I'm getting married a week from today (yay!) but it still doesn't feel like it's actually happening. People keep asking me if I'm excited but I don't feel like it's actually in a week. When did any of...
I am attending a wedding this weekend in my hometown. Because both me and FH grew up in this area we have lots of friends here. We know some mutual friends of the bride and groom who were not...
So I found this out and I'm not sure how to react. This past weekend was my bachelorette and my FH's bachelor parties. Two of our female friends showed up to his bachelor party. Now that in itself...
At $30 a pop the bouttoniere cost is really adding up. A family member suggested parents of bride and groom, ringbearer, and groomsmen (already got bouquets for bridesmaids). Specifically, we...
For legal and personal reasons, my husband and I got married in August with just a couple close friends as witnesses. We had always planned on doing this and following up with a formal wedding when it...
I've known who I want as my bridesmaids since before I got engaged, a couple of them already know they're in the wedding. The wedding ins't until June 2018, but I am so eager to ask!! FH's groomsmen...
For anyone who follows my posts, or is curious as to what exactly happened, I made a post about 2 weeks ago outlining all of the things that went wrong during our wedding; mainly because I just needed...
Hi, As soon as I got engaged I asked my aunt to be my maid of honor. I don't have any friends that I was close enough with at the time to ask. I thought I would love having her as a maid of honor,...
So here is my dilema - I'm trying to make my list of people walking down the aisle. I know my FH and my parents walk down first, then who is next. One of the readers is his brother, so I am assuming...
We are at our limit with having 40 guests for the rehearsal dinner! We have a lot of out of town guests and family members that didn't even make the cut. Is it rude to put on the rehearsal invite...
My fiance and I are from two different countries, so we will be having two separate ceremonies+receptions in order to avoid having to have a large extended families and groups travel. I am having a...
Hey yall!! We're workin on finding a place for our rehearsal dinner. I'm curious, how many people are you having? What type of meal are you serving? What's the budget?? We're expecting 20-24...
Has anyone sent their wedding invitations via email? If so how did you do it? Any advice, we are trying to cut cost on sending invitations through the mail. Can you please provide some advice on the...
I wanted to know people’s thoughts of inviting guests who did not invite you to their wedding due to budget concerns or preferences. I know friends who had 30 people in their wedding, so it was...
I've been speaking with my DOC to plan out the wedding day. She suggested playing a 'bride and groom' trivia game and whoever gets the question correct first gets their table released to the buffet...
I am feeling really stuck and conflicted. I have been in the weddings of several of my friends over the years. Now that my time has come, I can't ask all of those women to be in my bridal party and...
So I have been in a bit of a pickle with finding a hair and makeup artists. My wedding is roughly an hour away from where I live. I am keeping hair and makeup for my girls optional. I found a hair and...
We got married in September and will be sending our "thank yous" in October (with our wedding picture). I'm looking at Christmas cards and there are some nice ones that say something like, "The FIRST...
We just got our photos back and the editing is bad! The floral colors look like a completely different wedding. The colors are so off that our florals look like ones for a winter wedding (bright red)...
