Taking Back an Invitation
Ashley, on December 2, 2021 at 4:06 PM

I previously gave someone a Save the Date to my wedding, but I have since decided that I don't want her there. To complicate things, I work with her, so it's not like I'm not going to bump into her....

Bridesmaid duties
Jess, on November 28, 2021 at 9:22 PM

Not sure if I’m out of line here but looking what others think. My impression of a bridal party was always being involved in all the wedding activities. I just asked all my girls to be my bridesmaids...

Who makes the best insoles for heels?
Chesty LaRue, on July 21, 2011 at 8:11 AM

I love my shoes but they are not the most comfy. Although I am used to wearing heels I can tell that after a while my wedding shoes are going to be a problem. I bought a pair of cheap insoles at DSW...

Dinner for Vendors
Hedvika, on November 30, 2021 at 7:27 PM

So we will be providing dinner for our DJ, photographer, and videographer. But do we need to feed the photobooth worker also? They will be there for 3 hours.

Touchy Subject - Asking For Sizes
Jennifer, on November 3, 2021 at 6:56 PM

How do you all finesse asking your bridesmaids for their sizes? I'm getting us all personalized PJs and I'm not sure how to ask them what size they wear... I know it can be a touchy subject for some....

What ridiculous reasons have you heard for people not attending a wedding?
mrswinteriscoming, on November 25, 2021 at 3:01 AM

I read somewhere today that someone didn’t attend a wedding because they felt the couple who invited them were selfish for not giving them a plus one because they were single. It was also not long ago...

Is the Thursday before Christmas 2022 a bad date?
Val, on November 26, 2021 at 5:13 PM

We were thinking about 12/22/22 for our wedding ceremony and reception, but some of our relatives are concerned that some of our guests wouldn't attend a wedding on a Thursday. Our thought was that...

Elope now, ceremony/reception to follow?
Tracy, on February 20, 2012 at 2:28 PM

So, I've been perusing the boards both here and elsewhere and have come to the conclusion that there is a lot of hostility towards eloping and having a ceremony and reception at a later date. My first...
