Hello everyone , so with 5 months to the wedding my FH and I decided something crazy. We are canceling the big wedding and having a private family only and close friends wedding and we are moving it...

I see a ton of people complaining(rightfully so) about getting blank RSVPs back. I get it, like how hard is it to write your name people!!! However, can't you just print out small return labels for...

How do you politely tell your guests that cell phones aren't allowed during the ceremony? You can disagree with me wanting this for my wedding, but I'm going to be paying good money for a professional...

Strangely, and surpsingl, FH's coworkers (who barely speak to him) threw a mini shower for him at his work meeting this morning, and gifted him a few items from our registry. I asked him to make sure...

Hey guys! Just looking for some advice on what to get my parents. The wedding is 6 weeks away. I asked what my brother what he thought about a pocket watch with engraving for my dad (it was on etsy...

I always thought it was best man and MOH but a quick Google search is giving me all kinds of different answers. Is it rude if parents don't make a toast? Do FH and I have to make one? What is everyone...

Most of our families will travel 2-4 hours for our wedding. Most of our friends are in-town. We're expecting 50-75 people to make the trip. I'd like to host them on Friday night as well, but obviously...

I am so thankful not all churches behave this way. I'm so angry for this woman and disappointed that FH's family still chooses to attend this place. FH's ex-roommate got married at the church today,...

A little back story...Growing up, I didn't see him after I was 7 (and before then it was rare) until about 3 or 4 years ago at my sister's wedding. At first, I didn't care to make an effort in having...

This is kind of a rant but also to see if anyone else has felt this way. My mom is planning my wedding and we got a big fight yesterday. The reason is so irrelevant. And shes a beautician so she also...

FILs are hosting and we're only including our WP and family members to the Rehearsal Dinner. On the RD invite, do we need to specifically list out "RSVP by 'this date'"? Or can it just say "RSVP:...

I know I've been posting A LOT lately but I got one more question for y'all. We're getting married at a hotel. The cost for 3 night's stay at the hotel is $ 565. I've been worried because some...

I have a feeling I already know the answer but just wanted to make sure! One of my bridesmaids (got engaged after me) is getting married two months before me. She is in a completely different state...

Hi everyone! Having trouble picking our most important people to participate in the wedding (readers, bringing up gifts, etc). What do you think is more special? Bringing up gifts or doing a reading?...

I am the middle child. My older brothers are complete opposites. I get along great with my oldest brother, but my other older brother ? NOT AT ALL. Ever since were were little kids, he was always...

Hello! Our wedding invitations are going out next Monday, so I'm trying to finalize them in the next couple of days. We have three cousins who are in somewhat ambiguous relationships: one who we've...

After getting engaged I've began researching vendors for hair & makeup, photography, etc. Nevertheless, it's becoming so frustrating that a large amount of the vendors do not include a portfolio with...

My cousin just recently started dating someone and I wanted to be fair and include everyone's significant others on their invitations but I didn't think to invite her because everyone else's plus ones...

I was just a MOH in a wedding this weekend where the photographer was the brides SIL. Please please please do NOT do this! Her SIL/Photographer was over an HOUR late, she didn't listen to what the...

I'm leaning towards not having a bouquet (small wedding, no wedding party) but I'm having a hard time imagining what that would look like in reality. Does anybody have any photos of a bride without a...
