2767 days agoEvery now and then, I completely freak out over the logistics of my wedding. I've written here before and some have commented on how "not streamlined" this is, but I'm trying. Essentially, my hotel block and my reception venue are less than 5 minutes...

2769 days agoI just applied for an after school program that runs January-June for the many refugee children that my district serves. It would be GREAT money, a lot more breathing room in these last crazy final 5-ish months. It will also make for very long days...

2772 days agoI didn't want to hijack the other blusher thread, but I do plan to wear one. My question is: I've seen it lifted after the father walks her, kisses her cheek, etc. but I've also seen it before bride and groom kiss. Opinions on when it should be?...

2774 days agoI know the rule of thumb for BM gifts is to make them less wedding-related and more "just something like a bday gift". But- I have not exchanged gifts with anyone outside of immediate family in years. I don't want to do robes, engraved glasses,...

2783 days agoUnder the 6 month mark! Yippee! So my question today deals with bridal showers and distance. My FH and I live in California. All of our family and friends are back on east coast. I think my bridal party is trying to coordinate a shower for sometime...

2787 days agoHi everyone. TGIF- for real!!!! I am trying to purchase a few of the little accessories this month (toasting flutes, cake server, etc) so I looked around cake toppers but my FH doesn't care for any particular one and I don't have my heart set on one...

2788 days agoWhere do I even begin? I'm 6 months from the big day and I just want to curl into a ball and cry. Everything is deposited. Pretty much the only thing I haven't booked is a cake and a HMUA. Everything is planned and laid out but I'm stressed to the...

2791 days agoThe picture here shows the grooms cake I'd like to surprise my FH with. I've spoken with a baker who can make the cake, I've found some "sugar" balls to add and we can find some plastic pieces to embellish, but with the copyright, the baker isn't too...

2793 days agoTwo people last night casually suggested we "run away" and get married. No...no. And no! Some background: my whole family is invited but my mom is an only child and dad is one of 3. Mine is a relatively small family. FH's family on the other...

2796 days agoPardon the grainy cell picture. This is a veil I've fallen for but the Etsy owner is not currently offering an add-on option for a blusher which I want. Does anyone know who or how I could add the blusher? Or should I find another veil? I am not...

2796 days agoWedding is just about 6 months away, deposits done, most big things done. And now...being a teacher, I have reason to believe my job is in jeopardy (probably for NEXT school year ...I think this year is ok). Raising class sizes from 25 to 30 means I...

2797 days agoI want to invite my officiant to the rehearsal dinner, but do I need to invite her husband too? I know everyone else (BP/immediate family) will have spouses and SOs invited. Wasn't sure about this and I don't know if she typically declines or accepts...

2800 days agoI'm so giddy! A friend of mine just offered to host a shower for me in Atlanta (where I'm from and location of wedding). My MOH has been talking also about doing one that would be more up north in NJ/NY/PA area because FH's family is from there as...

2805 days agoIs April 8 a good RSVP date for a April 29 event? I have to read my contract but I'm pretty sure the headcount is due April 15...so I wanted to give a few days just in case. Especially since that 15-16 weekend is tax day and Easter Sunday.

2807 days agoThis is NOT my hair and makeup trial. I just happen to have an event tonight and I feel worse than when I walked in the salon. Someone please tell me I'm not being bridezilla and that this hair/makeup did not warrant the $115 I just spent? I-...
