4659 days agoI'm still somewhat in the midst of negotiating our reception contract and I'm getting an awakening of a lifetime. I chose to do private dining at a restaurant instead of renting a reception hall because I thought all I had to pay for was food, drink,...

4659 days agoJust recently I gotta wake-up call on this whole "wedding planning" thing. We've only got 9 months left!! I'll admit, I've been dragging my feet waiting for ideas to slap me in the face and for my binder to magically organize itself, but apparently...

4671 days agoI was told recently that when deciding on your guest list consider that 10% - 15% of those guests won't show. So if we're looking forward to a 75 person head count we should probably invite anywhere from 90 -85. While this theory makes sense on paper...

4673 days agoHas anyone ever done one and why are they so damn expensive. I wanted to treat my BM's to a mani/pedi day at a day spa, but everything seems so over priced ($125 per person). It almost seems more affordable to just go to the local nail salon...

4674 days agoI was hired about a month ago by my guitarist to sing at his brother's wedding. The wedding is Friday (7/12/13) and my band and I have been practicing our butts off to get this set down. We're playing for only 45 to 50 minutes and the bride and groom...

4675 days agoWhen you try to pick-out your BM's dresses for them. With all 6 of my girls living out of state I had no clue as to how to pick a dress that everyone would love without seeing them in it first. So, I thought I was being smart by trying on the BM...

4681 days agoHas anyone ever done this before or have plans on doing this? If so, did you do it in combination with a retail registry? I've been doing a little research, but am nervous on how guests may receive this gesture. Thanks!

4684 days agoI remember my mom using Oriental Trading for just about every occasion when we were kids and don't recall there ever being an issue with product quality. It seems you kinda know what you're paying for through this company, but I wanted to know if any...

4685 days agoFH and I are currently on separate insurance policies and pay about $160 each month per person. With the November enrollment period coming up and us getting married in April (2014) we've been thinking of eloping this year just so we can share...

4685 days agoI've recently started to put together a scratch "Day of" timeline and realized that our time for photography may be a bit tight. The chapel books up to 4 weddings per day and each wedding party is allotted 90 minutes. This leaves a 30 minute buffer...

4689 days agoHere we go......just 2 weeks ago I finally settled on a dress for my BM's and MOH. I'd gone into David's Bridal and tried on the dress myself just to get a feel for it (see pics below) and to see how it'd look with the jewelry I picked. Was so in...

4695 days agoI'm trying to put together a scratch "Wedding Day" itinerary just to get an idea of how long everything is going to take and to make sure we'll be able to get to the chapel on-time. In my mind 3 hours is enough time for 6 BM's to get dressed and...

4701 days agoWhile picking out hotels for my guests I realized that none of the local hotels have free airport shuttle service (Sigh!) So now I'm trying to figure out how to arrange a shuttle service to transport guests to and from the airport without them having...

4702 days agoAnd this is how..... When we first started planning we had a guest list of 90 with a budget of $9,000. After crunching the numbers we realized that we could truly only afford half of that. With only 11 months to go we still had enough time to...

4729 days agoFirst, I kinda need to LOL for a moment just because I feel ridiculous even writing this. I've spent all day looking for artificial Dusty Miller plants and silver brunia berries. A week ago I couldn't even tell you what those are BTW. So I finally...

4730 days agoI've been tasked with buying samples of all the linens, flowers and other accessory pieces I'd like use for my BM's bouquets and decor for the reception. Once I have all the sample pieces my aunt will help me put together a sample table and floral...
