So my MOH just texted me (not sure why she would even tell me this - but I'm glad she did) that she wasn't planning on throwing me a shower because one of the bridesmaids told her that the mother is supposed to throw a big shower." Now, if I've...

I am getting married where my parents live and where FH and I grew up, which is 3 hours away from where I live. SO, meeting with vendors is a hard task and I try to squeeze as many wedding-planning events in as possible on the days I'm in town. I...

I have changed my mind about our menu SO many times!!! At first my venue convinced me to do a cocktail style with heavy appetizers, but after reading these forums, I've decided that a full dinner would be a better fit. Now my question is - plated or...

Originally we decided not to invite kids to our wedding. I think I mainly did this because it will probably be a crazy night with lots of drinking/dancing and I assumed my family members with kids wouldn't want their kids there. The only kids that...

2 months ago, I scheduled a cake tasting in the city where my wedding is (keep in mind - I live 3 hours away) at a bakery I had heard great things about. The bakery required us to pay $60 for the tasting. Not sure if that's normal or not, but...

Hey peeps! Is anyone else having (or even been to) a cocktail style reception (passed apps/stations)?? We are wanting to have one just to encourage mingling among the guests, to allow more time for dancing, and to be a little different. Opinions? Is...

We are getting married at a vineyard that is basically in the middle of nowhere. We have tons of out of town guests that will be staying in a hotel about 15 minutes away. I would love to be able to offer them a shuttle service to and from the hotel....

Is there a point of having a garter if you don't do a garter toss? I've never really understood the point of a garter. The only thing I can think of is for pictures? What's your opinion?

So my fiancé's mom keeps asking me what I want her to wear at the wedding. My bridesmaids are wearing a very pale pink dress and the groomsmen are wearing black tuxes. Our color scheme is blush (when I say blush...I mean so light pink that it's...

So my mom bought us tickets to a bridal expo a while ago that's at the end of this month. However, since then, we have booked all of our vendors except for a videographer. So my question is, is there any point in going since we've already booked...

What's been your most favorite and least favorite part of planning so far??? My favorite was registering and will hopefully be cake tasting next weekend! Least favorite is budgeting and trying to please everyone (Parents and bridesmaids) !!

Hey everyone! It's been a while! So my fiancé and I are about halfway to our wedding date! We just booked his pastor as our officiant, and he told us that he requires 5 sessions of pre-marital counseling. I'm all about some counseling, but does 5...

Those of you who have already ordered invitations..... who do you suggest/not suggest? I'm not trying to spend a fortune but also don't want the invitations to look cheap. Looking for a happy medium I guess? I want really traditional. Not too busy. I...

How do I create a place on my wedding website (created through wedding wire) where people can request a song?? SO sorry if this has already been asked but I have searched and can't find anything to specifically answer this question.

So it turns out we can save literally $5,000 (!!!!) if we do heavy passed hors devours instead of a plated dinner or buffet. I'm definitely trying to make this happen!! However, my fiancé and I and my parents and I can not agree if there...

So I have 7 bridesmaids and originally my parents (paying for the whole wedding) were cool with paying for hair and makeup for me and my girls. However I've gotten quotes from a few stylists and it's all about 100 bucks a person. There's no way I'm...
