Activity for Lyla

It seems a lot of folks who maybe haven't lurked are considering cash bars and self catering. These people are genuinely looking for suggestions and money/budget is always an issue. I understand budget issues and wanted offer a non-judgmental thread...

I've see-sawed back and forth on this, but I'm officially "over" planning. We moved our date, and now we're about 11 months away; if we'd picked this date initially, I wouldn't have busted my butt looking for vendors. I'm excited to be married to my...

Curious; how many folks are not doing some kind of rehearsal dinner? We don't have a bridesmaids/groomsmen and the ceremony is going to be short and sweet. I'd love to get together with family and guests the night before, but I'm struggling as to how...

Hi! My FH and I were engaged in July and we are very new to wedding planning. I've already gotten a lot of great ideas reading the forum discussions. I'm looking forward to more great planning ideas!

My FH has a much larger family than I; I have 5 and he has 35. we're on a modest wedding budget, and we can afford to really take care of 60 guests. I love my Future family and want them all there. However, I'm sad that I can't have more than about...
