Emily, on November 14, 2017 at 9:29 AM

Welp, I got thrown a curveball and recently found out I'm pregnant. We're happy, it's what we've always wanted (although preferably after the wedding). It's too early to tell everyone but I need to...

What exactly is a guest of honor?
Rae, on November 10, 2017 at 10:08 PM

I've just been seeing the term float around during some of my wedding research and it's a little confusing, what does being a guest of honor entail? Is it just an empty title?

What do you think about paperless invites? Like text, Evite ... opinions? Is it tacky or do you find it eco friendly? It has come to thought, but I don't know if it will look bad. Invitations are...
