I hope this isn't a dumb question. I'm trying to do the thank you notes and am at a loss for a good way to thank people for money. Do I explicitly say "Thank you for your generous check?" or do I call it a gift. Can someone give me an example of what...

Today is the big day. I woke up with the sniffles (of course) but hopefully should be able to shake it as the day goes on. I'm sitting in the hair salon getting my hair done and reflecting on everything I've organized. I just wanted to say thank you...

I'm like 2 days out and have stressed about so much I am now worrying about random details. Do brides/grooms wear watches? My Fh will be wearing one and I wear one every day to work but I never thought about it in accordance with my bridal attire....

I'm 20 days out and starting to feel the pressure! I locked in a babysitter for my daughter and am finishing up making bouquets and centerpieces every night. Meeting with the hair salon on Wednesday and trying to find time to pick up my dress from...

How does everyone manage/balance getting ready and having to take care of your kids? I was thinking of just having Fh man them while I go get my hair done and then get ready. What are others doing?

Has anyone ever done a Chinese food buffet for the reception or seen it at one they attended? I put in a request for a quote from our favorite restaurant for catering but was curious if there was a reason this wasn't a popular choice?

I had my first experience with a bridal consultant this past weekend. I went with my mother, fmil, future cousins-in-law(?) to a boutique that had great reviews online. While we were there they said they had a no phone policy to protect the...

I have recently been looking into preserving leaves with glycerin for a project I'm working on. I didn't know if anyone had tried this with any wedding diy? I'm thinking if my art project goes well I may try using glycerin on centerpieces and...

Saw this on sale for 60% and figured I'd share the link in hopes someone can use it. http://www.modcloth.com/shop/diy/wedding-party-photo-props
