My fiancé and I are planning to elope next June. I've recently been thinking that our families (mainly our mothers) would probably appreciate any sort of reception or celebration once we return from...

He's getting married June 7th, 2019, in the middle of Europe, min 24hrs of travelling away. Inviting ~60 people. When invitations went out 3 months ago (over a 1.5 year out!) he said I could invite my...

Family issues, we all have them. Mine seem magnified during all of this wedding planning. On my side of the family, we have family upset that I am not inviting my Step-Father or including him in the...

My FMIL has been acting crazy. We decided we wanted to keep the first list around 100 people and so she has it in her mind that she gets to have 50 invitations for just her side of the family. My FH's...

Every part of the engagement and wedding was not right. We're in our early 30s and at the time, we'd been living together for about 2 years and had an 18 month old son. He proposed to me in our messy...

I hope this post doesn't sound catty- it's not intended to be! Anyway, I was just on facebook and I saw that someone I know who was recently engaged posted a picture of her ring, and it has a huge...

What size is the width of the ring you got for your fiancé/husband? I found a ring my fiancé would like but it's 4mm, and it seems like the standard for men's rings is between 5mm and 7mm so 4mm might...

I have been seeing a lot of posts about it, but I never even thought of doing one. Do we have to? Wedding doesnt end till Midnight and dont want to stop the fun for it TBH

It's currently 3 months until my wedding. The ceremony and dinner are at a church, and We have a separate dance/open bar part at a local venue. Is it tacky to send invitations to the dance through...

My MOH might even have me beat with efficiency and planning, and she has done so much for the shower already. Her and I both tend to pride ourselves on getting things done quickly, but I'm wondering...

Hi there! Wanted to get everyone's thoughts on the rehearsal dinner and a few other random questions that I had. My fiance's family is throwing the rehearsal dinner and have asked my opinion on a few...

Hi - I am thinking of making my dad as the best man and my brother as the lead groomsman however I’m worried my brother may feel left out or second fiddle. To me the best man signs our marriage and I...

My FH family is freaking huge and majority of them all have kids. We decided for budget we can't afford everyone so we're doing an adults only. I'm going to kindly put on the invitation the people im...

Im confused. I know the day of its customary for bridesmaids and groomsmen to recieve a gift from the bride and groom but other than that was the norm? Does FH get my dad something or my mom? Do I get...

I would really be happy with just one, but do I need more? Why?

I know there's a lot of these...so, sorry: Okay, I'll try not to rant on this. Basically, I started my wedding planning with having a zero kids policy, excluding my baby sisters (flower girls) &...

It seems to be the new big fabric in bridesmaid dresses- Katie May, Lulus, Bill Levkoff, etc. all carry it. We ordered one from Lulu's and even though my bridesmaid is tiny it's pulling between the...

So, conventional wisdom says I'm not supposed to plan my own bachelorette but my MOH is my sister-in-law who is a working mama to my 10-month-old nephew. I tried to make things super easy for her and...

Hi all! So my FH and I are having a debate as to whether or not we need to serve appetizers during our cocktail hour. I am for it, and of course he is saying it's unnecessary because the cocktail hour...

Have any of you ladies gone to the courthouse? what is the experience like? did you and your husband walk in together? did you walk in after him? did you wear anything special? how long does it take?...
