My FMIL still asks me to call her "Mrs. ____" I do think that even when we're married she'll want this. I mean, it's not like she's super formal- her 8 year old neighbor calls her Maryann. But to me, she's explicitly said to call her mrs. _____ . My...

Is there a rule of thumb or recommendation for how much to register for? We are having a shower (about 30 people probably) and about 300 guests at the wedding--- is it done based on how much the wedding costs? or is there a set amount per person?...

Hi all- I am debating whether to wear my glasses for the engagement shoot. I normally wear them at work, but not out, since I really only need them for up close reading. Are they more likely to mess up pictures with their glare? Or does it not...

Hi all- I think i read somewhere that you're supposed to "wear the appropriate undergarments for your dress fitting" but what the heck are the appropriate undergarments? I mean, what are my options? I know there are some "body sucker" thingies I've...

Hi all- just wondering what some good hairstyles for engagement pictures are. I have fairly generic hair: brown, medium wavy, just past my shoulders. I almost always wear it up, but want to do something different for the pictures. Are there pictures...

Just wondering how long before the wedding the bridal shower and bachelorette party are supposed to be? Most of my bridesmaids are out of town, and I was wondering if maybe combining a bridal shower and bachelorette party weekend would make sense?...

So, who gets a "save the date"? What I mean is, if there are adult kids that live at home, do they get a separate one sent to the same address? What about if they are in college? Are they included in the "and family" part of an invite? or do they get...

Hi all-- it seems that there are big planning times and times where you just sort of wait around. For those who are a little more ahead of me, I know that at the beginning there is a TON to do: venue, florist, photographer, band/DJ, videographer,...

Hi all--- I heard that unless you're going with a chain like J. Crew or David's Bridal, you're supposed to order all the dresses from the same store at the same time to avoid slight differences in color between dye lots. Is that true? Or is that just...

Hi all --- my dress is strapless and I, like many women, have little fat pockets (not the proper term) like in my armpits. I know a strapless dress has to be tight in the waist to stay up, but does having the dress sit higher up help with hiding the...

Hi all--- I am second guessing so many decisions I made about the wedding now that things have slowed down, and biggest of all is my dress. Don't get me wrong, I love the dress and it is being customed designed for me (I loved the front of this dress...

Hi all! --- I know that "diet and exercise" and the best ways to lose weight, obviously. But I'm just wondering if anyone had any other ideas in addition to those that have worked/ are working for them, like Atkins, South beach, supplements, etc. I...

Just looking for a good place for a cheap flower girl dress. I mean, she's going to grow out of it so spending $100 on the dress seems silly to me. Anyone have ideas for reputable on-line places or stores that would have a nice, formal, white...

Hi everyone- my sister got engaged about 4 months after me, and promised me her wedding would be a year after mine. She just moved the date up to 3 months after my wedding and I am pissed and thinking about asking her to not be my maid of honor: she...

Just wondering if people had experience with what percentage of people actually show up to a wedding. About 50% of the guests are out of town, so we're not sure what to expect and don't want to invite too many people! Anyone have any experience or a...
