Activity for Erika

I seriously can't believe it is already almost here. We have been engaged for almost 26 months and the venue has been booked for almost 2 years so it is just really crazy/awesome that it is right around the corner! My RSVP deadline is today (which...

My photographers have it in their contract that they require meals (they will be working with us from 1:30pm to 9:30pm). Should I offer a meal to my DJ? It doesn't state this anywhere in his contract, and he will be working with us from 4pm-10pm. Not...

Guysss!!! I leave for my bachelorette party tonight in South Beach Miami and I am SOOO excited. My best friend and MoH lives there, so I am flying in "early" to hang with just her for the day tomorrow, then the rest of my BM and girlfriends fly in on...

So my parent's, FH parents, and our wedding party are all staying at the venue for the entire weekend (Friday-Sunday..Wedding on Saturday), and I plan on having their "Thank You" notes and gift bags all in each of their rooms by the time they arrive...

It is the most exciting thing ever!!! I definitely got a TON back within the first two weeks, and now I just get a couple or 1 a day. But I seriously love walking to the mailbox everyday to see. What "patterns" did you receive your RSVP's back (a ton...

August brides! How are you feeling and what do you have left to do? I just got done confirming date/time with all my vendors, and we are getting ready to work out the details soon (songs, etc.). Only items we have left are FH's ring, wedding party...

Weird to wear a small tiara with a half up half down hair style? Asking for a friend... What I was thinking:...

****EDIT**** Sorry for the TYPO in the title! I am working on an "estimated" timeline to send over to the DJ (to be coupled with songs) and want to know what you all think. I want to optimize dancing as much as possible, hence moving a lot of the...

Wedding is 8/18, final headcount is due to venue two weeks before the wedding. I made the RSVP date July 25th to give me a week of "gathering the stragglers". Thoughts? Now I am wondering if I should have given myself more then a week...

Hand Written or Printed Labels? I obviously would like to do printed labels for ease and efficiency, but I understand that this may not be proper etiquette. What are your experiences? When you receive an invite with your address printed do you frown...

Hi all! Just wanted to know what you all are thinking for your reception timeline. And for the already married brides, is there anything you would change? I can't decide if I want to do the Father/Daughter and Mother/Son Dance right after our First...

Based on your experience, which would you prefer? My FH and I originally wanted our first look to be down the aisle, but I am beginning to lean more towards a first look/party photos before the ceremony. That way we could enjoy the cocktail hour and...

Anyone every been? We booked the ocean front Suite that has the jacuzzi on the balcony!! Let me know any positive/negative experiences or suggestions

Since it is a destination wedding for a lot of our family (they are from NJ and we live/are having the wedding in VA), some have been asking if they can stay at our house for the weekend. They are asking because they know us, our parents, and the...

Happy Valentine's Day! My ceremony will be outside and our guest count is going to be about 140-150. My officiant is adamantly pushing the need for a microphone for the ceremony. Since we are not using our DJ for the ceremony, this is going to cost...

Hey beauties, need your help! So our timeline looks like the following: 4:30pm Ceremony 5pm-6pm Cocktail Hour 6pm-10pm Reception I was wondering if I should push up my ceremony to 4pm, giving us some wiggle room for any unexpected delays (we have a...
