Hi everyone! I’m having a lot of trouble choosing my bridal party. My fiancé is pretty flexible on his end. I have three sisters, but two are much older than me so the one I’m actually close with is...
I mailed the invitations and realized I completely overlooked the stamp for the RSVP card. I have been reading that etiquette states it is not required, but I feel awful about it. Should I just relax...
Hey all! Maybe this is common sense but I never thought about it until this evening. Is it typical to set a couple extra seats for people who RSVP's no but then show up? I don't anticipate having...
I’ve always thought I would do a seating chart, but I already imagine it’s going to be a headache. Our guest list is 240 people. Do you all think I should just make a seating chart or let people...
FH and I are having a destination wedding in Florida on Saturday, May 12th. The only time we can do a rehearsal at our venue is the Thursday before the wedding, but 4 of our bridesmaids/groomsmen...
Hello, we have a few bridesmaid as well as the officiant who is a friend of ours coming from out of town. What is the custom for this? Do we help pay for travel or host else? One or the other? Or just...
This is an issue that has popped up twice--I'm not sure if I'm blowing it out of proportion or not. Essentially, I have sent out STDs but not formal invites. Through the grapevine (my loyal...
Has anyone here had to actually file a claim with WedSafe? I have a friend that was getting married in two weeks and the wedding was just called off the wedding. Obviously at this point all vendors...
Hi WW Fam! So I have a Maid of Honor and a Matron of Honor plus two best men. Do all 4 of them give speeches? Or just the Maid and 1 Best Man? HELP =)
We are looking to have our wedding on Saturday, 11/24/18. As a guest what are your thoughts on having a wedding over the Thanksgiving holiday? Our venue doesn't have much date options. Thank you!
My photographer notified me last week that she was terminating our contract. At that point, my wedding was 10 weeks away. Her husband is in the military and they were being relocated overseas, which...
Need a little help with invitation wording. We really wanted to put "Together with our families" rather than the formal bride's name thing, but it really upset my dad because he is "paying" for the...
I've read all the posts about rsvp drama and bam it's happened to us too. FH and I sent our invitations out last week for our wedding in May. I thought we had done really well, we were keeping on top...
I need help. So I said yes to a dress and all my bridesmaids and mother loved it. But when I showed it to my mother in law she freaked and hated that my cleavage was so revealing. Does it look too...
Ok I'm going to begin this with stating that I know you don't uninvite a guest. And that even a verbal invitation applies. But I've got two very odd situations that in unsure how to address. 1....
So we went shoppping for FH's ring last night. We've been before, and saw a few. I know Tungsten is supposed to be wonderful, but we found a 14 k white gold that he LOVED. It's expensive, so we want...
I took my ring off this morning to clean it and holy @#%# my ring is f^ed up! I have no idea how this happens. I wear it all the time so I didn't notice what day it happened. I have been wearing it...
Hi everyone, We're toying with the idea of having an 'open mic' during the cocktail hour (which is actually two hours long, but that's beside the point). The idea is that anyone who wants to get up to...
After looking at florists, we've pretty much determined we'll have to do DIY flowers for the wedding. We simply cannot afford a florist (and I even thought our flower budget was generous...). I've...
My fiance and I have been looking at what seems like a thousand barn venues and unfortunately they have all been either very expensive or will not hold the number of guests we would like (for both...
