So I'm kind of a private person and don't really like the attention and/or spotlight and my FH, bridesmaids, and groomsmen all have pretty similar personalities. I wasn't going to mention them on the...
My parents are (generously!) paying for 100% of our wedding. I know traditionally the invitation would then read "Mr. and Mrs. So-and-So request the honor of your presence at the wedding of their...
I'm struggling a little with deciding how to do the guest list / RSVP field on this site. I plan to do an online-only RSVP instead of response cards. I'm not sure how to handle children when it comes...
How long are they suppose to be? I sat down to write them and wondered how long is too long...Am I suppose to time myself or just say whats on my heart no matter the time length? FH wants to write...
Heyy everyone! I'm having an ongoing debate on whether or not I should ask my cousins (I have three girls two of which I'm very close to and the other I like but am not as close to but can't really...
So my future MIL has recently (last few weeks) started dropping comments to my fiancé that my future sister in law is feeling left out since she's not in the wedding party. Both of his brothers are...
I had my last alterations appointment last week with my seamstress who was incredibly wonderful and helpful turning my MIL's 80's gown into the dress of my dreams (not substantial difficult changes,...
I was just at a wedding where the photographer was having difficulty taking pictures during the ceremony due to guests taking their own pictures. I've also been to quite a few weddings where guests...
I am having trouble with my maid of honor... she lives in another state so It’s hard to hold her accountable for all of the typical “MOH duties”, but she hasn’t really done her job at all. I am not...
This seems like a silly question but trying to make sure I have everything ready. Our photographer has her own business and is bringing in a second photographer. We tip the second photographer right?...
So long story short, we had a bunch of people not return their RSVPs (ugh, I'm sure I'm not the only one). We had to reach out to several and they gave us a "yes" or "no". Like a lot of people who...
I sent out save the dates a while ago. I've never been married before and I'm one of the first of my friends to get married and I thought it was the "thing to do." However, I'm getting a mixed...
Is there supposed to be a cake served at the bridal shower?🤷🏻♀️
Etiquette rant. Well, I’ve read about it on here, and agreed with how ballsy and (frankly) tacky it is to do this, but I’d really hoped none of our guests would ask this question. We addressed our...
I am getting ready to send invitations here shortly so I need some blunt advice. Our nieces and nephews will be attending as well as two teenagers from out of state but other than that I don't want...
Hey all! I was wondering... How tacky is it to skip the save the dates? Our only out of town guests are my grandma and Aunt, and my mom's sister. All of who I discuss all the wedding details with so...
So we are doing our engagement photos this Sunday (FINALLY -- we booked our photographer in December last year but we have been engaged for 2 and a half years so far and needless to say this is a long...
Recently my family and fiance's family have been having a lot of kids. We've been engaged for a few years, so our wedding has come to no surprise to anyone. I have a few cousins that have newborn...
So we are eloping to NYC next month and the only people that know are some local friends and immediate family. My FH’s extended family is in NYC, and we didn’t know if we should let them know we are...
Hey yall!! So I recently got engaged! Yay!! I am planning our wedding myself and also paying for it myself (of course with the groom). I have been married before and refuse to go into debt to have the...
