Activity for Maria

This may be a silly question but I’m really curious about it. So I got married last September. We (like many other weddings) were taking family portraits right after the ceremony since everyone was at the church together. Well, my parents’ family...

Hey all! I’m having a catholic ceremony with a mass and would like to make a simple church program (one page, front and back). We’re expecting 200 guests at the reception, but know that not everyone will show up to the actual ceremony (especially a...

What’s a polite way of telling someone they can’t bring a plus one to your wedding? I had soooo many people add on plus ones when I only addressed the envelope to them and did not give them a plus one. I don’t want it to seem like I’m “taking away”...

Never in my life did I think so many people would add uninvited guests to their RSVPs. So far we’ve had 5 people add uninvited people on their RSVPs (some adding MULTIPLE PEOPLE) when the envelope is clearly addressed to Mr and Mrs ____ and not the...

How late did you guys have your photographer stay at the reception? I get my photographers for 10 hours and would like to have them here for when I get my hair/makeup done but can’t have them come too early or else they won’t be able to stay at the...

For everyone that did a late night snack, how did you figure out how much to order? We are thinking about doing swensons (an Ohio burger place) and having it delivered around 10:30pm. We’re probably going to have around 200 people at the reception...

I’ve worked at the same company for a few years now, but moved departments about a year ago. My department is really small (about 5 people on my team). I am for sure inviting my boss and one of my coworkers that I’m closer to. However, I feel like...

Hi all! What’s a good size for organza bags for wedding favors? We’re going to be putting mnm’s in them. I ordered some from oriental trading but they were wayyyy too small I think those were 2 1/2 x 3. What is a good size for the bags? I’ve seen 3 x...

Hi all! I went to a wedding this past weekend and saw their chiavari chairs and really liked them. Our venue is the Sheraton in Cuyahoga Falls and they provide goldish brown chairs that we were gonna use but not cover to cut down on costs. However,...

So I’ve always heard brides should get their hair/makeup done last so it’s the freshest for pics. But, I’ve been reading that they should go sooner rather than later so makeup artists and stylists have enough time to do what the bride wants for...

So my wedding is late September, right after summer. 4 out of 5 bridesmaids are wearing dresses with thin straps so you will see their shoulders, upper chest etc. How can I politely ask my bridesmaids to be careful about tan lines during the summer...

How early should I get to the church before the ceremony starts? The ceremony is at 2 and we are getting ready at my moms house, which is about 20 minutes from the church. Trying to decide what time to have the limo driver pick us up. I’m thinking if...
