Activity for Kaye

My fMIL has asked several times what we want them to plan on the day before the wedding. I'm just completely torn. We aren't having a rehearsal because there are just 2 people in our WP. We are planning a brunch reception and basically a simple old...

I've been to almost exclusively adult only weddings except for a few and for the ones that did allow kids I was under 18. Why are kids great to invite to a wedding? Why would you say absolutely not. Give me your best and worst stories.

My FH and I are 47 and 50. I'm a minimalist and don't want a ton of presents that are not practical and useful. We will be living in a small cabin on the farm until we build a house in a yr or two. Suggestions for things we can place on the registry?...

My FH and I discussed just having his son and his only sibling's children attend the wedding and reception. 1) My FH's prior wife was the sister of his best friend, so his friend's children are cousin's to his son. Do we also include them if we go by...

Happy Valentine's Day! Any fun celebrations today? I will be spending it with my FH and future stepson. When I pick up the kiddo from school we will stop by his mom's work to drop off candy and flowers. Otherwise, we are havinge sit down surf and...

I'm just so very excited at this point to have my website mostly done. Now I can order my STDs and get them in the mail by March. Are they any special pages you added to your website? I have pages for the intro, wedding party, photos, travel/hotel,...

So, my coworker is insisting on baking my cake. She is a trained pastry chef but now works in healthcare. The things she has brought to work are super tasty. I don't want anything fancy. Just two layers but not stacked with fluted icing. I'm also...

I suck at this. I've been a people pleaser most of my life, although it has gotten much better after age 40. Each day I agonize over the guest list. Does anyone else do this? My venue will only hold 70ish guests, with an ideal table arrangement, the...

My mother is very kindly giving me $5000 towards my wedding. When I mentioned that I could host 60 people for 4k including brunch, alcohol, linens, china, 3 servers for the entire reception, etc, she thought it sounded too high. I know this is...

Just venting. I had to reschedule my appointment last week with the caterer bc I had the flu and a temp of 102.4. I sent them an email with what I was thinking and we rescheduled for this Thursday. I checked my email last night and found out that our...

I just received the quote from the caterer and there is no gratuity charge or service fee at the typical 20%. There is a fee of $90 per server and of course taxes on the bill total but that's it. They would have to state those in the quote,...

My venue is in a pocket that has almost no cell phone access. Go a mile or two down the road and you're fine, though. How would you notify your guests? None of my guests have very small children at home, but several of them have children that are...

I've heard several people on this forum mention buying tablecloths rather than renting them. Are they really that much cheaper in the end? What companies did you use? Was their quality decent? Did you have to iron them all ahead of time?
