I am in the northern NJ area, Italian, and the etiquette in my social circles is that you give a gift at the bridal shower, and then you give cash at the wedding. (No one gives a gift at the wedding, it's always cash). My dilemma is that I was...

I have pretty bad social anxiety, so a lot of the elements of the wedding will be stressful for me. One of the things that helps with my anxiety is knowing what to expect/having a plan for what to do beforehand. With that being said, hopefully some...

I am so confused about how to handle my seating charts. The way my venue is set up, there are twelve tables of twelve in the main ballroom, and there is a sunporch attached to the ballroom with additional tables of 8. The way I have it set up now,...

What does everyone do about their shoes while taking photos on grass/dirt etc? I know that the inside hem of my dress will likely get a little dirty, but what to people do about their shoes? That seems even more likely to get dirty. I'm looking into...

So as of right now the wedding cake is included in our total price per person (which is expensive since I'm in northern NJ)- and it does include a ton of food during the cocktail hour and open bar, etc. But do you think wedding cake is enough for...

What are some parts of the wedding your DJ asked you to pick music for? My DJ is not very communicative and we don't have our first real meeting with him until a month before the date. I'm someone who likes to put a lot of thought into song choices,...

Hi all! So I was looking on Canva and they had some nice templates for escort cards. I like that I can type everyone's name onto the cards since I do not have the best handwriting. However, I am kind of at a loss for how to print these cards....

So my fiancé and I were originally planning on doing a courthouse ceremony and then just having the reception on a different day. We’ve now decided to have the ceremony and reception on the same day. We had planned to decorate the ballroom with some...

Do you do individual cards, or some type of board situation? Do you hand write or have printed? What is the most cost effective??

Getting married on May 11th 2024! Anyone else? So far I have venue, DJ, photographer, and hotel block booked. Ordered save the dates and will send them out early November. What else should I be doing at this point?

For those of you who did your own decorations with silk/fake flowers, where did you get them from? Everything seems so expensive. Which ones would be best value for money?

Hi all, I am having a very hard time figuring out hair and makeup for myself. I do not have a bridal party, so I am the only one getting hair/makeup done. The two vendors I liked who my sister in law used, would cost about $1,000 each because...

Has anyone encountered a clause in their DJ contract that basically states if a guest is injured due to the DJ's error or misconduct (ex: someone trips over an electric wire and injures themselves) and subsequently sues the DJ, that the bride and...
