Activity for Lauren

I don't know if I want to to both hose and Spanx, or just one. What's everyone doing? I want to be comfortable, and not feel like I'm stuffed in my dress!

Has anyone done this with their dress? If so, what were your experiences? Dress was tight in the midsection when I bought it in October, and despite eating better and exercising, it's still tight I have my first alterations appt next week, and I'm...

FH and I are trying to decide what to get our parents for gifts...and we are at a loss! Any ideas? They're both contributing to the wedding, so we want to make sure they know we appreciate it, but I literally have no idea what to get them!

I just finished labeling and addressing all my invites....took most of the day but I'm so glad it's done! Wedding is June 27, and the RSVP date is June 5. Is that too late?? I've heard the average is 3-4 weeks before wedding, but one of my friends...

I'm on the fence about them. We will have a good amount of OOT guests, but we aren't doing a hotel block because there's tons of hotels near the venue. I'm leanings towards no welcome bags because everyone will be spread out, and it may be difficult...

Is it just me, or has anyone else experienced more arguments with FH while planning a wedding? I don't know if it's just the stress of finances, or all the change, but we've argued more now than we ever did before. Nothing big or deal-breaker size,...

I budgeted way too low for hair and makeup, and I cannot justify paying what I'm seeing. I'm in the DC area, and minimums for makeup are 150 and up. A lot of them have a wedding party minimum, but since it's just my sister and I, I cannot justify...

I am starting to get stressed and overwhelmed about money and how much we are paying for everything. I'm heading to the gym soon to work off this money stress! What do you do do de-stress from wedding stuff?

We had a meeting with our partial planner today. We had a rocky start with her, but since then she's been great. She's very creative, and had a lot,of ideas to share on things that we could do at the wedding. I was so impressed with all of them! But...

I live in the DC area, and I'm getting married in northern VA. I have been trying to find a MUA for weeks, and have yet to find not that seems reasonable. Maybe I'm just being cheap! All the prices I've seen are $165 and up for trials, and...

I keep hearing it's so worth it, but it's completely not in our budget. I keep seeing prices that are $4,000 and up in my area, and that's just not feasible for us. I hope I don't regret it:0( Who is having one, and how much are they charging?...

We are looking at going to the Iberostar Grand Bavaro in Punta Cana- has anyone been there? If so, what was it like??

If you haven't heard about this, Crate and Barrel does a wedding registry event about once a month for engaged couples. They open the store 2 hours before opening time, and they give breakfast, coffee, samples of good products (like knives, plates,...

Ok so I am ready to ax my planner and get a new one, but FH says to wait. Here's the story ( I posted some of this before) 1) On July 19 she told me she would send a wedding checklist for me. Never sent it. 2) I asked her a photographer question the...
