Activity for Sara

Hi all! We've decided we don't want any stuff on our registry. My FH and I live together in a small Brooklyn apartment with 3 roommates. We're minimalists and although I'd love some new stuff, there is literally no where to put it. We've decided a...

I should have set up my hotel block a while ago, but I'm having some issues. A lot of friends and family have expressed an interest in getting a hotel room (probably 25 rooms, but I don't know). I found a lovely hotel, 10 minutes away from the venue,...

Hi all! We've asked a friend to be our officiant. My FH is a professional classical singer (opera tenor) and so we asked one of our good friends (who is also our roommate and also an opera baritone) to be the officiant. He has an amazing presence,...

If you had a bridesmaid back out, did your relationship change? One of my bridesmaids told me last night that she can't financially afford to be in my wedding. I understand... but not really. She's told me she has a decent amount of money in the...

So I keep flip-flopping between "no kids" and "kids" at our wedding. Can the answer be "some kids"? The wedding is the Saturday before Father's day, and I know some out of town relatives will not be able to come unless they bring their kids, and...

Hey all, I just wanted to recommend this book. FH and I (We're not married yet, wedding date is next summer) have been together for nearly 8 years, and we've had some interesting challenges, and this book has been fantastic for learning positive...

Hey all! I found a helpful article for determining the size of your cake. https://www.thecustomcakeboutique.com/single-post/2017/01/01/Things-to-consider-when-deciding-the-size-of-your-wedding-cake---how-many-tiers-how-many-servings

What's your color scheme? How did you decide on it- did the type of venue, time of year, theme, or other factors influence your decision?

Hi all! We recently set our wedding date for 6/15/19, and I'm not certain that we're going to send save-the-dates. It just seems redundant to me to send save-the-dates and invites when the wedding is less than 7 months away, and I thought we may save...

Hi all, what are your thoughts on hiring one catering company for food drop off and then hiring a separate waitstaff for serving...? Money saving idea or mess?

I think I have found my dream venue. We go tomorrow, hopefully to put down a deposit and pick the date. They're running specials on May and June 2019. We have the option of picking from a few Fridays in May, or ONLY ONE Saturday left either month -...

Hi all, I think we'll be having a Friday wedding in May 2019, starting around 5pm or 6pm. I've gotten mixed reactions, from "If you have it on a Friday, I'M NOT COMING!" to "It's your wedding, do what's right for you and be confident that the people...

Hi all! We're going to see a venue tomorrow, and I'm pretty sure it's THE venue. Very exciting! We're aiming for May or June 2019. The venue has available: Friday May 3 (2 days before my cousin's wedding), Friday May 10 (2 days before Mother's day),...

I'm looking at booking a venue soon, and there are some great options during the summer 2019. I'll be turning 30 in May 2019 and my fiance will be turning 30 in July 2019. The venue we like the most is booked up in June. Would it be weird if we...

Hi! My engagement party is this weekend, early evening Sunday, at a small cute French Bistro in Brooklyn, with about 50 family and friends attending. What should I wear? I have a few dress options, but I don't feel great in any, or like any of them...

Hi everyone, Congrats to all the engaged and married folks here Is it possible to plan a wedding in the Hudson Valley NY, for a total of around $7,000ish? I'm talking about venue plus catering plus drinks, including any table/ chair/ bathroom...
