My girls took me on an incredible weekend getaway this past weekend. Somewhere within driving distance, and paid for two nights at a house rental, and one of my dinner meals amongst other things. I'd...
I already know the answer to this, but has anyone else had this struggle? I have a TON of aunts and uncles. They all have a TON of kids, (well they're adults). From a couple of the aunts, I see their...
I was thinking about having a childrens table, but they are all different ages so it wouldn't really work. When do you give them their own seat? One of the FH's kids is only like 3, but I feel like he...

My bridal shower was this past Sunday and I am doing thank you cards today. Should they be sent from myself and FH or just from me?
Not sure about this need only kindly advice. Does RSVP and Invitations go out the same day perhaps in the same envelope? Just planning ahead of time want to do this right not doing this yet . Should...
Half vent, half question: So currently, we have been told that my FH's parents are not attending. They have been skirting around the "wording" but to get to the real point is, they do not support our...
Anyone here NOT making a wedding registry? We aren't, as we live together and have things already, but we are saving for a house. I DONT EXPECT GIFTS, as I am just happy to have people come and spend...
Hi ladies! I'm just a m.o.b. looking for some clarification on the role of ushers vs groomsmen. My daughter is utilizing this role in her wedding and in my day, the groomsmen did the ushering. So...
So I've seen a lot of posts with people worried about guests wearing too casual attire at their receptions. I just had the opposite problem crop up. A guest just mentioned that he needed to get...
How do you do the line up for your bridal party. I have my sister, 4 step sisters, future sister in law and 4 close friends. What order do you put them in?
I'm planning a shower for my friend and now I'm rethinking things. Is self catering a shower ok? Hot roast beef sandwiches, meatballs and baked ziti made by those hosting. potato salad, pasta salad...
Hi everyone! I'm just wondering about the proper way to fill out place cards for seating. Do we write out both names for married couples or just "Mr. & Mrs. X?" If the latter, I have a tricky...
