1802 days agoFrom what I've seen (not sure if it's a cultural thing or in the area), brides get their bridesmaids nails done a week before the wedding and their hair/makeup done on the day of. I would've loved to do that but I don't know if I can afford that...

1805 days agoFuture SIL and I never had a good relationship. Through the years, she was always domineering, excluding me, passive-agressive bullying me and it wasn't until I got the ring was when she was "decent" towards me. She gets jealous easily (in general)...

1805 days agoI'm having a power struggle with my sister - the MOH with planning my bridal shower. I'm very decisive and straightforward. Before it was a thing to plan, I had rough draft of the theme, food/games ideas, etc... I even listed cost-effective...

1808 days agoI’ll admit it- she’s my bridesmaid bc we’ve known each other for so long. I’m also her bridesmaid. Is she one of my favorite people? No. Did we grow apart? Definitely. Did I want this to happen? No, but it did. I’m a good girl who’s loyal and still...

1808 days agoI'm a mess and I feel like it's my fault for not being such a bridezilla. It's probably not such a big deal but I'm just somewhat frustrated about it. I'm having my bridesmaids dress in a neutral-metallic palette: cream, taupe, gold, blush. I'm...

1808 days agoI'm new to this but just found out that near the end of mass, the couple presents a bouquet of flowers to the virgin Mary statue. I LOVE this! We're having our grandmothers part of wedding mass and are including them as 2/4 of the flower girls (2 of...

1808 days agoWe have two 3 year olds as our flower girls. I was thinking of having them hold flower balls but I feel like that's common in our families/area. The basket of flowers may work too but I don't want to worry about cleaning up after our ceremony (we our...

1810 days agoIt's understood that when you go to a wedding, you go to both the ceremony AND reception. We are having a catholic mass, cocktail hour, and the reception. My wedding website is on zola - when guests RSVP online, it is organized by schedule, so...

1812 days agoI was never a hard party person in my 20’s. I like to drink but I was never to type to get wasted. For my bachelorette, I wanted more of an experience/small getaway. Different than what we’re used to but within the area. We live in Seattle and went...

1814 days agoWhat's nice about zola is that you can add items from other stores and it's all under one registry page. I already registered with "crate and barrel". We've also noticed that our family members tend to purchase from "macy's", so we registered there...

1817 days agoAsian weddings are usually huge- up to 300 people. It’s usually filled with extended families/friend of both bride and groom’s parents. My FH and I are aiming for 165 or up to 200 people, which is considered “small” but it’s a bit challenging having...

1817 days agoI went to a wedding where it had both and thought it was nice. At first, I wasn't fond of the "name card" idea (unnecessary expenses) but from the guest experience, I found that the name cards had a personal touch and gave it more of a formal tone...

1820 days agoFH and I are keeping close to what we would want in our wedding. We have our family, it will be in our hometown, catholic ceremony, and reception on the water. It's going to be the closest we would want, however, not completely. Our families will be...

1820 days agoI am very thankful for my parents paying for the wedding. From what I've gathered, (with just the reception) my mom is paying 2/3 and is requesting the groom's parents to pay 1/3. Groom and I are paying for other things with the event. Every time I...

1831 days agoOkay. I know in the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal but it really bothers me that people just want to go to the reception but not the ceremony. I find it rude. The reception is where you can thank your guests for coming. I just see people...

1840 days agoI had a feeling (especially on my FH’s side) that people would say, “can we just tell you we’re coming?”, which is why I posted that as our FIRST question on our FAQ of the website. Its only gone live for a day and 2 groups of families have already...
