Hello all, In lieu of changing our plans, I am heartbroken to not use two of the vendors that we have picked out, but we just don’t know if we can afford to fly them out to Europe and pay for them if...

I don’t really understand the point of a Save the Date card...isn’t it basically just an invitation? Why would someone waste postage on sending a Save the Date to send the actual invite months later?...

My fiancé and I can’t decide for the life of us if we want to honeymoon in West Maui or Turks and Caicos?!! Our wedding is 02/01/2020 and we plan to leave Monday February 3rd. We plan to stay 7-8...

Hey all! We are 3 months out from our wedding and I would be remiss if I didn’t say I am beyond stressed and not finding this process enjoyable, in the least. I’ve basically been planning the whole...
