Activity for Mrs Cheapskate

So, we have started the painstaking job of cleaning out my fhs bachelor pad condo. What a freaking mess! Lets just say we went through 2 closets and have 12 black garbage bags full of donation clothes to give to the Vets, so far. Tip of the iceberg...

Can you tell me how to book a block of rooms for my wedding? I know which hotel and assume i can do it by phone rather than going there in person? Right? What do i say? Who do i talk to? Suggestions for getting a good price? Things to avoid saying Or...

I know that people forgo many things in the wedding or reception to begin with, but what is something that you HAD or purchased that you wished you wouldnt have spent so much money on, was a stupid idea (in hindsight), or didnt get utilized/used, or...

Im not meaning to start the 2pm shit storm post either. Im not expecting anything from her, but she asked me the other day what she could help with and she's excited to do anything wedding or reception related. At the moment she asked me, I...

Im Goodwill a stalker and although I've found things to repurpose as wedding stuff, Ive never seen actual wedding stuff. I go twice a week (I have a 2 hour break between jobs, and Im 20 miles from home) to kill time. I have never seen champagne...

Whats your budget? Where are you having your wedding and reception? Where is the festivities? How many guests and wedding party are you having? Whats your vision on how it will work logistically? What did you skip for budget sake? Where did you find...

So, we went out for lunch with one of my bffs who we will cal Liz, who chose to be my personal attendant istead of a MOH, her hubby (who is very ill and we dont know if he will be well enough to attend the wedding on the day) and her 19 year old...

You may remember that my Mom didnt come to my wedding 22 years ago, when I married my late husband. She said "don't even invite us, because we wont be there". So, ironically, while talking to my Mom and StepDad this morning, they were teasing me...

So, I never wear heels anymore and cant remember how to walk in them. Ive been wearing them around the house...well, stumbling and looking stiff is a better explanation. Soooo....all you highheel wearers give this girl advice on how to walk...

My FHs brother, who is his BM, texted him this weekend about setting up his bachelor party for a Saturday in June. He asked if he wanted to golf, or go to a Twins baseball, or St Paul Saints game, or bowling, and then said they would plan on dinner...

Please bump this until she hides the original post. Thanks!

Thought this may be fun..... Nobody knows that my FH has 2 webbed toes on each foot! Lol

Is it just me, or have I just been not paying enough attention? It seems like there are so many new people here, and many ofthem have 5 stars already, and I dont recall who they are, where they are, or what their wedding plans are. Im old, but come...

As you all know, we are on a strict budget...well...because we have to be. I wanted to post this to show the other low budget brides, that you can find quality wedding things for less. Im not bragging, by any means, I would have loved to go shopping...

So, I asked 2 people to stand with me, both to be MOHs. My sister and one of my 2 best friends. My other best friend didnt want to be center of attention and asked to be my personal attendant. Out of the 3 family members that MAY HAVE attended, one,...

Have everyone seated so they didnt dispurse throughout the whole church? We arent having ushers. Should I put tuelle across all the pews except for the front 2 rows or something? That would be alot of tuelle! Its only 29 people that will be seated...
