So tonight I received a message from one of my bridesmaids saying that she booked a trip the day of the rehearsal dinner and would not be back before noon the day of the wedding, we have a hair and...
We currently have a 3 hour gap between the end of the church ceremony and start of reception (they are 10 mins away from each other in a major city). I've been to a lot of catholic weddings and thus...
When planning our special day my husband and I immediately knew we wanted to have a kids free wedding for several reasons. 1) On both sides of our family there are a lot of children and we didn't want...
I just cant find myself spending $200 on an invitation set of 100 and while I'm crafty, I'm not sure I want to make my own either. So does anyone know where I can get some for cheap offline or...
So I really need to vent and I apologise now that it's so long. I'm pretty upset by the fact that my FH is inviting his ex crush to our wedding. I have never met her before as she lives a few states...
Okay. I know in the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal but it really bothers me that people just want to go to the reception but not the ceremony. I find it rude. The reception is where you...
We got married 2 weeks ago, and I know we should deposit the checks ASAP (we haven’t yet because I was caught between thank you cards first or not, and personal issues). My only question, mostly to...
Hello WeddingWire world. I wanted to get your advice. I am getting married in November and my friend is getting married in August. We have been chatting a lot about wedding stuff and she has been...
Currently 7 months out from my wedding and I feel like my bridesmaids are completely uninterested. They never respond to any important messages in the group chat, apparently not in their “secret” chat...
Hi everyone! So this will be my 2nd marriage and my FH's first. My first marriage was at a courthouse so there was no walk down an aisle and no giving away. We originally planned awhile back for a...
Hello! My cousin is getting married for the 3rd time (one wedding every 5 years). She is 35 and having another wedding. She is also 7 months pregnant. I asked her what restaurants she liked and she...
My family, my partner, and I are all completely fine with alcohol but my partners family is not ok with alcohol. I still want my family and friends to have fun at the wedding though and we are...
FH is really not into change. To the point where he would be happy just continuing to live how we have been forever because it works. I don't. I want to get married to this man. We own a house...
I feel like a weirdo calling my FH fiance in every day life. It reminds me of an old Seinfeld episode where a woman is walking around asking everyone "Where is my FIANCÉ?! Has anyone seen my"...
I booked a makeup artist over 3 months ago and paid a deposit and signed the contract. Our wedding is 18 months away. She just called me three days ago to let me know her niece decided to get married...
This is a very general question - I’m more just curious about everyone’s opinions. So I feel like there are a lot of “rules” involved in what goes on with weddings - including guest lists, save the...
I know this is gonna sound strange but I got engaged a little over a year ago and while its always bothered me a little at how the day went, its recently started bothering me A LOT more. I am a...
We are having an open bar with beer and wine only (if guests want other liquor, they can purchase it using cash or CC). How do we notify guests of that?
I'm attending a wedding this summer where there are three kids invited, the children of the bridesmaids, one of whom is my niece. The bride and groom made a cutoff time for kids at the reception, and...
Our venue requires that we have a minimum of 100 people at our wedding. We invited 120 and ended up getting a lot more declines than we were anticipating. I am still waiting to hear from a few people...
