1657 days agoSorry this is a long post!! Our wedding was July 2, 2021! After a year of postponing, I had plenty of time to look up flower choices! I considered Costco, but worried about the reviews that said flowers were sad/wilted. Fake flowers were either cheap...

1725 days agoAfter one postponement, two years being engaged, and countless groomsmen attire mistakes... WE ARE MARRIED! It was literally the perfect day, 74 degrees and sunny all day with a nice breeze (low res pic of the bridal party below). Now the real...

1781 days agoSo I've gotten most of the names of everyone's plus one. However, I am to a point now that some of my FH's family responded with one or two plus ones to drive them. They are very old (like pushing 90) and live in Traverse City, MI. The wedding is in...

1782 days agoHello!! So we just had my bridal shower. I am half way through writing my thank you cards, but I am stuck on two types of wording. I want to make sure they know we are grateful for their gift, we aren't 100% sure what we're spending the money on....

1846 days agoI've seen posts about registries, but I'd like to hear feedback pertaining to our specific situation. We've been together 8 years, lived together 7 years. We already bought ourselves "upgraded" household stuff everyone suggests putting on our...

1851 days agoI'm tired of seeing the same exact verbiage and style on Etsy, Magnet Street, Shutterfly, etc. I want to see how everyone else is doing/did their invitations, detail cards, and RSVP cards and what information you included! I know the standard of...

1858 days agoI've debated this since last year and have had even more time to debate it now... Over half of our guest list is over age 55, excuse the "ageism", but I don't see the point in creating a wedding website if there's a good chance people won't use it. I...

1859 days agoDon't burn me at the stake for this! I know it's a crude move on our part, but these are guests that we haven't spoken to in some time. Now that COVID has made that time even longer, it has made it almost strange to invite them. Yes, we should have...

2157 days agoI've looked all over and most wedding schedules are your typical schedules for Saturday weddings with the reception and ceremony at the same place. So the bullet points of our situation: • Friday wedding, full Catholic mass • Reception venue is 10.5...

2180 days agoI planned on making one, then changed my mind. Now that we are postponing for another year, I've reconsidered taking the time to build ours. However, I'm curious if anybody decided not to bother with one. We are having RSVPs mailed in if that makes a...

2381 days agoFirst off, I've done little to no research about this, but I am curious. Is it proper etiquette to provide the response cards with return postage? I know it seems cheap, but I was thinking of offering people to send them back via mail at their...

2386 days agoWe are having a Catholic mass for our ceremony. We thought we would have the unity cross ceremony at the church, but the church won't make an exception for this. They only allow the unity candle, which we don't really want to do. How many of you are...

2411 days agoMore than likely going with my gut on this one and bailing out, but wanted to see if there are any recent instances (all the past posts about this are from 4 or more years ago). So I went to the Fall Bridal Show in Grand Rapids, MI. Of course,...

2418 days agoIf you wanted to serve beer, wine, and a couple choice liquors, what would you choose? We've received a reasonable quote from a company and my fiance wants to lower the cost a little by not offering as much of the liquor and wine options. Original...

2425 days agoI've been to a few weddings recently and it seems all of them have had wedding favors. Basically giving a small gift to your guests. One friend did chapsticks another one did koozies. I'm just curious how many other couples are doing gifts. I don't...

2433 days agoHow does everyone feel about the WeddingWire app? I haven't downloaded yet because I had The Knot App and it was not that great. Just curious about the comparison. I knowwwww I could just download it and find out, but figured I'd see some opinions...
