Hey everyone! This might be a silly question but FH is under the impression that the bride and groom are expected to toast at the wedding with thank you's to their parents and MOH and/or BM. While he...

Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to wedding wire and have been enjoying getting to know you through forums. I've had a few ups and downs with wedding planning, but have managed to iron things out...

Good Afternoon Ladies, I have several lady friends with their Dr. and want to invite them and their families (kids) to the wedding. Is the correct way to do it to write out the women's name and then...

Did you do a centerpiece or something else to dress up your cocktail tables? I am pricing things out and just wanted to see if it is a necessary expense. If you have pictures please post them, I would...

Are you having your first dance as a married couple before dinner (after you get introduced), or right after dinner?

I was curious what everyone purchased as a wedding gift for their spouse? My FH has always been impossible to shop for. He's not into watches and I hear buying shoes is bad luck. A couple of weeks ago...

I would like to hear about some gifts that were given to parents (mob/mog), grandparents, aunts, uncles, or those who have helped with the wedding in general. Thanks!
