I've noticed several posters delete their forum when they don't get the answer they were looking for. It's called "Sour Grapes"!

Hi all, My Fiance and I are getting married in July. It'll be a small wedding/elopement with our parents and then we're going to do a BBQ bash for family and friends a couple of weeks later. We didn't register for gifts for the BBQ bash. Our family...

With all the conversations about receptions, hosting properly, drinks, food and such, I decided to go to the "official" lady of Etiquette. Or rather one of the "official"ladies of social/formal etiquette- Mrs. Emily Post. Her official advice, per the...

What are some wedding themes ?

Long story short, I hate my ring. Fiancé knows. He talked to jeweler, they told him we can upgrade when it's paid off. I went into the store this weekend and spoke to the girl who had helped my him and she wrote down my diamond info. It's a .78 after...

We are having a family friend cook our meat, ordering salads from work and FMI is making beans. As far as kitchen help, I am having 8 people from work help so that family doesn't have to. How do I go about what "duties" they will all have? If you did...

Thought I'd kick it off today, Still 3 hours here on the west coast until 5 pm but I went home early cuz my stomach. What's everyone up to tonight?

I've been reading a bunch of very discouraging post about how people who are DIYing their wedding should ABSOLUTELY NOT ask friends and family for some help with certain things. It's terrifying me, as I had plan to delegate some responsibilities to...

Is it bad to choose to have a dry wedding? Please help...

Based on budget, we're thinking about doing an open beer and wine bar for the first two hours (cocktail hour and dinner), then switching to a cash bar. My mom says it's tacky but we just can't afford it with our guest list and area. Is it really...

I didn't know there were so many judgemental people on here. Everybody deserves to have the wedding that THEY want. Some of the comments I've read on other threads. Have been so nasty. Simply because others think they know what's best for other...

So, I am having a huge wedding and I would really like to do assigned tables. I was hoping to be able to make one escort card per family (it's a really casual wedding), but my tables (6'x24" rectangular) won't hold more than 8 people, and I have at...
