How much time and how many chances do I give people to tell me they’re coming or not? I’ve reached out and said “we need to know my x date to give a final headcount to our caterer.” Do I just give them to that date and then if they don’t respond,...

Just wanted to share this idea because I read it in an article a few months ago and wished I had started doing it sooner! The idea is to keep a journal with some frequency throughout the wedding planning process, to document your thoughts and...

Ok I've been procrastinating making our playlist for a literal year now because it's overwhelming and stressing me out hahaha, I have a list now but I am worried there aren't enough "fun" songs that everyone will know and enjoy hearing! What are some...

Does she think that’s an RSVP? 🙄 That was the text I got back when I asked my friend if she got our invitation and would be attending... I told her we needed her final answer by Friday and she says “I think I’m available.” 😒 Obviously I’m not...

So originally, FH and I decided we didn’t have the budget for a videographer so we decided to rent cameras from Wedit ($325 to rent 5 cameras) and set them up on tripods to record our ceremony. Well, our coordinator has ended up being...

So I’m doing my own makeup for the wedding, and it just occurred to me that I (obviously) have to do it for the rehearsal dinner too. Of course I want to look my best for the rehearsal dinner, but I also don’t want to do the *exact* same makeup that...

I of course want to keep them informed and make sure they know what to expect, but I don’t want to send them a timeline prematurely and have them lose track of it and/or forget...

I made the appointment to get our marriage licenses yesterday (yay) and the woman said we’d just need to bring our driver’s licenses, a witness, and to know the “city and state that our parents were born in.” So, here’s the issue... I’ve been...

We live about 20 mins from our venue, which is a historic inn. We had all 20 guest rooms within the venue blocked for the weekend (Friday through Monday morning—wedding is Sunday afternoon) and I was imagining that the inn would be filled with our...

Jumping the gun a bit on this one because we are 6 days away from being 1 month away (lol) but close enough. I wanted to start a thread to talk about this point in the planning process, because I feel like it is not at all how I expected it to be....

I'm working on signs to reserve our front row for certain family members, and I have the format written up as: "Reserved for Jane Doe Mother of the Bride" etc. This is pretty simple and self-explanatory I guess, except for one person. My FH's...
