Activity for Melissa

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has developed some pet peeves around this crazy process of planning a wedding. Figured hearing each other out might allow us some space to take a collective *sigh* knowing we aren't alone! I'll start: Am I the only...

Long story short, my grandma declined her invitation to our micro-wedding. Only about 35 people. (Sounds dramatic, but she’s just being weird - yes, we’re sad and annoyed). Anyway, this opens 2 spots that we had saved for her (one for her and one for...

Very long story short, we need to find a new venue for our ceremony six weeks out from the wedding day. We still have our reception booked at a nice venue for the evening, and all the vendors for that, so it still needs to be on the same day. We just...

Anyone’s wedding coming up in the next few months and planning on addressing Covid precautious at all with guests before the day? Right now, things are completely open where I live and people are pretty much living like normal. But with the potential...

I’m really not sure how I’m supposed to feel about this. My MILs dress for the wedding is ivory lace over a blush lining. I would post a pic but won’t for privacy. My dress is ivory lace with nude lining for the top. Every friend I’ve showed it to...

Are we being ungrateful? (Please be kind My mom really wants to throw my FH and I am engagement party. Due to COVID, the party would be quite close to the wedding date, maybe a month out. Of course the offer is so sweet and thoughtful, but I knew...

Between BM and mothers, about 9 women will be having their MU/hair done for my wedding (all are voluntarily, I'm not requiring anyone to do it). I'm coordinating the scheduling with the artists and relaying the rate info to all the girls. I'm...

I feel so lucky that my FH and I are most likely going to be able to have our wedding as planned. I can't help but feel so bad for my friends who will be attending (3 of them are bridesmaids) who had to cancel their dream weddings last year (one a...

We're in the process of booking decor rentals for our reception (chairs, candles, napkins, flatware, wall drapery, signage, and I'm considering florals as 'decor' as well). Many of these are from different vendors, and in my mind they will go...

Hi all! My fiancé and I are have a micro-wedding in 3 months (38 guests). Back when we needed to secure venues, COVID was still causing a ton of uncertainty, so we booked for the smaller party. Now that things are opening up in CA again, my mom is...

Because of covid, I plan to have a very intimate bachelorette. I only intend to invite the bridal party but do have a friend that is a part of this group of friends, I’m personally just not close enough with her to have asked her to be a BM. I’d love...

Hi all! My wedding is a little under 4 months away so I definitely need to book my florist soon. I believe that flowers can really make or break a vibe, so I'm okay with paying a little more if I have to BUT WOW are flowers expensive! Maybe it's...

Hi ladies! So I have 7 BM, and they have different skin tones and will all be at different walks of life come wedding time - some will be pregnant, and some will just have had babies. They are all super chill, amazing women and so I'm sure that they...
