Discussions I've participated in

We are going to make up welcome bags for each of our guests rooms (nearly everyone is from out of town). I'm going to put waters, snacks, and 'things to do in the area' sort of note. Just curious - if...

My FH and I are looking to get our close friend ordained so that he can perform our ceremony legally. I've found a few online, but I can't tell between the fishy sites and the legit sites! Has anyone...

Hello! We dream of exchanging our vows with a backdrop of mountain views. Problem is, we live in flat NJ! We expect to have about 100 guests, and do not want to make them travel further than NJ,...

I mean I know you don't HAVE to do anything, but I'm thinking about bagging a photo display at the wedding. Maybe just one small one of me and FH by the guest book. Reason why? They are just getting...

How are you planning to cut costs? We have out venues, catering, bar, furniture, and DJ chosen, but the cost is crushing us! We plan on not having favors (we splurged on a photo booth and think that's...

So we are on a budget, and went with a DIY venue at a State Park that we fell in LOVE with! After further discussion, we are considering hiring someone to help clean up/break down after the reception....

Hey, WW! I’m a former infrequent poster who recently married and wanted to share some thoughts on my and DH’s wedding day with the group. DH and I DIY’ed our wedding for the most part.

My FH and I have finally agreed on something for the wedding..lol.. We Both agree that we love the buffet idea better for our reception. With 200 people buffet would also be more cost effective and...

My wedding is this Sunday, FH and I are paying for most of it (my mom bought my dress). I do not talk to my sisters, and my brother laid hands on my son. When I got engaged my mom asked if my oldest...

$25 pp, plus $13 pp for wine, beer and beverages. The venue is 2 houses down! And we get to have a relaxing fire on the patio at the end of the reception. We only need to pay for the...

FH is from South America. (Not Generalizing all South Americans just stating his family customs) His family moved here only about 15 years ago. As we are getting closer to the date and planning the...

We are having our wedding at a big rustic MI barn venue. It's gorgeous! We are having our food catered by Famous Dave's (YUM!) and we are buying our own alcohol and hiring a couple bar tenders from a...

I took my future MIL shopping for her dress for our wedding. After the third dress she picked that was white, off white, or cream colored, I had to tell her that in no way, shape, or form would she be...

I want to invite 100 people. I really can't justify dropping $30,000 on ONE night when it can go towards a house, etc. Do I really have to settle for just having it at a park, etc. to make this...

Just a quick question, how many days before the wedding are you taking off of work. My wedding is on A Sunday so I took off that Thursday and Friday before. Hopefully I can get everything completed in...

So FH and I don't want to go too expensive for our honeymoon, nothing like cancun or Venice or anything. I suggested Florida but FH wants something that we couldn't just go do any time. You guys have...
