Activity for Eleanor

I've decided to book the first DJ I interviewed. I know you're supposed to interview at least a couple but I just don't have the energy for it. I've looked at a lot of websites to compare prices. This company is super affordable, I really clicked...

Over the holidays I handed out some of my save the dates to family members to save on stamps and almost everyone said "I already saved the date. I don't need one." They meant well but I kept thinking, I already bought these, you're taking one! I...

I had a phone consultation with a photographer last night and it went really well. It was my first time talking to a photographer so I was nervous. The one thing I'm a little iffy on is that they put a clause in the contract saying you can only put...

I reserved a hotel block today and realized it would save my guests all of 20-25 dollars. Except senior citizens and AAA members who would only save 2-5 dollars. It's the thought that matters, I suppose.

Has anyone not been introduced at the reception? I always think the introductions are a little awkward. I'm definitely not having the bridal party introduced but I'd like to get away without me and FH being introduced either. Is there a smooth way to...

Having a phone meeting with a DJ tomorrow. Any suggestions for what to ask him? I know all the basic package info but I also want to ask some questions that will give me an idea of his style etc.

I got my 5th star! So psyched!

In the spirit of thanksgiving, who are you thankful for in regards to your wedding? I'm very thankful for my mom and her cousin for basically handling all decorations and my FH for keeping my crazy at bay.

So I'm thinking of hiring a violinist or something to play during the ceremony. I was just going to go to a local community college and put up a flyer to save some money. Has anyone done this? Were you happy with it or do you wish you'd gone with a...

Http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/02/hobby-lobby-jewish-boycott-steve-green_n_4032295.html I already refuse to shop there but this doesn't help. Not saying everyone else should have the same feelings I do but I'd thought I'd share since I think...

Tomorrow I am having my bridesmaids and a few other people over to my mom's house for brunch to say thank you for all the help they will or have already given me. I'm very excited! It'll be a chance for everyone to meet everyone and talk. I'm...

Just received news that one of bridesmaids is getting deployed. We don't have exact dates but it's very likely she won't be able to make it. Obviously I'm not angry or annoyed, just sad. I'm trying to be as upbeat as possible when I talk to her...

I often hear people suggest putting up flyers for a photographer at a local college. Has anyone actually done this? Did it save a lot? Was it worth it?

I have 6 and he has 4. This doesn't bother me. I think it will look fine. However, I was thinking it might be kind of cool if instead of girls by me and boys by him, we mixed it up. On each side it would go BM, GM, BM, GM, BM. Thoughts?

It seems like everything I read says something different about when to send STDs. When did/will you send yours? What have been your experiences?

So I really want to bake mini pumpkin muffins for my favors. I puree my own pumpkins every year and I always get compliments on my recipes. They're delicious and I like the idea of a homemade, edible favor that incorporates a little bit of my...
