Activity for Jennifer

I'm reading this guide on tipping vendors ( Tipping Wedding Vendors ) and have come up with this estimated breakdown total $****. I don't know maybe I'm just cheap, but that seems a lot?! Hair and make up: $75 per artist x 3 =...

Pros and cons of DJ vs Band? DJ just seems so much easier, but my fiancé has lofty ideas of hiring local artists and do sets during our reception. Like, it’s a super cool idea to introduce our guests to local artists (since we’ve been doing food and...

I do want a really nice looking cake for pics / cutting, but I also want to serve one that’s absolutely delicious. I get that it could be both, but my experience has been that wedding cake taste kinda subpar… Our favorite cake is an Italian Creme...

Has anyone here used The Bouqs? What was your experience like? I’m just starting to research florists and this came up as an option. How do their prices compare to independent florists for bouquets, boutonnière, and corsages? I have a 20% off coupon...

For those brides who are diabetic and sporting your Dexcom/Libre/Guardian/Omnipod, ExpressionMed has this really cute Rose Petal pattern and I’m absolutely in love with it 😍 it has a matching tape to cover the sensor itself. I’ll be wearing my Dexcom...

We have a rustic themed rehearsal dinner/welcome party and I am so into the DIY mood! Love these pie servers and pie trays I made. I will also be staining 2 wooden crates to create a nice tiered display Most of the materials are around $1...

My reception venue provides tables and chairs, but can’t give me a comprehensive inventory of what they have. They just tell me they have 54” round tables and 6’ rectangular tables and enough chivari and captain chairs for 125 people. Is this normal?...

I just came back from printing rehearsal dinner, wedding invitations, RSVPs, detail cards, blank Thank You cards, and tags for my smore’s favors for a total of 137 sheets (53 of which are double-sided). I paid around $30 only! I did bring my...

I’m having a mixed bridal party with my brothers standing by my side. For those that have done a mixed bridal party, where did they get ready? Would my brothers be getting ready with the groomsmen or just kind of on their own? Or they come to the...

Does anyone know of online floral companies that send flower samples? I found a Garland company that sends samples (WholesaleGarland.com). They are wholesale prices with no minimum quantity. I would like to “practice” and see what I’m up against when...

99% of our guests will be coming out of town from different states and even countries. Like, literally only 3 are even living in the same state and only 2 of those are in the same zip code haha! So, I was thinking of making the rehearsal dinner and...

I know you're supposed to send a "Thank You" card within 2 weeks of receiving a gift and no later than 3 months after the wedding. When receiving a gift, it's straight forward what to say, but when you don't receive a gift, doesn't the whole "Thank...

Has anyone here made escort cards using retro/vintage hotel or motel keychains? I'm trying to look for the most cost effective way to do this without just using cardstock. I'm attaching skeleton key bottle openers to them, but I want each keychain to...

Both my fiancé and I really don’t like being the center of attention. Do we really need to have people give toasts and speeches during the Rehearsal Dinner? Also, we are having our favorite BBQ catered at our favorite brewery with our favorite pies...

I have a few aunts and uncles who used to be doctors in the Philippines. When they migrated to the US, they became nurses. My wedding is in the US. Would you still address them as Doctors on the invitation? Whenever I look at some of their FB pages,...

My fiancé is super shy and does not dance at all. I was totally fine with just doing the middle school sway haha, but he’s the one that actually wants to do a choreographed first dance to Lee Brice’s “I Don’t Dance”. He thinks the guests would get a...
