Destination wedding - registry??

People who have done destination weddings, have you still created registry’s? I feel as though asking our friends and family to come from US to Costa Rica for the wedding will be expensive enough, I...

Lauren, on June 13, 2019 at 7:51 PM

I really want to have a wedding on the smaller side with our close friends/family members that we know love us/care about us. However, my mom believes it is "bad taste/looks bad" to not invite certain...

Second wedding
Jennifer, on October 23, 2021 at 10:16 AM

Looking for ideas for a second wedding. Some traditions are ok but I'd rather have a low key, less formal event. Any venue locations in jersey down the shore and ideas for planning are welcome 😊

Evening/night send off
Heavenly, on October 21, 2021 at 10:12 PM

I need help with send off ideas! At first, I didn’t want to do Sparklers, I wanted to do the fiber optic lights. Looking at it now, it MIGHT look weird? Any ideas would help!
