Activity for Kaye

Doing budget and guest lists and wondering what obligation I have to my OOT guests. Their weddings were more fancy and there were buses, lunches and brunches in addition to the actual wedding. They are also bigger drinkers.- like 4 with dinner and...

My mother has decided she wants to make a major contribution towards the wedding costs. Most likely the only things FH and I will have to pay for will be the DJ, flowers and the photographer. It's incredibly sweet of her and she is doing it because...

My FH and I have been talking about our wedding for sometime. We've had the venue booked for several weeks now. I received my "official" proposal on Halloween when he placed the ring on my finger and got down on one knee. The reason for the delay was...

I'm in the very beginning stages of planning and my vision is pretty much a hot mess of fall/ rustic/ country/ vintage/ old fashion/ classic. Is this normal? The flowers and decor are really throwing me for a loop. My venue is a CCC timber frame...

I know it's a full month away, but does anyone remember some of the great deals available regarding decor, invitations, etc?

Oh dear. Just weighed myself and I have gained 10 pounds. Praying it's not accurate as my scale was acting like the battery was dying but chances are it is. I'm just so disappointed in myself. So it's back on the healthy eating wagon. Thank God the...

We are doing a brunch at noon on a Sunday for our reception. Due to the early time, I was just planning on a mimosa and bloody Mary bar, in addition to coffee, tea, juice and iced tea. Is that sufficient for alcohol? The weddings is going to be...

We have this great local bakery that does just pie. I'm having a fall wedding and am now leaning towards a small cake and 6 different kinds of pie. Thoughts?

I'll be 50 when I marry and having trouble with choosing what to do. I'm planning to DIY my makeup bc I rarely like what others do and figured I had an entire year to work on and perfect my look. Most of the inspiration out there is for 20 someone yr...

I've asked my sister to be my only attendant. The problem is that she had a very large brain tumor (thankfully benign) that was surgically removed 5 yrs ago. Since then, if she gets stressed or tired, she will quake with a seizure like tremor. She...

This is my FHs second wedding. He wants something small which is fine with me. I'm working the guest list right now and I will have probably 3-4 guests to his one. Is this bad? It doesn't bother him, but I feel I am basically throwing myself a party...

Starting to interview djs. What questions do I ask? How do you pick a good one? I'm not much of a dancer and neither is my FH. I'm leaning towards old classics like Sinatra etc being the majority of my music. Ideas? Thoughts? I just want a little...

So glad to have secured our venue! I thought I had to wait until Nov due to the information on their website. Glad I checked and got one of the two dates I wanted. Just $1200 for the whole day. Hoping to have it outside overlooking the river...

Anyone hire a really good acquaintance who loves to throw parties as their DOC? She is super responsible and throws amazing gatherings all the time. My wedding will be simple with 1 attendant for me and the groom. 30ish people.

I'm 49 and he's 46. This is my first marriage and his second. We have a good communication style and have never had a fight in 2 yrs of dating. We have had discussions certainly, but never what I would call a fight. Both of us come from families...
