Activity for Monica

I'm not sure how many are in the same boat as me, but DH has 30 1st cousins and I'd say 20 of them are all marriage and babies age. It seems like we have a baby shower, wedding shower, or wedding almost every weekend on top of grandma's bday...

This is more just because I'm curious, but how do you feel about holiday weekend weddings like Labor Day and Memorial Day? It seems like there's a wedding on Memorial Day/Labor Day every year for me and I'm getting a little tired of it, but I know...

The wedding I'm attending this weekend is having their reception at a hotel and a breakfast the next day at 10am. What do you wear to this sort of thing? PJs? Jeans and a nice top? Sundress? I'm not sure what to wear at all! Thank you!

What would you do? Most of my FH's family lives 2.5 hours away, so I was excited to hear one his cousins is getting married at a hotel only 1 hour away from us. We promptly RSVP'd yes a few weeks ago, but now I just looked at the invitation and...

Due to personal privacy, I don't have any pics to share, but I do have advice (sorry it’s long)! I was a organized bride (hence my name “monica” on here), but I also tried to focus on what was important in the overall picture. I had several vendors...

More of a fun post than anything, but mine is this Saturday and it feels weird to think I'll be married and all this anticipation will end in just a few days. Did any of you have wedding blues or was everyone just happy they didn't have to think...

I was just looking at another brides BAM (sorry I didn't write down her name, but if she sees this post thanks for your advice because it was awesome). and she said to not stop and hug everyone during table visits and to just stop and thank each...

I've heard "bouquet to belly button" and "bush to bush" which one is it? and is it the top of your bouquet (the flowers) at the belly button/bush , or the stems at the belly button/bush ? For reference I have a "just picked" style boquet

We hired an amazing professional photographer and she already did our engagements which turned out awesome. Last weekend we were with FMIL and she said she was updating her DSLR camera for the wedding. FH said "wait, you know we hired 2 professionals...

For your bridal party and family, did you share your full timeline with all the details, make sort of individualized timelines, or just tell people when to show up and go from there? I have kind of an "info and communication" sheet with times, names,...

I was planning to play "marry me" by train for all of the processional (bridal party and moms and grandmas being walked) but now my pastor is saying I need 2 songs, one for grandparents and moms and one for the bridal party (3 on each side).... any...

Me 2 years ago wishes I would have known that pay=say and that you don't have to accept money and you are welcome to have a 20 person wedding rather than hundreds of people....my FMIL has been very controlling with wedding stuff and sends me lengthy,...

FH and I are getting married in our mid-twenties and planning to wait until our late twenties to start having kids so that we can adapt to each other and enjoy life together. Unfortunately, we are both the youngest and none of our siblings are...

We have a 5 hour open bar, our cocktail hour starts at 5:30 with oderves, dinner is at 7:00, and the DJ leaves at 11:30 (FH and I are leaving at 11 before the event ends). We don’t drink, but what is the best protocol for the most well behaved...

When should I pick up my dress from the seamstress? Our wedding is a Saturday, I feel like Friday might be a little late to pick it up in case there is a last minute change needed or if the seamstress was out of office for some absurd reason. We have...

This is just for fun. I'm just curious for those of you who already had your wedding showers or weddings, how many gifts did you register for and how many wound up being bought? and also how many guests did you have invited to the wedding? We have...
