Hello guys. Lurking here a while, but I would like some advice from you guys. So one of my bridesmaids is one of my closest friends from middle and high school and we've kept being close even through...
I wasn’t really sure where to post this so thought I would give here a go. Recently my best friend got engaged and knowing her and her family dynamic I knew there was a very good chance I wouldn’t be...
Hi all! Just wondering if anyone has experienced taking their wedding photographer to small claims court and what the outcome was? I am seriously considering taking my “photographer”. We had our...
Just wondering if anyone else has dealt with wedding invitation drama! We sent our invites out 2 weeks ago - several guests received theirs the following day, while several haven't received theirs at...
I was asked to floral arrangements for a wedding in a few weeks. It’s actually just the wedding reception. They are having a private destination ceremony. The bride is a friend and it was my gift to...
Birthdays in my family are always a big deal no matter what age you are. My family also makes anniversaries a big deal. My younger brother (who is also the favorite) is getting married on my birthday...
Hi everyone, My wedding is coming up we are expecting at least 300 guest. During the planning process his mom who is super """"traditional"""" told me I have to talk to e v e r y single guest and...
Our Wedding is ending early at 10pm because it’s an outdoor venue and you know... sound ordinance laws... so we are holding somewhat of an after party at the bar at our hotel. Now, I’m not sure what...
I've never seen this personally and honestly find the concept a little strange... possibly it's a regional thing? I've seen it now on 4 Weddings and My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and I'm hoping someone can...
So I've only seen one other person do this but has anyone ever hosted like a brunch or dinner to ask your bridesmaids ? I'm calling it a bridesmaid proposal party lol ? Am I being corny ? I just...
My fiancé and I have been going over who we would like to have at our wedding. I have had my list done for a few weeks now and he just got his done. We both seem to find us disagreeing on his list he...
I really want the pictures of us running out of the reception with our guests waving sparklers BUT we aren't actually leaving early and most of our guests will probably be gone before we are. Has...
Hello! My fiance and I have been engaged since about 2017 and we finally set a date for October 2020. Once we were engaged I immediately had my bridesmaids picked; I had 3 best friends, and they all...
So let me start this out by saying I plan on sending them out. However, I have gone to two weddings so far this year that did not do thank you cards. Both weddings we attended, stayed the whole time,...
I’m doing my invites & I’m unsure how to send my one cousins’ invite. Her husband unexpectedly passed away earlier this month. The invite was originally made out to both her & him (however I...
Iv've read about "covering your plate" and I know there was a discussion about if other people did at your wedding or not. But I want to know HOW you ladies and guys decide on what to gift and how...
I already know that part if not all of what I'm going to say is bad etiquette, but that's not really the point- among many other things, we're not offended when someone addresses a letter using...
So I know it’s not traditional at all but both my fiancé’s parents are deceased and so is my father. My brother will be walking me down the aisle and I will be obviously be dancing with him. My fiancé...
A few close family members suggested using our wedding money for a downpayment for a new home instead. It’s a very smart and practical decision considering we want to start trying to have kids after...
