I would love to be able to invite all children but unfortunately due to space restrictions we just can't do it. We are going to provide childcare for children under 10 to help with space. Dinner and...

Earn points toward hotel block

I'm booking a hotel block with Delta Marriott Hunt Valley. I'm not a Marriott member. Any tips on gaining/using points to pay for the bride's/groom's room?

Singers - payment
Allison, on December 3, 2018 at 7:43 PM

We have a close family friend singing at our ceremony (like a niece, so close.) We also have a couple who is singing. They are more like acquaintances from church. I was thinking I'd give the family...

Venue clean up
Kate, on November 28, 2018 at 4:34 PM

Hi y’all! This is kind of stumping me and the wedding is 10 months away but I really want to settle this. So the venue is this very cool co op art studio which is perfect BUT it has some weird quirks...

Vendor meals
Brae, on June 6, 2018 at 12:18 AM

Hi, so I will be asking about vendor meals for my photographer, so, etc. But does that transfer to caterer as well? I feel like that's weird to ask, but they have to eat too right?

Does Fiance need to include brothers in wedding party?
Ashley, on November 12, 2018 at 6:24 PM

So, this was something my Fiance and I did not even consider. I have 3 brothers, whom I love dearly. However, we live a few states away and my Fiance is not close with them at all. There is no drama...

Getting out of the father/daughter aisle walk
Michelle, on August 28, 2017 at 2:04 PM

So, I am getting married in April - I have plenty of time to think about this. My father & I haven't had a relationship for about a decade, but I am cordial with him so as not to upset my mother. I DO...

Addressing Mum and Dad
Tamsin, on November 30, 2018 at 6:23 AM

As it is Christmas card season I have started collecting the addresses for those so it seemed like a good idea to start the address list for the invitations. When it got to our parents I found myself...

We got our engagement pictures back. No joke, I cried. I'm VERY disappointed! 41 pictures & we're smiling in only 1 and that was a candid. In the others we look awkward, uncomfortable or they're just...

FutureStephD, on November 29, 2018 at 4:26 PM

We literally just finished stuffing all our invitations and FH's step-mother texted to tell us a guests husband just passed. FH and I have been chatting and we don't know if we should send as is (Mr....

Hi y’all! My photographer said it would take 8 weeks to get my photos back, and it has been such an agonizing wait... but I finally made it to the 8 week mark! Today marks 8 weeks since the best day...

Post ceremony not-a-send-off wording?
Michelle, on June 28, 2015 at 4:31 PM

We don't have a great place at our reception location to do a send off so we decided to do it immediately following the ceremony. After we are pronounced MR and MRS we will exit stage left and go to a...

Invitation Attire
Emily, on November 25, 2018 at 9:20 PM

So I know attire goes on the bottom right of invite, but my conundrum is wording. We're going for black tie, but don't want to require it. A lot of our friends have tuxes and ballgowns on hand. So...
