I realize the answer to this varies, I’m just hoping to hear some feedback ladies. I’m wondering how far back in friendships I should/can go to invite to my wedding? (Before it’s awkward?) I have...
So I want to find a cute way to ask my bridesmaids that isn't a gift because I feel like that puts too much pressure on them. I found some cute ideas but any ideas are appreciated!

Another tipping question! I am wondering how much your DJ costs, and how much you were planning on tipping him/her. My DJ works for a company, so I do plan on tipping him, but I am unsure how much (I...
Hey y'all. My mom called me today and said that she's currently planning my bridal shower for late-March/early April. However
To put it simply, I would never let my father "give me away." He's not even invited to the wedding. I'm not very close to mom, so I wouldn't consider her either. Is it wrong of me to want to walk...
Hi, please tell me what you are doing for mother of the bride and groom for the ceremony. Do they get bouquets or corsages? I’m not sure the etiquette and it’s been a 1000 years since I’ve been to a...
