Is it inconsiderate to not do a room block?
Wendy, on June 17, 2014 at 6:12 PM

I 'm not doing a room block and wondering if people will find that rude of me. We do have quite a few OOT guests but our wedding is only a 5 minute drive from 6-8 different hotels. I've researched and...

No wedding registry
Kerry, on March 3, 2018 at 4:55 PM

We are thinking about not doing a wedding registry. Is there a polite way to say on the invitation that there is no wedding registry and we just want cash?

Does it matter which side the bride stands on?
NoMore, on September 15, 2015 at 9:55 AM

Is there some kind of rule for this? I noticed that in the majority of the pictures, the bride is standing on the left side with her bridesmaids off to the side/behind her but does it even matter?
