Activity for Alexandra

FH has been having a SUPER hard time with finding tuxes. He has a broad, athletic build which makes a good fit surprisingly hard to come by. We went to Men’s Wearhouse - annoying because you can’t try anything on and the salespeople are useless. We...

I’m off of work today in observance of MLK Day and definitely taking advantage of the time for wedding planning! Goals for today are ordering our invitations, finalizing the cake design with our baker, and making our follow-up floral design...

Do I have a story for you! So my mom calls me this afternoon to tell me that my Macy’s registry shows our wedding date as 6/1/19 instead of 6/2/19. This is the *fourth* time this has happened since we registered in August, so I just sigh and head...

I just got off the phone with the seamstress my bridal salon recommends and am trying to figure this whole bustling thing out. The skirt of my dress is soft netting and tulle with a poly lining. When I purchased the dress, I the consultant showed me...

FH and I just got back from our food tasting (omg it was delicious ) where we also had the opportunity to meet with our venue’s preferred bakery and try cakes!! We decided on two flavor combos: chocolate cake with mint chocolate chip buttercream and...

Long post alert! Sorry!! Need to vent... My FH has a large family (4 grandparents, 10 aunts/uncles, 11 first cousins, a bunch of second cousins, etc, etc, etc). My family is tiny (1 grandparent, 2 aunts/uncles, 2 first cousins, a handful of second...

I had been thinking about personalized shot glasses, but the more I read through the forums... it's becoming clear that people don't really want "tchotchke" favors. Makes perfect sense. We've budgeted for them, so I don't mind spending the money, but...

My fiancé and I spent the morning of Thanksgiving with his parents and sister watching the parade, the afternoon (AKA alllll the food) with my extended family, and the evening with his extended family (after some early Black Friday shopping, of...

We have a shuttle included with our hotel room block, but it only fits 13 people. It’ll work great on the way back from the venue to the hotel (it will run continuously for a few hours, from the end of the reception through the after party). Our...
