Sorry this is more of a rant than anything. We got our pictures back a couple weeks ago and I'm intending to sort through to pick out some to print and some to post on Facebook but I've been short on...
Tomorrow my wedding will be exactly a year away. I sent out my STD a few days ago and everyone has been confirming they've received it. I want to post my STD on my social media with a sentimental...
Thinking about doing a photo booth but I wonder if that is an old trend?? I want to have options for things for my guests to do so they are never bored. We have lawn games already but I want to add...
Has anyone ever had to remove a bridesmaid from their wedding party? How did you handle it? I know this question tends to offend some, so please be gentle! I hate hurting feelings, but I'm stressed to...
This may be a stupid question but I can’t seem to figure it out for the life of me. My fiancé has two last names, not hyphenated. His parents weren’t married when he was born so apparently they had to...
One of my good friends is getting married and two other friends are organizing an out of state bachelor party focused on dinning out among other things. I've been trying to obtain a cost for the last...
Hi, I have a two part question. My FH's parents are deceased and my parents are divorced. We want to place both set of parents on our invitations and wonder 1. How to word it? 2. Is it appropriate to...
Sorry I need to vent. My fiancé had asked two of her cousins to stand up with her and now the girl is saying that they can't afford the dress we want her to wear and wants to wear her own dress that...
What can I write in my invitation if after the ceremony we will have only a nice dinner with our 15 guests only? I want to make sure that the wording”Reception to follow” is appropriate if is only a...
So this may seem really weird, mean or just plain unheard of butttttttttttt here it goes....We have mailed out the RSVPs with return postage stamps so there really isn’t any excuse for people not to...
What's everyone's experience with consumption bars (full bar) as far as the final cost goes? Obviously cost differs between venue, drink price, and the type of guests. I'm just trying to get a general...
So I have a friend who is getting married this year in August and I just found out she had a bridal shower today and I wasn't invited. I'm very hurt. Its piling on to the fact that I'm starting to...
I know it isn't the traditional thing to do, but I feel like most family members will reply by the RSVP card, but most of the younger people attending would be more likely to just text or call with...
I was asked to be in a friend/acquaintance's bridal party about a year ago (she and I were VERY close growing up but minus the day she asked me to be her bridesmaid I hadn't seen her or talked to her...
So, right now I have 6 bridesmaids. I had gone back and forth for choosing the last one to have. I hastily made the decision without thinking it over much and now I’m regretting it. The one I asked...
Hi All! I would love to gift my bridesmaids something cute to get ready in for the wedding day, maybe a small piece of jewelry, etc. I've seen these things gifted as a "bridesmaid proposal" - but do...
My husband and I are both widowed and remarried. We got married when my stepdaughter was 13 and she lived with us. Very tuff years with lots of interference from her mom's parents. She has always been...
So I was planning on having six bridesmaids, but found out a while back that one friend won't be able to. I want to ask someone else, but I'm struggling with deciding who would be the best choice (if...
