Closed dj set
Danielle , on April 29, 2018 at 3:58 PM

So has anyone else done or is doing a closed DJ set? If so why? My FH is a club DJ so to tie in a part of him we were going to play EDM at the reception. If you dont know what EDM is it's a style of...

Opinions on open bar vs cash bar?
Futuremrsk, on April 29, 2018 at 5:06 PM

I know there is quite the debate over which a couple should choose, open or cash. Personally, when I go to a wedding, I always bring cash expecting to pay for the few drinks I want to have and to tip...

How many people came to your wedding?
Meagan, on April 26, 2018 at 2:13 PM

Hey how many people did you invite to your wedding and how many actually came? We want to stick to 140 guests but there are some we supposedly have to invite for "etiquette" but they probably will not...

Hi, WW! Long time listener, first time caller. I've seen so many of you get great advice on sticky situations, hoping you can help with mind. I'm having a black tie wedding. That's not the dress code,...

Is a guestbook really important?
kelsey , on April 24, 2018 at 8:44 PM

Ugh so I've been arguing with myself if its actually worth it?? My FH doesn't care for it, but if we were to get one it would be more of a journal that people can write their wishes in (like the...

Band vs dj
Emily, on April 25, 2018 at 8:04 AM

I'm torn - my mom is really pushing for a band but I always thought I'd want a DJ since they can easily cover a variety of music. Now I'm unsure because a band would be entertaining. So, what do you...

Winging it and no trial! Ahhh
Stephanie, on April 24, 2018 at 10:44 PM

Has anyone ever went with a hair and make-up artist without doing a trial and just doing it all the day of. I am self taught with hair and makeup and feel like I wouldn't need to spend that extra...

Michelle, on April 21, 2018 at 9:09 PM

I'm not sure how to sum this up, so here it is: My fiance and I are minimalistic and truly think of our wedding as an (albeit elaborate) party to celebrate our marriage; my negative-nagging extended...

Sweat heart's or bridal party table
Beckah94, on April 21, 2018 at 2:04 PM

I was curious if you are doing a sweat heart's table or having a long table to include the bridal party? I wasn't really wanting to do a seating chart because it's mostly family.

I'm not sure if Camping would be a good idea?
Alicia, on February 8, 2018 at 8:49 AM

So I just got engaged and have a couple years to plan. I really want it to be more of a celebration, and let the guests have fun, drink and not have to worry about driving home. My mom and matron of...

Hi everyone! I was wanting a photobooth for the wedding but so far all the ones I have found are $600+ which seems crazy to me. I was thinking about buying a Fujifilm Instax Mini for $50...

I have a few people who want to send gifts that are not invited to the wedding. We are not registered anywhere, because we don't need household gifts. On our website we just asked for monetary gifts....

8 minute walk
Prisonmike, on February 10, 2018 at 4:26 PM

The parking lot from our venue is 8 minutes away walking (0.3 miles away). It is about a block and a half. Is that too much? Our elderly guests will be dropped off, and there is street parking for...
