Activity for Mary

I'm really proud of my creations for the week and know that my audience to share that is super limited (until the day of the wedding, and then there will be so many other things for people to be noticing). I made a "sandwich" of fusable glass for FH...

Our best man's wife is due with their third baby right about the time of our wedding. We always knew that she wasn't coming, but tonight, one day after we ordered the programs, we found out that the best man might not be coming either. The doctor is...

I have been doing a bit of registry stalking and am confused about what to do about something. I really am not into silver serve ware, but the salesgirl insisted I look, so I did, and I found three little bowls I actually liked. A woman bought three...

I'm trying to finish our budget planning. (We're a little over, which is why I'm having a bit of tipping anxiety.) I've read the old posts... We have a photographer, who owns his own business. I've read that he doesn't get a tip, but we are having a...

I am super excited to be helping a friend propose to his girlfriend tonight. FH and I are both friends of them as a couple. We're going over to his place, setting out cake, flowers, champagne and candles. I'm excited to be part of this part of the...

Please tell me your wedding planning crises to make mine seem less important. Mine so far: I've had the wrong kippot delivered, 3 months after I ordered them, was led on for another 3 months by the company that they were going to make it right, and...

We sent our invitations out on Monday (after a lot of drama) and got our first one back last night. Hooray! It wasn't from anyone good, just FH's parents' friends, but I love mail and am wedding obsessed lately, so having the RSVP cards come back...

I had posted about the freak out I was having as my wedding invitations were three weeks late. They arrived on Friday (after some more lies from the artist and my stalking the UPS drivers in my neighborhood) and I sent them out this morning (except...

I just had one and thought others would want to share theirs too. I was registering for a relay race that FH and I will be doing with a group of friends in October. As I started filling out the registration form, I realized that I will have a new...

We have been working with an invitation artist via email since December. We were supposed to receive all the parts of our invitation suite on April 29, but that day she discovered a problem with one of the printing plates and had to delay while she...

I bought 5 certificates from wedobo.com when they had a deal for 7 2-truffle favors for $11. I thought that was enough, but my FIL's just told us that they are inviting 13 more people to the RD, so I need 2 more. I just posted a wanted ad on...

I have it in my mind that sterling silver pill boxes would be perfect gifts to give my mother and my FH's mother as wedding gifts. I cannot find one that I like. I want them to be new, not antiques or vintage, have liners, have compartments (two or...

We're having little boxes of truffles as "favors" at our rehearsal dinner. I wanted to attach little tags, with people's names, and have them serve as place cards. The truffle people said that they could do it - for $1 each! I am sure that...

We all love saving money and I know that I am building up my lingerie trousseau, so I was thrilled to see today's YouSwoop for Biatta lingerie. It's $20 for $50 worth of lingerie (and they have lots of different items, breands, etc.,...

We're getting married and having our reception at a hotel in downtown Chicago. We have been working with one woman, who will be there the day-of and night-of to coordinate everything, who works for the hotel. I'm wondering what an appropriate tip...

Did you make them? Did you keep them? I'm finally at that point (holy crap!) and am trying to decide if I should do something to get ready. My ideas were focusing on drinking enough water each day, changing to skim milk (which I hate, but it might be...
