It's been a while since I posted here. DH and I were married 8 months ago. We had a lovely traditional Jewish wedding. Our videographer had to have open heart surgery shortly after our wedding, so we just got our video and highlight reel. He had...

I haven't been on here in a while. Still waiting on my pro photos to do a BAM (and I didn't get that many postable non-pro pics). Our videographer asked us for slow songs to use in our highlight video. H and I are stumped! We used "All of Me" as our...

An acquaintance of mine is throwing a bday party for their their 1 year old. H and I are busy this weekend, but wanted to send a gift. What's appropriate for a 1 year old boy? Gift certificate?

Our wedding has 85 adults RSVPed as yes. We estimated them as "moderate" drinkers, but weren't sure if people preferred wine over beer, or who likes lagers over ales. Our caterer ran the drink numbers based on 100 adults. We will have red wine, white...

I'm ashamed to admit, I don't read for fun all that often. I honestly can't tell you what the last novel I read was. When I have read, I've been re-reading my old favorites (Harry Potter, To Kill a Mockingbird, etc.). My work commute is long, and my...

For people who changed their names? How long did it take you to develop/perfect your new signature? After vacillating since we got engaged, I finally decided I would hyphenate my name, so I'm going from 6 letters to 15. Womp womp. It takes forever...

Our venue is in a historic district so there's limited parking. Street parking is hit or miss in the surrounding neighborhood. We have a shuttle from the hotel to the venue and back for our OOT family. There is a parking lot a 5-10 minute walk (3...

I'm curious what your guys' experience has been with jewelry repair? FH bought my ring from FBIL who is an independent jeweler in GA. We live across the country. Every place I've asked about re-sizing or buffing has said we need to leave the ring...

FH and I were going over our numbers last night and realized we're about $2K over budget We have the money to pay for it, just didn't want to spend as much on a wedding. Where we went over: we added an extra hour to our venue rental. And...

I had a second fitting and tried on my dress. The seamstress sewed in cups but I still don't feel supported in my dress (I'm a D cup). She recommended I get a silicone adhesive bra that will provide the necessary lift. I've been online since 4am...

We're doing a short 3 day mini-moon and driving out to wine country. Our hotel reservation had a "special notes" section because he read that some hotels will give perks. FH put in that it's our honeymoon. But I also read that they might try to up...

I've posted on here before about how Etsy makes me want to pull my hair out. It definitely makes me feel like I'm insufficiently hip. Anyways, now that I'm wedding planning, I've been finding things and gifts on Etsy. I've noticed that there are a...

FH and I have our first dance song picked out, but it's on the longer side (5.5 minutes). We were thinking of cutting out a verse and a few bars of the intro/outro so it wouldn't be too boring for our guests to watch. Is there software that I could...

FH's 2 groomsmen (his brother and HS best friend) live on the east coast. We have a local friend who offered to throw a bachelor party next month. It sounds like it's going to be drinks, cards, and casual hanging out at the friend's house. Maybe...

I haven't added any of my vendors to my WW profile/vendor team. If I add them, can the vendor see that I've added them as a vendor? I'm other words, if I click the button to add my DJ to my vendor team, can my DJ see I've done this? Can they see my...
