Event Designer?
Janiya, on July 18, 2019 at 3:02 PM

Hi Brides! I've been debating on whether or not I should hire an event designer to come in to decorate and prepare both the ceremony and reception space. Does anyone find an event designer helpful? ...

Hello beauty brides I’ve been struggling with coming up with a hashtag for a while now! My last name is Sewell (pronounced like “sool”) and my fiancé’s last name, which we will be taking, is...

Struggling With a Wedding Hashtag!
Chantell, on July 19, 2019 at 10:49 AM

Hi everybody! So my fiance's last name is Rau and I can't think of a hashtag that is clever. His brother is getting married soon and used the hashtag: #LetsGetRaudy and so I can't have something...

Invite to Reception?
Danielle, on December 28, 2018 at 12:19 PM

I know that the photographer, videographer, dj, etc. are supposed to be included in the reception count & food. However, am I supposed to invite the hair & makeup vendors as well? We will be...

Are you inviting people you've never met?
Lynnie, on April 30, 2018 at 4:46 PM

Time to spill about your guest list decisions and who made the cut !! Whether they are your parents' new friends or your fiance(é)'s family friend... inevitably someone you've never met before will...

Are You Still Friends With Your Ex?
The Bride, on June 27, 2019 at 9:53 AM

I've heard three main sides to being friends with your ex. The first is it shows that the exes are mature enough to move forward with a friendship even though your relationship didn't work out. The...

Smaller wedding blues?
Megan, on June 27, 2019 at 4:21 AM

Hi! I’m so new to Wedding Wire and the forums (still figuring it out as we speak)! I guess why I’m posting this is because, considering I’ve overthought every detail big or small with planning my...

Either this "guestbook" or none?
Keri, on July 17, 2019 at 10:22 PM

Spent more time thinking about a guestbook than I would like to admit. Nothing too cutesy, rustic, themed, initialed, pictures of ourselves. FH and I are big craft beer/cocktail fans, and I came...

Cost for a dj
Jeanette, on July 14, 2019 at 9:37 PM

I was just on another discussion board and see people are spending $ 500 -$700 for a DJ. Where are you located?? The cheapest I found is $1500 for 5 hours.

Not sure if we're going to have one, honestly. FH doesn't even have an insta, just me. But ideas are still nice! (And I also want to personalize our website domain instead of having the...

Belly Bands? Are they necessary?
Jolie, on July 16, 2019 at 11:43 AM

I wasn't going to do it since I only have 4 items in the invite suite, but are they easy to make or too time consuming? I figured just using silky ribbon and gluing the ends together would be easiest....

Party Favors
Amanda, on July 15, 2019 at 10:46 AM

What kind of party favors, if any, are you guys having at your wedding? Do you have a display idea yet? This has been one of the last things left on my plate to get figured out!

Bridezilla or Organized?
Jazmine, on July 14, 2019 at 9:49 AM

Sure! There are a ton of “bridezillas” out there, but sometimes I think the word is thrown out there to describe a detail oriented and organized individual! I have yet to be described as one (well who...
