Amanda, on July 20, 2021 at 4:24 PM

My fiancé and I decided on no assigned table seating for our reception. I figured we’re all adults here and can sit ourselves. I’ve never been a fan assigned seating it weddings I’ve been to because...

Am I wrong for not wanting to invite my fiancé’s dad’s gf to our wedding? We are a VERY tight guest list (my parents are paying, only allowed 40 total including family). He started dating her a year...

Tip jar?
Gayla, on May 11, 2020 at 7:29 AM

So we’re having a backyard wedding with about 200 people. My nephew, who is a bartender irl, has offered to tend the open bar. Is it appropriate to set out a tip jar for him or is this not kosher?
