2441 days agoPlease be sensitive and thank you in advance for your help I am getting married in 24 days and will be going on my honeymoon to Mexico just a few days afterwards. I know this is a Zika-affected area. When we booked our honeymoon, I didn't know I may...

2624 days agoSo, let's break this down... the current bane of my existence: Bridal Party Outfits. For reference, we do not have a ring bearer or flower girl. The girls (4 bridesmaids)... floor length plum dresses from David's bridal. Done. My wedding dress is...

2652 days agoHas anyone ever stayed in the the all-inclusive El Dorado Casitas in Mexico? We are considering staying here vs staying at a Secrets resort (Akumel or Maroma). We've never been to any of them. I would love if anyone could shed some light on any of...

2652 days agoI had some friends recommend waiting a week to go on the honeymoon for things to calm down. While logistically, it makes sense (time to breathe after the wedding, opening gifts, visit with out of town family, etc), I have a hard time imagining going...

2661 days agoWe are getting married in September and would like to do a weeklong honeymoon in the Caribbean beginning the Monday following the wedding. Ideally, we would spend under 5 or 6k (after absolutely everything). We would like to stay somewhere with a...

2719 days agoOk. I want to go on a honeymoon, right? And spending over 5k makes me think of death, right? I also want to TTC shortly after my Sept 2019 wedding (we're 30, own our home, have our careers... we're anxious!). CDC recommends NOT TTC for about 3-6...

2723 days agoEveryone wants to lose for the big day... me too (and create livelong changes to be healthy). How did you do it? I feel like I start, see no improvement, and give up... like... if I don't cut out every last carb/sugar and take up Crossfit 7x per...

2730 days agoIs there any way to UN-ask a friend to be a bridesmaid? I know it sounds terrible but I asked her RIGHT after I got engaged and was super excited. She was a friend from work that I grew close to quickly (6 months ish) but we no longer work together...

2732 days agoSorry for the undoubtedly long-winded post. In short-- I don't know what to do as far as bridesmaids. My groom has 5 on his side. I know they don't HAVE to be even but I'd like them to be. Extra wrench in the equation? Most people are traveling from...

2757 days agoSo. I have a friend (we'll call her friend 2) that I met through another sort-of friend (we'll call her friend 1). Technically, we all met because all of our significant others work together but I've known "friend 1" for about a year and a half and...

2765 days agoI have sort of a two-part question... 1) If you have the option to choose your own caterer, how many caterers would set up a tasting with? (I know they generally charge per person for a tasting). 2) If you set up a tasting, how many entree do they...

2765 days agoWhat is the rule of thumb for children being included in guest count? For example, I think it would be a bit unreasonable to count a 6-month old as a "person" in terms of handing a number to the caterer... haha. Sorry if this question is silly, but...

2771 days agoWould it be odd to have two male ushers ages 13 and 30? My little brother will be 13 (almost 14) and I'm not sure how else to incorporate him into the wedding...

2777 days agoI'm torn between options for head table seating... there will be 8 in the bridal party and 13 including all of their significant others. Then... I have a really overbearing mother who thinks she should also sit with me (which is an entirely different...

2784 days agoI booked my venue at a small town community Arts Center and have been working with the center manager. When the wedding comes, is it customary to tip the venue manager? Do you tip every vendor the standard 20%?
