give my girls at Kohls, but I am having trouble finding a bracelet. I have looked all over Etsy and Ebay and haven't found anything I liked. I do...

A friend of ours designed out invites and another friend (also our photographer) thinks she may be able to print them on her super turbo professional grade printer. My only question is for those who have done their own invites - which do you think...

I have been here for about a year or so and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching every bride's wedding evolve and take different shapes over that time - especially the brides who started coming here after I did. I see a lot of new members who are "just...

Did any of you make your own hair flowers? I have a couple of peonies I bought at Hobby Lobby, but I am trying to figure out the best way to make these. Did you use a barrette or an alligator clip, or did you just cut the stems, leave a bit and stick...

Has anyone had a double-sided, custom-sized invite that they did not print themselves? Our friend is in the process of designing ours and it will have to be printed (double-sided) on 11x17 card stock and cut down to 7x17. We originally thought we...

We have a LOT of DIY projects set up for our wedding. I have a list of everything that needs to be done, but it's impossible to look at it without getting overwhelmed and freaking out. I tried to break it into sections (i.e. - guest tables, then...

We were planning on putting a photo strip with 4 of our engagement photos in them in our STD's. No matter how I try to make these, they look like total CRAP - either pixelated or blurry. I give up - I need to know where I can upload the photos and...

If so, what did they do/are they doing? My MOH has had to back out because she just found out she's pregnant and has decided she can't handle the stress of being in the WP and being pregnant. She will be 3 weeks from her due date on our wedding day...

I had been toying with the idea of using false eyelashes for my wedding. I decided to do a trial run for Halloween - thinking if I messed them up - meh - it's only a Halloween costume. I did not expect that I would LOVE the results so much! I am...
