Help! I am so stuck on what to get for my dad for his gift for my wedding. I want to do something a bit nicer for both him and my stepmom as they have helped financially support a large majority of the wedding. For my stepmom I found beautiful...

What song did you enter your reception to? We love to have fun and love all sorts of music. We were considering some EDM (a mash up of Sandstorm and Ke$ha’s TikTok) or something else that was fun. We want to get the party started with everyone...

I’ll preface this with saying I have struggled with my body/body image/self esteem for the majority of my life. I was an early bloomer, had the biggest boobs/most developed body of my friends at a young age, and while I’ve managed to lose 30 lbs in...

I have been trying to grow out my hair in general, forever, but for the wedding probably since January 2020. It got pretty long during COVID since I wasn’t going anywhere/styling it and my hairdresser was of course shut down. I’ve been pretty blonde...

Hey ladies! Starting to get into some of the finer details of planning and currently trying to figure out what to give my girls as their bridesmaid gifts. I really don’t want to do a ton of personalization and want them to hopefully get more use out...

Hi friends. I have been going back and forth with my parents recently on the bar packages for our venue. When we first started planning months ago, we had originally agreed on a 5 hour, limited spirits open bar package. This includes beer, wine,...

Hi. We are getting married October 16, 2021. We got engaged at the end of January and booked our venue and a few vendors right before COVID shut everything down. Originally I wasn’t worried about things and continued planning as it sounded like...

If you don't mind sharing, how much did you/your in laws spend on the rehearsal dinner? My fiancé really wanted this one great restaurant/bar because it's fire house themed (he's a firefighter and many of our groomsmen are too) but when I priced it...

Who gets flowers for the wedding? My fiancé and I decided we didn't want to do boutonnieres for him or the groomsmen, just a nice pocket square cause we thought it looked nicer. Plus our friend and officiant is allergic so the less flowers up there,...

When did you send out your Save the Dates? Our wedding is October 2021. Friends of ours are getting married three weeks before us and are doing their Save the Date as a combined holiday card/Save the Date. We were thinking of sending ours in January,...

Was anyone else nervous for their engagement photos?! The last “professional” pictures I had taken were in a studio with my siblings and cousins when I was maybe still in college. Beyond that, it was my senior pictures. I’m so not used to this and...

Hi all. I’ve been on Weight Watchers for the last 2 years. I’ve lost between 30-40 lbs and kept it off (woo hoo!), but the last year I have struggled to lose anymore weight. I’ve hovered between 170 and 175 since September, and I would really love to...

So... I have some very interesting and complicated family dynamics. I'll try to make this as short and sweet as possible but while still making sense. I truly need some advice on how to handle not inviting nearly half of my mom's side of the family...

Hey y’all. We are doing a small family/bridal party bbq at the end of the summer in lieu of a big engagement party. Mainly just to have parents meet our bridal party and anybody in the bridal party that doesn’t already know each other (most of them...

Hi all. Starting to figure out where we want to go for our honeymoon and we're pretty positive we want to go to Hawaii. I lived there as a kid (military brat) and traveled there with my family a few years ago, but I've always wanted to go back and so...
