Of weddings you have attended, and planning your own, what has worked best for seating for the 13-20something crowd? Are they seated with parents or at their own table with each other to mix and...

I just don't care about having a book, map, picture..... Nothing. I don't care to have anything guests can sign. I saw a cool looking map that I liked because my FH and I are from different countries...
What does your tentative timeline look like? Is it structured or go with the flow? Is there enough time for everything you want to do or do you have to cut something out? What events are you having...
What do y'all think of having casino gaming tables at the reception? Not many of our guests are big dancers; they'll sit and appreciate music, but not dance. Plus, all of my finance's family members...
So we are having a wedding out of state so I want to limit what we have to bring back. I want to setup an iPad on a tripod and have a sign that says “Please leave us a message on the video guest...
Hey there are there any D9 brides out there?? I’m a member of SGRHO and would love to know how you are planning to incorporate any Sorority traditions in your wedding reception. Please share!
We are looking into having Freebirds as our food option at our reception. It’s a small group of 65 people that’s just close family and friends. Has anyone or knows of anyone serving Freebirds at a...
