We are having a welcome party/rehearsal dinner for our destination wedding (well, it’s a destination for everyone but my fiancé and I). It’s going to be open seating. The venue has 8 picnic tables, which seats 6 people each. Assuming 80 people, how...

For our rehearsal dinner/welcome party, we are serving pies as dessert. It won’t be the only dessert available though. I’m also placing a S’mores kit as favors at each place setting and we are having a bonfire. Each pie is 10” in diameter and I’m...

I love working with my hands and crafting and I am so excited for our pie display. I always say I’m in the wrong career haha so I’m glad the wedding is making use of my creative side. I “stained” these wooden crates I got for free on FB Marketplace...

I need some advice... Both my parents are practicing Catholics. I was raised as a Catholic, but I don't practice it anymore. For personal reasons, there are just things I don't agree with the Catholic church. I still believe in God and I do believe...

For those that have purchased Burlap Rolls by the yard, where did you find them and how much? I'm checking online prices and found $5 for 48" wide x 1 yard, but they have outrageous shipping prices. Any tips? Burlap runners are so expensive,...

Any weight lifters here? I can’t decide whether to bulk right now and cut 4-5 months before the wedding or just do maintenance for now and go back to the regular lifting cycle after the wedding. I’m just scared to bulk and not be able to cut enough...

How do you all finesse asking your bridesmaids for their sizes? I'm getting us all personalized PJs and I'm not sure how to ask them what size they wear... I know it can be a touchy subject for some. Any tips?

I'm brainstorming ideas for the favor box for my bridesmaids and maid of honor. I have some generic things in there: Pashmina Shawl (just in case they get cold for our Fall wedding), accessories for their outfits, personalized satin PJs (for getting...

I had originally budgeted $3000 for everyone’s wedding attire (including my dress, shoes, accessories). It’s customary in my culture to pay for the wedding party’s attire. I’ve been looking at Black Tux since I get some offers from David’s...

Does cocktail hour actually have to be an hour? Our ceremony is at 6:30 and our grand entrance is at 7:30. We are expecting our ceremony to be under 15 minutes long from start to finish so should end at 6:45 from procession, readings to recessional....

Our ceremony venue does not allow real petals. Before I go buy many different kinds of silk petals off Amazon and comparing them, has anyone found a specific brand of silk petals that looks realistic? I need Burgundy and Ivory.

I’m going to preface this with my least favorite wedding cost is flowers. So overpriced and you can’t even get money back by selling them to someone else. It’s literally just throwing money away. All local independent florists are quoting...

To cut cost on florals and centerpieces, I was thinking of repurposing the bridal and bridesmaid bouquets and some of the bronze lanterns used for the ceremony. We are taking our bridal pics BEFORE the ceremony and don’t really care much for having...

We are getting married in a small town where Ubers and Lyfts don’t exist. There is a taxi number, but it’s not very reliable. Our reception venue does have a lot of ample parking and maybe most people will end up staying at the reception venue (it’s...

I'm planning to have a harpist play at our ceremony. The songs I know I want played are below, but would love other song suggestions that sound amazing on the harp from those that have hired a harpist for their wedding ceremony. I'll probably need a...

Does anyone else think weddings are a complete waste of money? My fiancé and I don’t really have a budget, but I’ve created a self-imposed budget and my expectation was it was only going to cost like $30-35K. After finally researching and...
