Activity for Lauren

We're getting our cake at Safeway as the quotes we got from local bakeries were way too expensive. My concern is, how are we going to cut the cake for the guests? I checked with our caterer to see if we could maybe pay extra or something to have them...

We have a good friend from church who is incredibly talented, and one night my mom and I were talking about the ceremony music and she suggested asking him to play piano for the processional music and maybe sing something (most likely during the...

So I was just looking at the picture of me in my dress when I went dress shopping in July. I remembered how I had the worst tan lines from my bathing suit straps. I tan really really easily and FH's parents have a pool that we'll be spending a lot of...

I'm working on my checklist for everything I need done next year and I wanted clarification: are invites sent out 8 weeks before the wedding date or 8 weeks before the RSVP date?

Has anyone ordered from latterdaybride.com? How did it go? I've been looking at bridesmaids dresses here and there and I found one that's exactly what I imagined and it's pretty inexpensive too! I bookmarked it to save for next year when it's time to...

So FH and I just passed our one year point and the countdown has officially begun!! I mean we were counting down before, but now that it's going under a year it's so exciting. But the other day, FH brought up that this is the last year we'll be apart...

Okay, quick question. FH and I majorly cut our guest list. We had 120 and I told him if we kept our wedding that size we weren't having it because financially it's impossible. We planned to get to 30 people and maybe go to a nice restaurant after a...

So I originally wanted two dresses. One for the ceremony, and one that was more comfortable for the reception. FH asked last night if I still wanted to do that. I love my dress but I know it's not going to be the most comfortable thing to wear all...

Today is probably one of the worst days I've had. We have two cats that we got when I was about 8 years old (13 years ago) and one of them has been sick for about a month now. We took him into the vet for an upper respiratory infection a couple weeks...

So I've been trying to figure out what I want to do for catering. Originally we were thinking cake and punch reception because we'd like our ceremony to start around 1:30/2:00. Well now we officially have our venue picked out and set up for my...

So my dress came in a couple weeks after I ordered it at Davids Bridal and I tried it on before we took it home and it was way tighter!! I could barely breathe!! It was the same size but the manager said because it's a new dress it's stiffer. It...

Okay so my first couple months of wedding planning have been pretty overwhelming and draining. This hit an all time high last week when I was informed that FH's younger sister no longer likes me because apparently I promised she could be a bridesmaid...

I went in today to get an idea of what I might want in a dress and I found one I loved way too much to let go. I'm taking a day or two to decide before the dress goes off sale. I tried on quite a few but this is the 2nd dress I tried on and none of...

So my fiances parents have been incredibly gracious and have offered to help pay for our wedding. Originally they were going to pay for our venue but now we're considering a different venue that would be free (or almost free, it's the church I grew...
