Since I didn't like my make up trial I've decided to get a few new products at my favorite make up store. I'm also getting lash extensions (loved the lashes at my trial) and considering getting my brows done to add to the look, though I always do my...

I fired my first wedding planner (who gets 5 stars on here) after she didn't respond to emails, cancelled a venue walk through last minute and then no-showed the rescheduled one. She also missed a phone appointment. I wrote her a message detailing...

Anyone buy their rings online? Seems less expensive that way and we just want something simple.

I'm thinking of just getting eyelash extensions for day of or getting some longer wear knee the day before and doing my own make up. I wasn't crazy about my make up trial and I don't wear a lot of foundation/am very picky about my lipstick color....

So I'm thinking of financing my wedding. In order not to spend too much, I'm going to have my family cooking and hire friends as DJ and photographer. I'm also telling my bridesmaids that they need to be prepared to pay for their own hair/make up,...

We are having plated meals at our wedding and have two meal selections and the venue events coordinator said we will need color coded place cards (pink for fish, blue for beef for example) I was thinking of just ordering them online and writing the...

I heard someone say this on here. We are having our wedding in September. I started a new job recently, so had to save up my time off. I'm taking a little less than a week off for the wedding and then a week in December for our honeymoon in the...

What are you working on? Ok I copied the October brides! I'm working on invitations (they should be arriving in the mail soon), figuring out place cards, still need to order rings, finishing getting my jewelry ready (getting grandma's pearls...

How many RSVPs Yes's did you have? We are sending 148 invites (maybe 40 out of town) expecting maybe 125-130 YES's. Does that seem about right? Sending out the invites next week!!

We are getting ready to send out invitations soon! We are inviting 148 or so. Maybe a quarter from out of town. How many YES vs NO do you think we will get?? I'm guessing 125-130 will be. YES. Place you bets!

How many is too many? We have four, but not very many items on each one. It's mainly because we are more settled and pickier about what we want. Does that seem excessive? It's only listed on our wedding website and not on the invitation.

We just finished customizing our invitations on Vista Print (thanks for the recommendation) As a joke we ordered ten additional invites for the bridal party and instead of saying "reception to follow" we said "clothing optional reception to follow"....

I will stop posting so much after my first week on here! Haha. I'm three months out (engaged since Christmas) and I have tried to table wedding talk recently. This forum has helped me sort some stuff out, but the reason I'm doing it is that people...
