My wedding flowers were disappointing
Zaina, on May 11, 2023 at 11:33 AM

Maybe someone who knows more about flowers can manage my expectations? My wedding flowers cost about $6700. A bulk of the cost was our ceremony arch. I ordered an arch, bouquet, 15 table...

I had my wedding this past Sunday. A family friend was hired to do the hair and day-of coordination. She owns her own salon and has a lot of wedding experience. My mom pressured me to hire her. The...

Do you avoid seeing people leading up to the wedding?
Zaina, on May 6, 2023 at 4:52 PM

To start, I'm an introvert! I need a lot of alone time to recharge. My social battery is easily drained. That said I have a huge family and some family members are flying in like day before my...

Hi guys! I need some other people's advice on this: Is sneaking out during the cocktail hour after pictures for 30 mins to catch a private meal with my new husband rude? I had seen this idea floating...

Did you hide before the ceremony?
@brd2be, on November 29, 2017 at 11:45 AM

Zaina, on April 10, 2023 at 12:00 PM

My wedding says no children on the invitation. That said I made exceptions for my nephew and the guests who have infants/newborns. But some people don't seem to understand this rule I have...

Getting ready at hotel question
Natalie, on April 25, 2018 at 4:12 PM

This is my first post so hopefully I put it in the right section! Would hotels typically let you "check in" early on your wedding day? For example: I'm looking for a place for my bridesmaids and moms...

No one is attending our vow renewal - any encouraging words?
Jill, on May 1, 2023 at 11:14 AM

Hi all, we have many circumstances that are adding up to no one attending: Our original wedding was cancelled because of Covid-19 and now finally we found the time (and did survey everyone on the new...

Daniela, on April 29, 2023 at 1:52 AM

So, I invited this woman to my wedding. She is... intense. People don't invite her to events for this exact reason. She is insisting on serving homemade liquor and marijuana at my wedding. Obviously...

Escort cards by couple/family or by person?
Zaina, on April 17, 2023 at 3:21 PM

Is it wierd if I have escort cards by person only? Wedding wire exports by table by person not by groups and it would be way too manual for me to combine couples. In addition not all families are...

Warning: long post. But: If I were a guest experiencing my wedding, here would be my view of things. Do you think the pros outweigh the cons with their caveats? Pro: complimentary onsite lodging in...

Seating arrangements?
Zaina, on April 14, 2023 at 10:28 AM

So my venue is a little different in how the seating works. The sweetheart table is completely to one side of the venue. So means I only want my siblings parents and close family members over on that...
