Activity for Brittani

How long did it take for you to finalize your name-change after the wedding? Counting from the social security forms, and other legal/otherwise-necessary stuff. There will be about 3-4 months from the wedding until when we estimate the honeymoon will...

I don’t know how I overlooked this, but when guests RSVP on the Wedding Wire website, they can choose their menu selection. Whatever; no biggie. I didn’t put an option specifically saying, “We will be serving turkey and ham,” because around here,...

My wedding falls about a week before Christmas (sounded beautiful and romantic at the time), so I got the bright idea to serve wassail at the reception. It took a little asking around, but I found a caterer who also offers wassail; I crunched the...

It’s been a long time since I’ve “gotten my nails done.” In fact, I barely even paint my own nails. Trim, file, buff, clean and oil the cuticles, done! (I can’t function as well with long fingernails; they have to be short, or it drives me crazy.) I...

I’m getting married in a few months, and plan to take his name. I keep reviewing the “name change checklists” I see online, and someone mentioned a site called Hitch Switch. Have any of you used it? What are your experiences with it? Most of all: is...

My ceremony shoes are sort of matte-pleather kitten heels (haven’t worn them outside aside from dress shopping), and my reception shoes are these cute lace/crochet sneakers from David’s Bridal. (Same thing: haven’t worn them aside from dress...

I messed up. I’m usually a DIY gal when it comes to hair and makeup (and I don’t like to cake much on, either), but I more or less felt pressured into hiring a hairstylist and makeup artist for the engagement shoot and the wedding day. Eventually, I...

When the MOB and MOG are escorted to their seats, who goes first?

We’re doing engagement pictures in about two weeks, and I’m not sure what we should wear. The shoot will be outdoors in late September (in Texas). Our predominant color in the wedding is blue. Should we wear blue in the engagement pictures? Or...

Be honest: how difficult is it to DIY your own wedding arch? My MOH said her cousin could make one for about $100-$200, but Hobby Lobby sells a metal frame for $20 (not counting the drapes, flowers, etc, of course). Another...

Most of our wedding party is family, including the flower girl (his niece) and nephew (his nephew, flower girl’s big brother). Since the flower girl will be about 10 months on the wedding day, I doubt she’ll be walking. No biggie; the ring bearer...

My groom and I have a dilemma. He wants alcohol at the reception, and most from his side will likely expect it. I don’t have a problem with alcohol at the reception (except for the financial aspect. LOL!), assuming nobody drinks and drives, but most...

I’m hoping to add our Honey Fund registry to our website, but I don’t see a way to do that. Has anyone else done this? Thank you in advance!
