Activity for Jennifer

I’ve looked at other posts and can’t seem to get a consensus. On the invitation, should we put the time the ceremony actually starts (6:30 PM, in my case) or pad the time on the invitation by like 15 min (6:15 PM)? There’s quite a debate on that. I...

My wedding venue and reception are in 2 different locations about 10 minutes away. I have the Thorncrown Chapel booked from 5:30-7:00PM and the Crescent Hotel from 7:00-11:00PM. The wedding is in October 16 with sunset around 6:30 PM so Golden Hour...

For those that have designed their own wedding invitations or purchased one from Etsy, what did you find was the most cost effective print shop to print your design? How much did you pay per card? My printer at home sucks so I was looking at Staples,...

An article popped up in my email about how traditionally immediate family should be in the wedding party. I have an older brother and a younger brother. My fiancé was thinking of having them be ushers, but now I’m second-guessing whether that...

We finally got my “official” engagement ring! It’s only 0.5 ct total, but looks HUGE on my tiny size 3 fingers lol. They had to customize it because my fingers were too small, but they charged us about $1000 less than what it would be to...

I know it’s customary to handwrite address on envelopes. I plan on using a cute little embosser for our return address, but I’m dabbling with the idea of lightly printing (like a super light gray) the Guest Addresses and then hand tracing them with a...

I want to use these intricate paper doilies on my Rehearsal Dinner invites. If I sprayed an adhesive spray craft glue on these doilies, will it just stay behind the surface? Should I put like wax paper behind or something so it doesn’t stick? I’m a...

This is a two-fold question. 1. I really like the Horizontal Fold Invitations from MagnetStreet. I think it's a big bang for your buck with their Horizontal Fold Invitations. Since they always have 75% off, a horizontal fold invitation with an...

When my fiancé proposed, it was completely on a whim. We stepped into a random antique shop, bought a ring from the 1940s, and gave it to me. Now, we are shopping for my official engagement ring. I have really tiny hands. In general, I’m a tiny...

We are having our reception at the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs. However, the venue manager has informed me that they do not block hotel rooms for weddings. I do recommend that our guests stay at the Crescent Hotel for convenience, but I am not...

Our ceremony and reception venues are at different locations. It's about 10 minutes away. Both venues have plenty of parking space. We have an estimated 70-80 guests total. Should I provide shuttle or bus transportation for my guests and if I do, how...

Do addresses on Save the Dates have to be handwritten? I intend to learn how to use a brush pen and use brush calligraphy for our Formal Invitations, but I'm not sure if Save the Dates are the same way. I have a lot of time between now and when I...

My fiancé and I do not want to do a traditional registry since we already have everything we need. We thought it would be nice to set up a Charity Wedding Registry instead for those that want to give, but I'm not sure what the best way to set this...

I am so excited for our send-off! These turned out way better than I had expected! Our venue doesn’t allow sparklers and I wanted to do something that didn’t need any clean up. LED wand and glow sticks came to mind, but I like these so much more and...

Our venue has a maximum capacity of 100. Today, my fiancé and I worked on our guest list and that ended up being 116 guests. We are having our wedding in Eureka Springs. This is a “destination wedding” for everyone so they are all coming from out of...

My venue has a capacity limit and it would be impossible to invite the people I want to plus their kids. I, personally, also don’t want kids running around, crying, making a scene etc. I plan on doing “No kids under 12.”, but I don’t know how to...
