Activity for CBW

Has anyone else had some of their invites take FOREVER to reach their destination? I mailed all of my invitations at the same time- three weeks ago today. Most guests are within a 60 mile radius, several out of state. A few people got theirs within a...

What do you call FFILs new wife? FSMIL? She is the only source of stress/drama/entertainment in our wedding so we can't really complain, but... FSMIL is very rich, and clearly out of touch with the peasants. She's nice enough, and I know her heart is...

Reading some posts about assigning seats, I started thinking about our tables. We are planning to use rectangular 8' tables rather than round (backyard wedding, and the longer tables allow us to fit more people into the space). We haven't finalized...

This may seem silly, but is there a glitch with the WW guest list? How do I go about checking off that invitations were sent on the "overview" list? When I try to click on the individual circles, nothing happens. I checked off "send invitations" on...

I'm planning to make a card box out of a pet carrier. We are expecting about 240 guests (100 families). How big a box do I need? Is there a calculator available somewhere for this? The small size pet carrier is 20"x 13" x 11". That seems plenty big...

My mom and sister own a cupcake business, and they are doing a cupcake tree for our wedding. My mom has been hounding me about what flavors we want, and this week I finally decided.. opinions? (June wedding FYI) 1) dark chocolate with fresh...

Hi all! Do I add a plus one for invitees that we know are single and not dating anyone? I'm including "and guest" for everyone that we know is married or in a moderately serious relationship, but we have several friends and relatives that we know are...

Our original plan for the wedding was ceremony at 5pm, cocktail hour 5:30-6:15ish while we do pictures, dinner around 6:30 followed by reception. The wedding is in our backyard, and we are expecting about 250 guests. To avoid pissing off the...

I've literally never had anything altered in my life. It's time to find a seamstress and take in my dress for alterations... How do you go about choosing a seamstress? Is it normal to meet with several ahead of time just to get a feel for them and...

We are having an outdoor wedding and a buffet-style BBQ dinner provided by a local butcher shop. We are expecting around 240-250 guests. We plan to buy disposable dishes, flatware, and glasses and paper napkins for the wedding. Is there a calculator...

Hi all, I'm trying to think of ideas for our card box that are unique, and I keep coming back to a pet carrier. I'm a veterinarian, and FH and I are big into our pets (3 dogs and 7 cats), and our big dogs are ring bearers and GoPro videographers, so...

My MOH (my sister) and one of my bridesmaids (my best friend) both live in Illinois, and I'm in NH. FH and I decided from the beginning that we wanted to do a combined bachelor/bachelorette party. We were thinking we'd do something separate during...

I realize it may be overused, but FH and I have been drawn to an "initials carved in a tree" theme. It's on our invites, cake topper, and guest book. We are having a backyard wedding (our own yard), and we have a huge oak tree (as in, 100ft or...

Our wedding is in our back yard, and we are expecting over 200 guests. We have been trying to figure out how to handle parking with that many cars. We live in a small neighborhood and street parking might get ugly with that many cars, so we are...
