Music at a park
Paola, on August 31, 2017 at 1:30 PM

We're planning on having our ceremony at a park. Any diy ideas for music? The ceremony won't be long at all so I don't see a need for the DJ to have to go all the way out there too.

Guestbook "board" - which pens to use?
OctoberBride, on August 31, 2017 at 3:36 PM

NatHam, on August 31, 2017 at 4:33 PM

I need help with what everyone is doing or has done for escort cards. I would prefer to print them myself. Nothing crazy fancy since it is just a card to get them to their table and show the servers...

kelli, on August 26, 2017 at 6:05 AM

Planning on doing my Great Aunt's homemade moonshine at each table setting as a favor, but don't want to do HUGE jars. Everything I've found is super expensive. I would be okay with even doing plastic...

Creative placecards to indicate meal choice
Lindsay, on August 26, 2017 at 10:36 AM

We're having plated meals at the reception, so obviously we need to be able to indicate to the servers which guest selected which meal. I hate the idea of having a colored dot or something like that -...

Reception Card or No Reception Card
Mersadaz, on August 23, 2017 at 9:52 AM

I don't know what proper etiquette is on this one. Our ceremony and reception are at different locations. The ceremony is at church, and the reception is at a venue. I was under the impression that...

Seating chart
Aury, on August 19, 2017 at 12:21 PM

Kiss bells
Jen , on August 8, 2017 at 6:56 PM

So we are having plastic cups at our wedding. How will our guest make the cling noise to make us kiss. I don't really want to order little bells or anything but I kinda like that tradition.
