I don't want to freeze our cake for a year because I think that would be gross, but do you think we could save it for a month and eat it on our first anniversary? We ordered a sheet cake in addition to our tiered cake but now we definitely won't need...

Hi again! We're having a small, intimate ceremony and I'm trying to work out seating issues etc. We have two people on my side and two people on FH's side, so including us, that would be 6 of us standing at the front. About 19-20 other people would...

Some of the posts on here got me thinking about this topic, so I thought I'd bring it up. (I'll probably post more about it too when I'm not so sleepy).

I've read some threads on here about favors being a waste of money (except for edible ones) so I'm considering whether or not to keep them in the budget. I found boxes w/ black ribbon and a monogram at Michael's Craft and was thinking of getting...

I had someone tell me the other day "you seem so calm" about the wedding. Well, if only they knew! hehe I'm excited about the wedding, but I was feeling stressed today and ended up doing something really stupid! (I'm so embarassed I was even tempted...

Hi again. A relative wants to throw us a reception at the Florence Joyner Olympiad Park in CA. I'm nervous about it though because I've never been there before. I've googled it but haven't really come up with much. If you've been there, could you...

Hi everyone! We're having a dessert buffet and I need ideas for non-alcoholic drinks to serve with it. We're serving bite-sized tarts (key lime, raspberry, banana, coconut, and other fruit); chocolate dipped strawberries, red velvet cake, and almond...

Hi everyone. Have any of you ever ordered the dessert platters from Whole Foods? Would they be nice enough to serve at a dessert reception? We already have a large wedding cake from a separate baker but since our wedding is small (40-70 people) we'd...

This idea could work several different ways: When guests arrive before the ceremony, there would be a vase of flowers somewhere near the guest book as well as some pens. Each guest could take a flower and then write a wish or advice or whatever on...

There's an icecream place here called Sweet Republic and they can bring their '59 chevy ice cream truck to where I'm getting married and cater it that way. Guests would order what they wanted with the cost being $2.95 (single), $4.25...

Martha Stewart has a video on her website about prescooping ice cream and freezing the individual scoops ahead of time. This way, the individual servings are ready to go and you don't have to spend time at your party scooping things out. I thought it...

Hi guys. Sorry to bug you again, but I need a little help picking out my bouquet. Our colors are mostly black and white b/c there's going to be lots of colorful artwork everywhere (bridesmaids are wearing black dresses). I'm pretty sure I want a...

I'm trying not to worry about things since we are so close to the wedding, but it's keeping me up at night lately. We're having a ceremony with just parents, siblings, and some friends. I'm having a hard time not feeling sad about not inviting aunts...

Awhile ago, I think you posted the idea of carrying two roses down the aisle to give to the moms... I'm not sure I'll use that idea yet, but it's nice that there's an alternative to consider, you know? So yeah, just wanted to say thanks for the idea....

I saw some 10 inch glass cake stands at Target today for 7.99 so I'm thinking of putting one in the middle of each table and stacking favor boxes (with chocolate inside) on each stand. Then I'd put a note saying people could take them at the end of...

A florist here in Phoenix quoted me $185 for a bouquet that will have about 30-40 white ranunculus and 10 stems of lily of the valley. (I showed her the bouquet on the front of Real Simple Weddings 2010 as the inspiration). I know that lily of...
