Activity for Katie

My stepdad and mom have been together for 16 years and have finally decided to get married. They are having a very small (10 people max) wedding in a local cafe next month. The cafe is decorated very forest themed and is beautiful! My mom asked if I...

I'm hosting a shower for a good friend in 2 1/2 months. I have reserved a space for 100 people for all day and can bring in my own caterer. She is inviting 80 people. About 1/3 of the guest list is from out of town and would be driving 2 hours. Here...

What is the party/gift etiquette for couples that elope? A good friend of mine eloped last month as they decided they were too stressed planning a wedding. (They did tell close friends and family about their decision prior to eloping). Yesterday I...

I'm just curious as I know everyone is different. I introduced my DH after about 2 months of dating (seeing each other 3-4 times per week). It wasn't a planned thing and I would have waited probably another month but all of us were going to the same...

My husband and I are wanting to move out of state next year (Iowa to North Carolina). For those of you that have or know someone that has moved cross country can you give us any tips/advice? (Making friends, packing, budget, leaving family behind,...

Thought this could be a fun thread and I am poking fun at myself for something embarrassing I did yesterday. I was shopping with my sister and realized that I had left my purse inside the store when I rearranged our cart. She told me she would pull...

My DH and his buddies are going to Vegas later this year. There will be 5 guys total. So for those of you who have been to Vegas in larger groups where have you stayed? As of right now they are looking at booking 2 rooms with 2 queen beds per room...

My DH and I have decided to head to Vegas early next month. We will be there 4 full days. We are not into clubs or gambling. We love sightseeing, food, and shows. What are some of your favorites? Do you have a favorite hotel on the strip? We are also...

We are meeting with a travel agent today to discuss which Caribbean resorts would be best for us for our honeymoon. Anyone have any tips or questions we should ask?

Well we FINALLY decided on a tropical honeymoon. DH came around and agreed that all inclusive was the way to go for the least amount of headaches. We are going to the Dominican Republic. Have not finalized a resort yet but we are deciding between the...

Now that FH is working again we are revisiting the idea of going on a honeymoon. We are thinking due to work and class schedules (both of us are older students) the only opportunity we will have to go is from May 13th-May 20th. DH said he absolutely...

Which resort is your favorite and why is it your favorite? Any resorts to stay away from?

Yesterday I had my make-up trial. I booked my MUA in April after having her do regular make-up as a bridesmaid in another wedding. She has over 10 years experience and great reviews. I follow her on FB and always liked her airbrush looks more than...

How did I not know about this?! So much easier/nicer than making an excel sheet. http://mktg.weddingwire.com/ideas/wedding-timeline/?utm_source=image&utm_medium=uberflip&utm_campaign=spring15

The only alcohol I really like is vodka, rum, and red wine. My bridesmaids are requesting we have mimosas the morning of the wedding. Most sites I look at just say to use a bottle of champagne. As I am not a champagne drinker I have no idea what is...

Long story short. One of my bridesmaids is pregnant and due two weeks after our wedding. Her current bridesmaid dress fits now but she is worried it won't ’t by the time of the wedding. She ordered a new one with the shop’s guarantee that she could...
