3818 days agoI ran the numbers last night, and it looks like we are going to be around 2-3K short of what we need by the wedding. We had some unexpected expenses come up that set us back. So, I'm now trying to figure out ways to cut costs for the wedding and...

3835 days agoFH and I are going to Bed, Bath, and Beyond tomorrow night to finish our registry. I signed in tonight to look at it and see what else we really need to add to the registry, and I'm now suffering from sticker shock. I don't remember the sheets we...

3835 days agoWhat are your expectations of a "Day of" Coordinator? FH and I are leaning heavily towards having one, especially since we can't get into our venue until 10 AM the day of the wedding (they booked the night before us). I asked a friends wife if she...

3845 days agoIs there an easy way to get a household count from the WW Guest List? I'm trying to figure out how many invitations we actually need to order, and I see a guest count but I don't see a way to get a household count (unless I do it manually). We added...

3865 days agoFH and I were talking the other day, and he wanted me to ask this. Is it strange to have a former partner in the bridal party? FH has asked an ex-girlfriend to be one of his grooms people for our wedding next April. We are all in our 30's and they...

3875 days agoI'm going tomorrow morning for a cut, and need to figure out if I just want a trim, or something shorter. I normally cut my hair to somewhere between my chin and shoulders. The length it is now drives me nuts, and I refuse to grow my hair out to...

3877 days agoWe booked our wedding/reception for a Sunday, they are being held at the same location. The venue told us that as long as no one booked Saturday, we could come in and decorate the night before at no additional fee. Fantastic! Until a week ago, when I...

3890 days agoThere are a few bridal shows coming up in the next three months. I know that if I ask my Mom, she will attend with me. How many of you took your FH with you, when you went? I know that the bakery we plan on using will be there, and that they will...

3890 days agoAs of last night, I was able to get everything that was showing as "past due" checked off on the Wedding Wire Checklist! So far, things are running right on time. Does anyone else feel like they are WAY behind where they SHOULD be at this point...

3924 days agoHow many colors did you have set as "official" colors in your wedding scheme? We were going to use navy blue, royal blue, and gray as ours, but I'm not feeling the royal blue as much. I'm debating on adding another color (or colors) to things, but...
