Does the same "service industry" standard of 18-20% apply when tipping vendors? When you're talking a $2,500 contract, $450-$600 seems like a huge tip. But I also don't want to be a cheap ass to my vendors if that is indeed still...

I can't think of who is normally included in the introductions during the entrance into the reception. Of course the bridal party, but FH and I are not having one. Are parents or anyone else I'm not thinking of usually included before the bride and...

My trial is tomorrow and I'm not positive if a tip is normal or not for a trial. I erred on the safe side and took cash out for it.

...you picked up your dress AND put your invites in the mail last night. Sh*t's gettin' real y'all!!! Ok. That is all, carryon

So my dress just arrived yesterday. I still need to pick it up, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to have the alterations done at David's. I imagine they'd be quite expensive there. Several people I know have told me they know a seamstress and I just...

If so, I'm wondering what you did about ironing the linens? I can only imagine they arrive wrinkled since they are shipped/mailed. Any other opinions/advice are welcome. Thanks!!!

I just decided that I need to find a new dress. I called DB, and they are (thankfully) going to let me exchange my dress. When I tried dresses on, the consultant had me in a high-back strapless bra. Ok, fine...except that I wound up picking a low...

OMG! Is it just me or is the forum FULL of great ideas suddenly? I can hardly contain the excitement. Holy fuck! The only thing I can think of is that the Snarky Chickens saw the shitstorm and mass exodus and are pouncing on the chance to flood the...

You know what to do. I'll start. The new WW regime sucks. Oh wait...maybe that is a popular opinion?

How far in advance did you/or would you recommend setting the RSVP date? My final count is due to the caterer two weeks before our wedding. Do you think two weeks before that (so one month ahead) is reasonable? I don't want to cut myself short if I...

So my caterer is FINALLY booked. It's be a long time in the making, but FH and I finally picked one and I am sooo excited for food and cake (same caterer for both). We had a tasting of most of the menu choices this past Friday. Let's just say, my DOC...

Is it just me, or is planning a honeymoon harder than planning the wedding itself? I don't know why, but I'm having the hardest time figuring out where to go and picking the right accommodations. We've got it narrowed down, but I can't seem to commit...
