If you had family flying in from other ends of the country/world the night before the wedding when all the VIPs (immediate family, wedding party) are in the middle of rehearsal/dinner, how did you arrange to have them picked up? My mom simply...

I'm trying to focus on the positives, but can't help but feel so sad, defeated, and really embarrassed. We are having a relatively large wedding - inviting about 190 people. So far a ton of people have RSVPed yes - many of whom we thought wouldn't...

Curious as to number of people on your guest list, how many RSVPed Yes, then No, and of those who RSVPed "Yes", how many didn't show? How did you deal with those? I would be so hurt and also angry I spent all that money on them for them to not show!...

71 Days left and SOO much to do! HALP! What is the typical order of speeches? Does the groom ACTUALLY give a speech these days? I either wasn't paying close-enough attention or have forgotten the speeches at other weddings, but I can't remember!!...

I know to of course get bridesmaids some really nice gifts to be given at rehearsal dinner or morning of the wedding, but was wondering about other gifts. At the last wedding I was in, for her shower that we threw, she gave us small gifts (i think...

Trying to make sure we get gifts for everyone who should be getting one! For parents, are we each supposed to get parents gifts from both of us together or separately? So I mean - am I supposed to get my mom, dad, fmil, ffil a gift from me and then...

Kindof a sad subject - but it's reality for some of us! Trying to make the best of a difficult situation. I'm less than 3 months away now, and unfortunately I have a condition that puts me in extreme (I mean, unimaginable, excruciating,...

Okay so, trying to get this right. I've had some of the most generous guests send over gifts for my bridal shower who won't be able to attend. I've been writing out Thank yous to everyone for every gift (obv). My question is - if I'm texting or...

One of my bridesmaids graciously sent out all of my bridal shower invitations. She sent my Great Aunt an invitation where two letters of her last name where transposed. My bridesmaid's return address was on the invitation. My aunt sent my mom a...

Okay here's the situation. There is a family friend, let's call her Jane. Jane is the mother of my brother's and sister's very best friend of over 20 years - he is family to us. Obviously he (let's call him Joe) is invited along with his GF. Jane...

Of course every regular guest's spouse is invited - do I invite the pastor we hired's wife? We haven't worked with him at all before (nor do we go to his church). He will be driving maybe 1.5 or 2 hours from his home. I'm happy to invite her, I just...

My Sister/MOH is pregnant and I'm so excited!! I gave her a month of space before asking about the dress situation - the dress she got originally has no room for a bump. She will be 5 months along by the time the wedding comes - it's hard to say how...

Okay so we hired a photographer that we loved - we did engagement pictures with her even though we had done professional pictures a year prior because we wanted to get to know her better and get comfortable. Overall we felt very comfortable being...

Okay, here's the scoop. I totally am on board with the whole, "you must follow a save the date with an invitation" in almost all circumstances (exceptions might be that your venue catches fire and they can no longer accommodate the same number of...

Ah! My MOH/sister has told me she is pregnant and I'm SO excited. This will be the first grandchild/first niece or nephew, etc. Baby is due in late December/early January (maybe a New Years baby? She wants it this year for a tax break haha). Anyway,...
