Activity for HowCo Industries

I'm ok! Nobody was hurt! The car was paid for and I had dropped comprehensive and gone with basic liability, so, it's either a big repair bill or buying a new car. It's a lot. The car, some expensive dental work I need and a wedding. I may have to...

My mother has offered to host the party at her home, but we're going to take care of planning it. I'm thinking of using an engagement photo for the invites, but i feel like there's a surprising lack of options. (A ton of great wedding and shower...

They're giving away a photo magnet today!

I'm planning a reception in the park. Renting a large shelter and moving out picnic tables to bring in rented tables and chairs with nice linens and having string lights done. Sweet, fun, not very formal. The park's rules are pretty liberal. They...

We went to our appointment at BB&B to register yesterday and it was great fun! We registered for all sorts of useful and fun stuff. The FH has long worked in the coffee industry, so along with a new pour over system (our favorite coffee at home)...

My sister finally got back to me today. She spoke to our father and wanted to congratulate us. Then, because they are our VIP guests coming from the longest distance, I asked about which weekend in May of next year is best. Or even April or June if...

Did anyone have their engagement announced in their local paper? Part of me feels like there's something really sweet about it and wants to do it. What was your experience if you did?

So, last night I'm looking over our budget and how much is allocated to what. I realized that there was not a lot for grooms clothing. "Honey, will $96 be enough to buy you wedding clothes?" "Well, I'll need about $400 for a suit. I...

A good friend likes to give her photography services as a wedding gift and we've asked if she could do our engagement photos since we want her to be able to relax as a wedding guest. She has a lovely portfolio and one or two sites she prefers but I'd...

I feel like I have a good vision of everything else. I mean, it's a year out and things might change, but I'm starting from somewhere. What are you all planning? What's the trend on the horizon?

We have about 8 weeks during which we'd like to have our wedding. Our preferred venue is unaffiliated with our preferred caterer and right now they're both wide open for that time period. I'm sure they won't be for long, though! Memorial Day weekend...

We're having our reception at a park shelter and I'm really excited! We'll need a lot of rentals and I'm thinking about what I'll need setup where. A few years ago I was at an engagement party where they had set up a lovely smoking area away from the...

First, I'm very excited! I got a quote from our preferred caterer for dinner (there will likely be other caterers for hor d'oeuvres and desserts) and went to look at our top venue pick with a critical eye. The venue is great, the caterer is...

We took the dog to the park to check out some of thes shelters we're considering and I'm thrilled! My only concern is that the best option (on the water, fireplace, big beautiful grill for s'mores) has a big sand volleyball court. That can be covered...

I had been planning on a small wedding party, with really just my sister as MOH and the FH's best man. My sister lives in Brooklyn and I'm in Charleston, SC where we'll be having our wedding. A couple of weeks ago I went with my mother to a bridal...
