akshali2000, on July 11, 2017 at 2:35 PM

How important is it to book a venue a year in advance for large weddings (250-300 guests)? We are recently engaged, but because of a number of recent events as well as long distance, we cannot go...

For people who hired a separate Day of Coordinator (not the person who comes free with the venue, someone separate you hire on your own), when in the planning timeline did you hire them? And what...

ANHwedding, on June 21, 2017 at 8:24 PM

I'm getting married at a resort and staying the night there. They don't allow sparklers or anything like that for the "sending away" but I'm trying to think of something I could do. I don't want to...

What exactly happens during a wedding rehearsal (not dinner)?
akshali2000, on May 31, 2017 at 2:52 PM

I've never been to a rehearsal dinner, but after some googling, it seems like a nice, small dinner of both immediate families and the bridal party. Usually consisting of toasts and small speeches,...

A number of cousins with daughters in gymnastics won't be attending my wedding due to a gynastics meet the day of. I don't have kids and know nothing about gymnastics but is this a valid reason for...

Buffet Signs
Rochelle, on May 31, 2017 at 1:15 PM

The venue doesn't provide signs for the food. I wanted to do something simple that ties in with our garden theme. What do you ladies think?

Photo-sharing/wed-social?
Amelia, on May 29, 2017 at 6:17 PM

Has anyone used the WedSocial app, or something similar (drop box, etc) for guests to share photos? We might also use a hashtag, but this way guests can share fun candids with us, without it being up...

People ASKING to be B listed???
Jess'sgirl, on May 31, 2017 at 11:40 AM

Holy wow. FH and I firmly decided that we are not "B listing" anyone. Now, we have a small wedding and 2 large families. We can only host 50 guests on our budget. My parents have covered the venue...

Samantha, on May 31, 2017 at 11:29 AM

I've been told that I need to have a "go for" person on the day of the wedding so that the bridal party can get ready instead of grabbing stuff from a car or delivering a message etc. Is anyone else...
