I just got engaged four days ago (yay!) and I've got a million questions but this post is just about who pays for what. I know it's traditional for the bride's family to pay for the wedding but...

lawn games
Tamra, on April 7, 2016 at 5:36 PM

Ok so my mom thinks that if we have lawn games like jenga, bean bag toss and tic tac toe that it won't be enough "things to do" to entertain 50-75 ppl during the reception. She also thinks there needs...

Do you prefer suits or tuxedos?
Jan87, on March 9, 2014 at 12:18 PM

Hi everyone! I was just wondering what you all prefered your FH to wear: suit or tuxedo? I personally prefer suits for some reason. What about you? What is your guy going to wear?

Scheduled dances?
Aftan, on March 7, 2014 at 5:37 AM

When are you supposed to do the first dance, father/daughter dance, etc? I figured those would be after eating. Am I wrong?

Menu Sign Question
Katydid, on March 2, 2014 at 8:58 AM

Rather than assigned seats, we are assigning tables, and letting our caterer know how many chicken/beef/fish per table based on the RSVPs. I want to put out a menu for our guests on the tables, so...

Jennifer, on August 3, 2011 at 4:23 PM

My invites have gone out and already the calls and messages have begun:" Can I bring my kids" " I don't know who I can leave them with, etc" Though I'm trying to sympathize with those that might have...
