Melynda, on July 31, 2018 at 4:31 PM

No kids at a wedding?
Emely, on April 17, 2021 at 1:16 PM

Hi everyone. I’m not a mom so I want to make sure I do this right so I don’t upset any of the parents. Besides the flower girls and the ring bearers, and my nephew, I’m trying to avoid kids at the...

Post-wedding party for family friends only
Sasha, on April 18, 2021 at 4:12 PM

My parents have a lot of friends who were invited to my sister’s wedding in 2019. Ideally I would like to include them in my own wedding in 2022, but I have a lot of my own friends to invite (more...

Hi everyone, what is proper etiquette for when to send thank you notes for wedding gifts received before the wedding? We've received a few and we are still months before the wedding. I'm planning to...

Bridal Party & Groomsmen?
Alyssa, on April 17, 2021 at 6:47 PM

I’ve decided to have one MOH and 2 bridesmaids, but my fiancée isn’t too close to many of his friends, so we’re struggling to come up with 3 groomsmen for him. We’re thinking of his best friend being...

Threesome as a wedding present?!
kenzie, on November 5, 2017 at 2:33 PM

My fiancé and I have both expressed interest in a threesome with another woman. We've never acted on the desire mostly because of my insecurities. I would have a threesome in a heartbeat if it was a...

How do i approach this?
Andrea, on April 15, 2021 at 5:39 PM

HELP! So my MOH dropped a bomb on me last month. She tells me via text that she is about four months pregnant and her due date is about two weeks after my wedding. At the time I didn't fully...

My daughter is getting married June 12, 2021. It's already been postponed twice (third times a charm!) due to Covid. I am paying for the event, I'm divorced from her father and he is not helping...

I plan on doing programs. If I do then I need someone handing them out as people arrive. I was thinking of asking my cousins to do this. Are you supposed to get them a gift like you do for your...

Alcohol necessary?

Grooms parents have not offered
Sara, on September 7, 2017 at 4:08 AM

First off let me start by saying, I am not one to ask for help. I was raised by a single mother with absolutely no help (not a penny) from my deadbeat father. She grew her career into an empire that I...
