We are serving heavy apps for dinner, will have cake and a little bit of pie (not nearly enough for everyone, it's in lieu of the groom's cake). So a little later in the evening we are having a...

Hi, all! I'm having a Save the Date/Invite conundrum. I have a friend who in hindsight, I shouldn't have included on our guest list. If any brides reading this have already made their lists, I know...

So my and my FH are not having a traditional wedding by any means. He is really close with his grandfather, and has decided that he wants to ask him to be his best man. This is super sweet and will...

Hello! We are getting married this coming September and we have just received the first gift off of our registry delivered to our home. My question is, what is the correct Thank You etiquette? Should...

I recently got invited to the wedding of my childhood best friend. We were super close friends from about ages 6-18 (we are now 25) We talk a couple of times a year now. She knows my boyfriend, whom...

I know traditionally the bride and groom give gifts to their attendants. However, I’m wondering if anyone else is expecting gifts from us? (i.e. our parents, the readers, etc) Did you get gifts for...

I really don't want to have to chase down RSVP's and am sending paper invitations with addressed and stamped RSVP return envelopes so there's really no excuse for guests to not send RSVP's. I know...

Let me start by saying invitations are priced at absurd prices. I am far from wealthy and trying to get them as cheap as possible, without compromising elegance, for my 150 person wedding. Etiquette...

My FH and I did not quite want to elope so instead we are choosing to share our day with 40 of our absolute closest relatives and friends, which basically comes down to parents, step parents,...

So one of the groomsmen dropped out of the bridal party(and I think wedding) because my husband got a promotion (they work together) and he's been working there longer so there's some jealousy...

I'm going to try to make this as easy to follow as possible so bare with me! I moved to Sweden last year to be with my now fiancé, and our wedding is in almost 4 weeks! We decided to have our wedding...

Hi everyone! I went to my hair and makeup trial on Thursday and let’s just say it did not go well. She was very nice and everything like that but my hair and makeup looked terrible. I asked for...

We booked our photographer in November 2017. Our package included photo rights, three photo shoots, multiple photographers on the day of, and a couple prints in addition to a small album. We received...

We’ve decided to not have kids at our wedding. My fiancé’s brother is traveling from Hawaii and will have a 10 month old. Even though we’ve said no kids 100 times they obviously feel the need to bring...

My fiance is going to have 4 GM, but doesn't want to choose between 2 of them to be his best man. I keep telling him he can have them both be best men. Anyone else have more than 1 best man?

105 guests. We don't have time for a "meet and greet" at the reception. Our options are to dismiss by row, have a receiving line, or to go around and greet at dinner. Time is definitely a factor. I am...

So...the title pretty much sums it up. We received a wedding gift from someone who isn’t invited to our wedding in June and I have no idea what to do about it. For background: this girl and her...

I already made a decision on this, just thought I’d like to hear what other people think! To clarify- I am talking about a couple of boys I know who are being invited with their parents. The 20 year...

I am about to start searching around for bakeries for the Grooms cake and have no idea what size I'm looking for. I've been married before but we didn't do the grooms cake so this is new to me. And...

It feels really wrong for me to address my invitations with Mr. and Mrs. [male][last name]. Has anyone else felt this way and what did you do to adjust the address labels to include the female...
