Differentiating between groomsmen and bridesmen
danilaughs, on December 24, 2017 at 7:16 PM

For any of you that had men stand for both sides — did you have them in different attire (different color vests, ties or boutineers) or did you have the men all match? Pictures appreciated!

How Much Did You Spend On Your Open Bar Per Person?
Pegs, on December 12, 2017 at 1:45 PM

Ours came to $25 per person for the entire night (Greek receptions can be 7 to 8 hours long). I thought it was a pretty good deal.
