Hi, need your help to settle an argument between my husband and I: My husband will be one of the groomsmen at his friend’s wedding this summer. All groomsmen have been asked to buy a specific grey...
I searched the forums and surprisingly nothing recent popped up about this so I'll ask. Is anyone inviting their planner to the rehearsal dinner? We have a partial planner that that we've been working...
So my fiancé and I went looking at houses today as we do every now and then on Sunday's since our apartment lease is up in October. We've looked at a few homes now within this last year and have gone...
I don't want to go, of course. Our wedding is the end of July so I feel like going on a trip with my fiance's whole family will be like going on a honeymoon with them. Plus I don't want to pay for...
I got engaged a few days ago. I haven’t told the majority of the family (just my and FH’s parents as we’re out of the country for a few more days). My older cousin (I’m one of her bridesmaids) was...
I have decided that I don't want to do a Bridal Shower partially because my FH seemed bummed out that he wouldn't really get to be apart of something to do with the wedding, and mostly because I've...
This questions is about what you do when you're a guest. If you've already sent a gift to the couple ahead of their wedding day, do you bring anything with you to the wedding? Just a card? A very...
Just want to know others opinions. My FH and I were discussing this. I normally send gifts to friends weddings I can't attend and I guess I thought that was pretty normal and the polite thing to do....
Out of curiosity, what do you think is the average or normal amount most people spend on a wedding gift? I am attending a wedding in a few weeks and I am always curious when I go to weddings if I’m...
Starting to narrow down our guest list. Do officiant's typically get a plus one? A note for my particular situation: FH and I are not church attendees, so we will not have a personal relationship to...
Idk if I trust this company. They're in China and their prices are ridiculously affordable. I found a dress I've been looking for on this website but not sure about pulling the trigger yet. I hate...
My dad and I have a unique relationship. We aren't super close and I've never been a "daddy's little girl" type of girl. However, my dad has always been there for me and my parents are paying for...
Hi Everyone! I've been playing around with our invitations and I'm having a bit of a dilemma. Our venue requires us to have valet parking and coat check services. We're taking care of all tips for...
When I ordered my sample invitations, I realized I never put the year. Pretty much every invitation I saw online had the year listed, so I added it in. Since its all written out "two thousand...
So my future Mother-In-Law has been wanting to throw me a bridal shower because her friends all throw bridal showers for each other’s children. My Mother-In-Law has been helping her “crew” throw...
Hi everyone! We have scheduled our engagement photo shoot for June 13th and I am already obsessing over it! Wondering if anyone has any advice on must-have poses or things that came out really well...
So, I've kind of left FH's family out of the wedding planning (his mom and two sisters) ONLY because they are very, very opinionated people and I already have a hard time making decisions. Plus, I'm a...
Our wedding is in August. We already bought both our bands. I plan to send mine off just before the wedding to have it saudered (Which could take like 2 weeks) I’m trying to work out the timing so...
So, here's what's going on. FH's sister is one of my bridesmaids. I'm not very close to her, but it was pretty much implied that since my brothers are groomsmen (he is actually friends with them) that...
Hey all! So I wanted to get peoples opions on our wedding hashtag. His last name (which I will take) is Steele and wanted to play off that. Leading up to the wedding I have been using #soontobesteele,...
