I made our programs by hand with gold foil and letterpress… there are only 16 program but it took about a half hour to make each one. My fiancés best man can’t come anymore due to Covid, so he asked...

Do i need to provide a meal for my day-of-coordinator who's working 4pm-8:30pm?
Layla, on January 6, 2022 at 10:55 AM

Since it's only 4 hours I assumed I wouldn't, so I didn't order anything. Is this okay? I will let her know to enjoy cocktail hour food with us.

Is the venue's service fee considered their tip?
Layla, on January 6, 2022 at 10:13 AM

The invoice has a 13% 'service fee'. Is that the same as gratuity? It's in addition to the venue fee. I'm trying to figure out who needs to be tipped from the venue- the venue coordinator? Waitstaff?...

My wedding is in a week and a half and Covid cases are soaring… some family was exposed last week, and I’m pregnant. Any advice? 🙏🏼
Layla, on December 28, 2021 at 9:08 AM

My wedding is a week and a half away, and we’re only having 20 people. My sister tested positive for Covid last week, and my mom and brother were exposed to her. They are all vaccinated so they’re...

Is a day-of-coordinator necessary for a 20 person wedding?
Layla, on December 30, 2021 at 11:36 AM

We don't have an MC or DJ so I was thinking of hiring a day-of-coordinator. Our overall cost is 8k and her fee is $675 plus tip, so it's kind of a lot, especially since we've been budgeting...

Don't want to do father-daughter dance :(
Sarah, on July 30, 2018 at 1:21 PM

I thought it might be good to get someone else's perspective on this that isn't involved... So my father and I aren't emotionally close - for reasons I would rather not get into here, but suffice it...

Alternatives for a first dance at a destination micro-wedding?
Layla, on December 9, 2021 at 12:29 PM

My micro wedding (20 people) will be about 3 hours away for all of our guests (and some are coming from across the country), so I feel a lot of pressure to entertain everyone for the whole weekend,...

Need some opinions on my wedding cake choice
Layla, on December 3, 2021 at 10:35 AM

We're leaning toward a strawberry-lemon-thyme cake, but I don't want people to not eat it. We have some picky eaters who might be put off by the thyme. It's a pretty plain vanilla cake with...

Are these typical wedding purchases 'necessary'? Would anyone miss them if i don't buy them?
Layla, on November 19, 2021 at 12:46 PM

I'm wondering if the following things would be missed by my guests if I don't provide them. I'm sick over how much $ this is costing and I don't care to have any of this stuff, but I feel like...

Are you becoming more concerned with Covid again?
Layla, on November 17, 2021 at 10:42 PM

Not sure how to title this, but it seemed like Covid concerns were pretty low pre-Delta, spiked during Delta (meaning lots of RSVP declines and testing requirements pre-wedding), and then settled...

I mailed out invitations last week and am texting welcome dinner invite today. In the text I'm going to ask people to RSVP on the wedding website, and include the link in the text. Do I need to...
