Activity for 2ndTime

So the WW checklist says I should do this in May, which would be about 5 months before. Is that pretty standard, or should I be planning for this already? It will just be me for make-up and me and my 6 year old daughter (MOH) for hair, if that...

I love this, possibly because I am a dork. http://go.some.ly/5XIND4K

So I think I know what dress I want to order. I have gone twice to try it on, and the first consultant said to order the same size as the sample, after we played with it for a bit and discussed. However, the second consultant said to order one size...

I'd love to hear pointers on not hiring a DJ and instead using a playlist. Some backstory before I'm told just to make room in my budget for a DJ: we are spending more than I planned on our venue. That's okay, though, because I love it: beautiful...

I'm not quite sure what my wedding "style" is, but I do think I have a color scheme picked out. Looking at invitations just now on Minted helped me a bit. So my question: did your color scheme and style dictate your invitation selection, or was it...

I finally think I have a venue, and FH and I both love it. We are sorting out the contract, which is pretty brief (one page) and clear. I know exactly what the cost would be for my group of 30 guests, but there is a 20% service charge, which is, as...

Just wanted to give a shout-out to small weddings. FH and I attended one last night that was probably about 30-40 people. It was lovely and intimate. There was also a LOT of DIY (no kitchen, self-catering, the bride running around moving food) that I...

I am having such a hard time finding a venue. I don't quite understand why... I am looking for a place for a small wedding (maybe just the reception) for 20 guests. In essence, I really only need a room for a small party. The first place I considered...

FH's birthday is next weekend and I have been procrastinating on getting gifts for him (with the exception of a massage gift certificate, because he keeps mentioning that he needs a massage). He loves the watches I have gotten for him in the past,...

Having read the WW forum for a little bit, I know that having friends/family as vendors is looked down upon. That said, FH and I have about 4 people (family members and friends) who could potentially do our ceremony, which would be brief and...

The venue that FH and I are leaning towards for our small (40 person) wedding is lake side and I love the idea of the view of the lake in both daylight and twilight. Both the wedding and ceremony would be in the same room. We would book for 4 hours,...

Any suggestions for places to look for dresses for more... um, "mature" (read: older) brides? For my first wedding (16 years ago), my dress was huge and fluffy. I like that look, but I don't have the desire to do that again. I feel like I am looking...

Hi, all! I got engaged in June to my FH. My second marriage, his first. I have 2 great kids (10yo boy and 5yo girl) who will both be a big part of our wedding. I'm just getting started with planning on a very small budget, but I've been lurking for a...
