Activity for NJ Bride

Some wedding checklists have a bridesmaid tea... what exactly is that? And how many people actually do it?

We got all our gifts the other day from Things Remembered and found fantastic items (and lots of sales!) for everyone in our bridal party except for the ring bearer... I want to have something I can engrave for him, if possible, but is still somewhat...

For our cocktail hour, we have the option between 10 passed hors d'oeuvres or 8 passed hors d'oeuvres and a mashed potato martini station. (Mashed potatoes in martini glasses that you can add toppings to.) This is in addition to a stationary...

So... I normally wear a purse with a strap 'cause I'd forget it everywhere if I didn't attach it to myself. I also only get a new purse every few years when the last one is starting to look awful. I'm obviously not into purses for the look/fashion,...

We are really, REALLY good about trying to make decisions together, but sometimes it can make things tough. We've been looking for probably a year now for a bedding set (linens/comforter) that we can agree on. You'd think it wouldn't be that hard - I...

We are asking almost everyone to travel... possibly up to 70 welcome bags are going to need to be made. I'm already getting a local map for free and hopefully will be able to collect coupons/menus from the area, but I'd love some ideas for...

So... I have a short list (15ish) of people that I'd REALLY like to invite but we just can't afford to unless other people say no. Has anyone else invited people from their B list? How'd you handle it? When did you get back "No" RSVPs? We're nervous...

So I just got back from an afternoon wedding and my FH and I thought that the flow was terrible. The bride and groom weren't introduced, we had our entire dinner before they had their first dance, people only danced a few songs, etc. I have been to...

We applied for our marriage license today! Though please tell me why the application is valid for 6 months after you turn it in but you can't pick up the license itself more than 30 days before the ceremony. (Apparently it's only valid for 30 days.)...

So our reception venue has changed their menu. When we first booked, we were told we would have the option between the new and old menu if it did change. All our contract says is "See Classic Wedding Package" under the menu section. (I can't find...

My venue does a tasting night every few months for upcoming weddings and ours is this week - Wednesday! (I'm a little pissed that they never do it on a weekend since we moved out of the area, but there's not much I can do at this point.) Anyway, any...

So... I'm looking for a strapless bra that covers my stomach (I'm forgetting the official name right now) that doesn't poke out when you sit down. I want it to have at least a little pull in around the stomach and I need support up top. (I'm a...

So we just received some sample scripts from our minister. We are getting married in a church, but we are different denominations. We're both religious but have strong opinions, so we're trying to find a good script that includes religion without it...

My wedding is in Sept and I'm REALLY pale - it will take me a significant amount of time this summer (with sunscreen or I'll just burn and peel) in the sun to get any sort of color at all. I don't want to have awkward tan lines with a strapless...
