Activity for Emily

My wedding is in 7 days (ahhhhh!!) Checking the forecast and it’s expected to rain 😭. Our ceremony is taking place outdoors with the reception being inside. My FH and I are trying to plan for back ups, one being we could just get married inside where...

First, I want to add that none of our vendors are wedding professionals. Everyone is a friend, family member or friend of a friend. Including our venue. So, none of them have been able to assist much with timeline expectations. Here is what I have....

I need help with some good party songs for my reception! We are doing our own music, no DJ. The first half of the reception were playing more family friendly songs like Backstreet Boys, Cupid Shuffle, etc but the second half is going to be more dance...

Our officiant is a family member who is a preacher. What would we get him as a wedding gift? I was thinking about a donation to his church but would be an appropriate amount?

We have finally decided on our honeymoon and plan on going to Tybee Island, GA for a week and spending a day/ night in Savannah. Has anyone been? What are some MUST dos and see in those areas?

What are some ideas that I can do to replace ceremony programs? Would it be ok if I just not do anything? Just a bit of detail: We are having just a traditional ceremony so nothing special needed to guests to know except maybe a unity. I know guests...

During cocktail hour I was planning on just having meatballs and a charcuterie board. Will this be enough? Cocktail hour will be from 3:30-4:30. For “dinner” which will be at 4:30 will be a buffet style cooked by friends. Chicken and Beef...

So, since I haven’t been to very many weddings I have been watching the show Four Weddings and I’ve noticed most brides have cocktail hour space separate from the actual reception space. Is this ideal or is it still tasteful to have cocktail hour in...

I’m trying to decide when to do the father daughter dance. Does it occur after the first dance or later on during the reception? We are doing the first dance after dinner to start off the dancing part of the reception. So far, our plan was after...

I’m trying to ensure that I have an unforgettable and enjoyable wedding and would love to hear what you all look forward to when it comes to the ceremony. Have you ever seen anything unique that stuck out to you? Please, let me know anything you hate...

I honestly haven’t been to very many weddings, so I really don’t know what the “norm” is. My officiant asked what songs we will be playing so I sent him the list, bridal party entrance, my entrance and the exit song. He then asked what about any...

So, we are not doing a formal rehearsal dinner. Instead, we basically just need to inform those who are involved in the wedding when and where the rehearsal will take place. We will be serving food at the rehearsal like pizza or something similar but...

Is 4:30pm too early for dinner? This is what I have so far.. 3pm- Ceremony begins3:30pm- Ceremony exit, guests enter reception hall for cocktails4:25pm Grand Entrance4:30pm Dinner5:30 cake cutting5:35 First dance then the rest of the reception...

We are planning to do our own music and just have a friend “manage” the music. What is the best music streaming service to use for a wedding? Preferably something that I can make a playlist and will automatically continue to the next song I have in...

We are having such a hard finding where to go for our honeymoon and could use some much needed insight! Leaving the country seems to be out of the question. My fiancé wanted to go somewhere in the New England area, especially New Jersey but when I...
