Activity for Cathy

Semi rant time. My shower wound up getting canceled because no one could come (no one wanted to drive 70 miles to the hostess’ place), and the bachelorette party was canceled too because no one could come either. Meanwhile, my fiancé’s roommate (the...

What are you supposed to wear for the rehearsal dinner? We are having a semi formal sit down dinner at a steak house. Pinterest shows me nothing but white dresses, of which I don’t own any. I was thinking of a red or purple strapless, but that seems...

This may sound weird, and I don't know if this is even a "thing," but I wanted to ask. We had a custom cake topper made for our cake, and would like to have it returned after the cake is served. I have heard of caterers throwing away the cake...

Is there a way to add a photo of a venue? The name is listed, but there is no photo.

I have only my MOH, but my fiancé has the full contingent of groomsmen (4). Is there any way to make this not look silly when we walk in? It’s horribly unbalanced, and visually, I think it would look odd. Fiance originally saidbuse the groomsmen as...

Am I missing something? I want to post photos from my phone to the WW site, but the only option is to post a video,

I have an uneven bridal party--I have just my MOH (long story short: 2 BMs quit due to family emergencies, and the 3rd ditched me) , while my fiance has 4 groomsmen (Best Man, 2 adult sons, college roommate). We are doing a head table, but because of...

One of my Mom’s friends was invited, along with a plus 1; she RSVPd for 1 person. Now my Mom wants that person’s “Date” to be one of her friends whom I didn’t invite. (The Singleton and the “date” know each other). Im not OK with this at this late...

I am looking for readings related to the subjects listed above. I found one really beautiful poem that I like, (written by some blogger back in 2012, but it totally fits). The only ones I keep getting are Lindberg's "On a Beach" (which doesn't strike...

Is this a new thing? I can understand sending a thank you letter (or giving a gift) to the people who attended the wedding and brought you a gift, but thanking the vendors and giving them a gift sounds like a little much. First off, the vendors were...

So, over the last few weeks, 3 of my 4 bridesmaids bailed on me (1 had a death in the family, another's husband is having heart surgery that week, and the third just bailed in favor of her boyfriend's trade show); the bachelorette party got cancelled...

The centerpieces for the wedding are going to be handmade, but they will be incorporating things that come from my house--in particular, they will be placed on glass plates that I would like to have back because I am borrowing them. Is there a polite...

So...I am a little over 6 weeks out and so far, (a) the bachelorette party got cancelled (everyone bailed) and (b) no one is coming to the shower (15 invited;?11 said ‘no’-guests are so far me, my Mom and MOH’s mom.) i feel like I am being petty, but...

I’m ditching them. I don’t need to wast the photographer’s time on pictures of me getting dressed and made up. I haven’t even picked a hairstyle yet, and I’ll probably do my own makeup. I had my hair and makeup done for when I was MOH at my best...

My MOH sent out invitations to my shower, and out of 15 invitees, 12 said no. I think distance has a lot to do with it. MOH lives 70 miles away and most people live closer to me. I had suggested having the shower at a restaurant closer to where all...
