Activity for Coffee&tea335

My now husband's (yay!) parents helped us so SO much before, during and after the wedding. They did a lot of work putting tents up, financial help, letting guests use their house, cleaning up after, etc. I want to get them something that shows how...

We are planning to stay in Quebec City for the second leg of our honeymoon, and I am hoping to find a place that has a lot of privacy. There are some B&Bs and tons of hotels, but I was wondering if there are any cottages to rent (for only 3 nights)...

So I'm trying to pick out readings that several relatives will be doing during the ceremony, and many of the ones I like have lines that are written in the first person. For example, "I love you," or "my" heart or "our" love. Is it strange to have...

A friend of mine casually offered to do makeup and hair if my BMs and/or I want it for the wedding. I said yes, thank you, because that's a very nice offer. Months later, another friend offered to do the same, offering it as her wedding gift to us. I...

So I found out that FH's groomsmen want to take him on a 7-day cruise to the Bahamas for his Bachelor party in May, about 1.5 month before we get married. They've only told him to take off work, he has no idea what's up. 1. I feel like this is kind...

I thinking of having either a small flower crown or just a few flowers in my hair, but I was wondering if anyone has done this kind of thing and would be willing to share what their florist charged them? Another possible option: fake flowers. (If you...

So we've been planning and researching for a trip to Hawaii for months, but even with a cheap hotel cost we figure the total cost will be about $5-6000. With 6 months to go, FH heard a friend of mine talking about Tahiti and now he suddenly...

We are trying to save money wherever we can while still putting together a decent wedding. FH argued that we don't really need bridesmaid bouquets, and I thought up what I think is a pretty good compromise--my friend works in a Michael's crafts tore...

I'm thinking about surprising my guy with a home-made groom's cake at our low-key rehearsal dinner (dirtbike themed, because he loves riding). I'm trying to think of other ideas along the way, to keep the long effort of planning and carrying out this...

We have the hotel booked already, for next July, but not the plane tickets or activities. We'll mostly stay on Oahu, but plan to spend a day on Big Hawaii to visit the Volcano National Park, and we really want to visit Maui. Interesting twist: we're...

We're trying to save as much money as possible; FH thinks we should spend as little as possible on the hotel and put it into the fun activities, and I'm cool with that. However, as I'm researching travel "flight + hotel" packages, some of the hotels...

FH thinks it would be an awful lot of money just to look nice getting in and out of a car. We were discussing maybe having just our own cars and driving ourselves. Is this completely crazy? It would save us a lot of money to put towards more...

How are you using social media for your wedding? I'm using a facebook page and a few 'secret' Pinterest boards for my bridesmaids, I also know you can have people tag photos with a special hashtag on Instagram. But I'm wondering if anyone else is...

I'll be starting the search soon. I've heard horror stories about David's Bridal and mixed reviews of Alfred Angelo. How do boutiques work? What do you suggest?

So my fiance and I are so up in the air and stressed about this! My uncle knows a guy who supposedly has lot of wedding photo experience. However he's "old school" I guess, so he has no website, no facebook, nothing. My uncle gave me a dvd of photos,...

The first issue: A girl I have been good friends with for a long time now lives in Arizona. She would most likely not be able to afford coming back to New England for anything besides the actual wedding. I love her and don't want her feelings hurt....
