Our potential caterers has an option where we can provide our own alcohol but we just have to pay for their bartender to serve. The other option is to use one of their bar packages. We plan to do beer and wine only, or maybe upgrade and do one...

I am trying to keep my dress budget under 700, and the lower the better. Any tips on where to search besides DB or consignment stores? I have looked at some department stores, but the dresses don't fit my vision of "bridal" or are crazy-expensive....

Any advice as to what is a good guideline for resizing the engagement ring versus getting an insert/guard/clasp to attach to the ring. My ring has started to feel looser towards the end of the day. I take my jewelry off when I work out, so I'm...

I don't have any family in my state, and my BMs are also all scattered. It looks like I'll have to go dress shopping alone. My mom can't take the time to fly up right now. I absolutely hate shopping on a regular day, so I'm quite nervous about...

I saw a suggestion on here a while back to get makeup done at the makeup counter. I have a bunch of products I've run low on, so I will be restocking on those when I go. Do I tell the MUA specifically that I am getting E-Pics done? Will they get mad?...

What is a good way to find up and coming vendors? Is this a good strategy to save some money, or is the savings not worth it? We don't mind giving someone a chance and allowing them to build their portfolio, but we also don't want to get burned on...

Several of my friends are having babies/just had babies so it got me thinking. I was thinking about my future children's names and I realized FH and I have a lot of family members whose legacies we will want to honor/names we want to keep going in...

FH's and my parents won't meet each other until a few days before the wedding because they live on opposite ends of the country (CA and IN). FH and I live in Seattle. FH's mom is very organized; my mom is indecisive, and probably won't decide which...

FH and I are going to have two ceremonies. The first is going to be a small ceremony with a judge where we'll be legally married. We'll then have a private Ketubah signing. The second ceremony will be the one all our guests see where we'll be...

Does anyone know when the NFL announces game schedules for the following season? In this case, the **** season? There are a few venues I'm interested in, and they're located near my city's NFL stadium. I'm worried that if my wedding overlaps with a...

Did any of you use a spreadsheet to help you compare venues? I'm trying to keep organized and identify the basic costs, costs of extras, what's included, what I'd have to get separately, etc. What categories did you have in yours? ETA: Is anyone...

I'm looking for tips for how FH and I can start jointly saving for wedding expenses. I see a lot of articles about the best credit cards but that's not what I need. Should we create a joint checking/savings account, and each pay a fixed amount into...

FH and I have done our preliminary guest list. It is currently about 95, and we are comfortable capping our list at 100. We are exploring venues, so we are looking at venues with a capacity of ~100. FH and I are both transplants to our city, so our...

I'm trying to figure out how long we'd need to reserve our venue/how long people stay and dance at a Sunday evening reception. Our desired date is not a holiday weekend, so most of our guests will have work the next day, or have to leave to catch...
