Is it ok to not have a registry? I'm not having a shower and I know it's rude to include that information on the invitations so I'm not sure how people would even know about it if we did one. We also...
My fiancé and I are getting married in August and I was wondering if I could just change my last name beforehand. He is bristish and living in England while I am American and living in Michigan. After...

I finally got our wedding pics back yesterday! Yay!! (BAM to come) but I'm debating the best way to share our pics with loved ones...Our Photographer sent an online gallery that has ALL the wedding...
We already sent out STDs and have started to hear from a few people that can't come. Do we still send them invites to be nice and get the official "no" or invite others in their place? Does it look...
We've been engaged 11 months, and the entire time, FH has said that Best Man was not bringing anyone to the wedding. Fine, no problem. Invitations go out, and now Best Man is bringing someone. Not...
There are only two people invited who didn't have a partner at the time of invites going out (no plus one's on invites) RSVPs have been returned and now, 3mths before the wedding, I have someone...
So with 69 days to go, I've kind of been thinking about eloping instead of having the traditional ceremony. I posted a few days ago about all of my family issues and I feel like this would be the best...
We picked an all inclusive venue to make things easier. During our initial consultation I asked about doing a tasting, and our coordinator said they do restaurant nights and gave me an approximate...
We hit the six-month mark today (yay!) and it really hit me that I only have six more months with my last name. I'm absolutely changing it; It means a lot to FH, plus I have no relationship with my...
For our reception we are doing escort cards and my question is for those guests who bring a plus one that's (relatively) a stranger, what do we put on the escort card if we do not know their name? I'm...
I noticed a lot of people have a very strong opinion on a gap between ceremony and reception. I live in NY and have been to about 8 weddings and they all had about a 4 hour gap. So I'm just curious,...
I'm just over a year and a half away from the wedding date. We have been engaged for a year and a half already but family members on his side keep asking for a date. When we tell them how far away it...
My guest list is currently at 130 people, which is actually shaved down immensely from the original aggregated list. My budget isn't cooperating with my guest list very well (it could work if I just...
What's the standard for rentals for the father of the bride/groom? Should they match the wedding party (i'm thinking no) or should they be totally different? Should they include any of the wedding...
Our invitations went out a month ago. Our "rsvp by" date isn't for another two weeks, but I'm getting nervous because less than half of the guests have responded. I know they have a bit more time but...
So I just wanted to get opinions on a situation I am currently in. I asked my friend of years to be my MOH, she of course said yes. She recently got engaged and her wedding is occurring before mine,...
I'd like some advice on passable etiquette for invitations. I went casual with the stds, but the invitations are more formal, so I do want to follow etiquette somewhat. However the completely...
