My FH and I have been living with my parents. We planned to start house hunting sometime after the wedding so that we wouldn't be too stressed financially. But we would love to get out of my parents...
Our wedding was Sunday and it was beautiful except for our DJ who kept messing things up. Not playing the ceremony music on time when I gave certain instructions when to start playing,...
Is it odd to offer a full open bar for a lunch reception? I just found out today it might be possible to have our bar open the whole reception instead of 3 out of 4 hours (YAY!!!). My friend thought...
Is 16 months too young to be a flower girl?
Okay, so this is the only picture I found of my dress online and of course you can't see it here, but in red I showed where it would be. The dress has see-through/skin colored fabric in the chest and...
So FH and I both have seperate close male friends that we've been friends with for years. They are all in long term relationships (one engaged and one married even). My girls are starting to plan my...
So I don't know if I'm over reacting because people say I shouldn't have a big wedding( I didn't with my first because it was a last minute decision) but I want my day to be special and really want it...
My Maid of Honor and I have been friends for over 13 years. When I got engaged she just assumed that she was going to be my maid of honor. I really did not want to hurt her feelings because I knew she...
For the record I'm not keen on the idea. We would plan to have the reception start 45 minutes to an hour from the end of the ceremony so there'd be no real "gap" other than travel time. I just feel...
Starting to get quotes for wedding guest transportation from our blocked hotel to the ceremony/reception venue. The quotes have a HUGE range - and some specifically mention that driver gratuity is not...
We are having a beach ceremony and as you can imagine it will be hard to hear. Our coordinator suggested against a mic because in the past they tend to pick up the sound of the wind and ocean more so...
The title says it all! Should we have a champagne toast, or should we just let people toast with the drink that they have? The champagne toast would be an additional $255. If it's needed, I'll...
Our wedding was Sunday and we actually were in quite a bit of shock of those who didnt bring a card or a gift? Not to mention receiving $105 from a wealthy family of 4. And not even a card from...
I want my best friend's mother and sister to sing in my wedding. They both have extraordinary voices! I am looking for a creative way to ask them. I used the card pictured below to ask my Bridesmaids....
I received the first rude comment on the size of my diamond today. Hearts on Fire (the company that made my engagement ring) shared one of my photos and one fine gentlemen decided to share his...
Wondering who's name goes first and what names (full, just first, first and middle)? The premade one has the grooms first and last then the brides first and last. When I looked online it says bride...
This is a second wedding. We were both married previously. Our first weddings were 20 years ago...so this is not a twice in a few years thing. Lol. The thing is, I wasn't planning on a registry. We...
Is anyone giving favors at the rehearsal dinner? I was thinking of getting bottle openers made or wine glasses to give out? I know it seems over the top but everyone there will be close friends and...
Has anyone else had guests show up with kids even though they knew know kids were invited to the wedding? We're having no kids and my niece has a 5 yr old daughter and I was told by her sister that...
