Ceremony vs Reception

FAQ Examples from Your Wedding Website?

Nicole's comment about not being given any information ahead of time on a duet plated entree made me realize we should probably put the menu somewhere. Our invitations say to alert us of any dietary...

How formal did you address save the dates?
rica, on February 21, 2018 at 8:45 AM

My save the dates are very simple, rather inexpensive cards. Would it look silly to address them with the same formality of an invitation? i.e.: using titles, spelling out the state, etc. Would it...

Amy, on February 22, 2018 at 10:36 AM

I'm not committed to this idea but is it too informal to hand a save the date (in envelope with their names on it) to people you'll see in person as long as you don't do it around others? It's a great...
