How far in advance do you contact/pick out your decorations if going through a rental company?

Switching gears from focusing on myself and the ladies of our wedding to focus on the fellas. The more I look around, the more I don’t like the look of a vest as part of their get-up. To me, it screams, “high school prom date who removed his jacket...

What is everyone’s opinion on renting vs buying decorations? I’m buying a few things because a friend of mine got married and is getting rid of things for a good price. But I’m definitely not opposed to renting. The cons of renting: sometimes it’s...

Hi all, Has anyone bought templates for invites, menus, and/or programs off of Etsy and then printed them yourself (at a local print shop or on a website such as print runner)? If so was the cost comparable to straight out buying invites off of sites...

Hi everyone, I might regret this, but I'm seeking your opinion on the reception menu. We only have a choice of 5 preferred vendors and we have chosen a pretty well known, but local, Italian restaurant. They have a decent amount of options and the...

Advice on the etiquette and wording to cancel on a vendor? Thanks!

Just wondering when y’all began creating your registries. The checklist is telling me to do it now but I’m still 8 months out so I’m hesitant to gather a bunch of stuff that may be discontinued or something by the time people actually see my...

I’ve worked at my job a long time. I love all my coworkers (I only work with 7 other people). I already finalized my guest list and am inviting all of them. One of the girls quit. She was replaced recently - and I’m talking 3 weeks recently. Her...

Who’s used Etsy for their invitations? Did you use a template and print your own or order prints? Pics appreciated!

Hey all, when did you schedule your trials? I already know who I'm going to book. The checklist I'm following says to book my trials this month, but that seems really early to me since I'm 8 months out. I still don't really have a "look" in mind....

Where did you have things printed: Staples, UPS, FedEx, Walmart, Walgreens, etc.? I found it's cheaper to print my own invitations and programs for the style I want. Of course, I want good quality, though. Suggestions and pictures appreciated!

Hey all, I was curious about when you're sending out STD/invites and what is considered too early. My wedding is about 8 months away. But I recently got a coupon for 50% off on Shutterfly which expires at the end of this year (which is next month -...
