Activity for Mrs. Lav

Just making an attempt to break up all of the old posts on the front page. Ours is "their new marriage was going great, but the husband was hiding a big secret." Over the weekend, I found out that DH has an Amazon Prime account. How dare he hide it...

SOOOOO I might not be getting legally married on Saturday. FH and I applied for the marriage license last Wednesday (with our witness). Since it takes 72 hours to process in NJ, and the clerk's office is closed on the weekends, FH picked it up...

Okay, this is dumb. But, as a not-so-girly girl, I have a question for those of you who get regular manicures. We have time on Friday afternoon to set up our decor. I think we'll probably be doing that from 1 to 3:30 or so. We have the rehearsal at...

Just wanted to share some experience here. We used RSVP postcards, which were fine for the most part. Some people have expressed concerns on here about postcards potentially getting lost more easily. Since our RSVP date was Saturday, we're working on...

So it's time for us to start purchasing alcohol. We're doing a limited bar (beer and wine only)-- just wanted to get thoughts on suggestions. Based on calculators for 107 guests, I think we'll need approximately 40 magnum (1.5L; have 42 listed)...

So FH and I haven't booked any sort of honeymoon yet. We've resigned ourselves to the fact that the big trip will have to be next year (Costa Rica?) but we both took the week after the wedding off anyway. Even a mini moon is stretching the budget....

I need inspiration! My hair isn't super thick but will generally cooperate (curl or straighten). I'm pretty fair, and my day-to-day makeup is pretty minimal (foundation, a little bit of blush, mascara, and not-so-bold lip color). I look ridiculous...

So I just spoke with our hotel. We have 5 room still available for Friday night and 12 for Saturday. The only people who have booked rooms include me, one member of the bridal party, FH's parents/sibling/grandparents, and two of FH's relatives. I...

So FMIL is still trying to find her MOG dress. She's ordered a few online (Macy's etc) and has a couple of viable options hanging in her closet. She's still looking, and has some shopping trips planned, but today, she sent me a link to a dress from...

What are you guys doing? Is it absolutely necessary? We don't have money in the budget to hire the DJ to start earlier (extra $250). I could negotiate with the ceremony musician to stay later, but he's a pianist and there's no piano in the...

I know that they technically serve a functional role, but I have enough faith that our guests can enter a building and sit in a chair. We have people that can serve as ushers, but I feel like it might be unnecessary. We're having between 110-125...
