Gift from bride to Mom + Mom in law?
Amy, on March 11, 2021 at 8:03 PM

Hey brides! Trying to figure out what to gift my mother and mother in law for the wedding. I was looking at jewelry, but should they match? Any other ideas for non-jewelry gifts? Thanks!

Bridesmaid Doing Makeup Separately?
Ashley, on March 10, 2021 at 9:27 PM

Hi all, have you ever experienced a bridesmaid getting their makeup done separately if the bride doesn’t want to get someone professional to do it? Is that rude?
