Sara, on April 24, 2017 at 2:28 AM

My bridal shower is next weekend should MOH send out a friendly reminder to everyone that will be attending? I have a couple of friends who couldn't remember the date or time.

No registry?
Aqualeo, on April 24, 2017 at 12:07 AM

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...

Send Invite to someone who can't come?
Vanessa, on April 23, 2017 at 4:36 PM

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...

Strange situation re: best man's date
A. L., on April 23, 2017 at 10:43 AM

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...

Eloping after wedding is planned?
Julianne, on April 22, 2017 at 9:58 PM

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...

Venue won't let us do a tasting
Jamie, on April 21, 2017 at 8:21 PM

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...

Name change starting to loom
Meagen, on April 21, 2017 at 10:15 AM

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...

Escort cards & Unknown Guests
Rachael, on April 6, 2017 at 11:04 AM

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...

Wedding Gap Timeline
RAG, on April 21, 2017 at 9:54 AM

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...

Would it be rude to send wedding announcements to those not invited to a small wedding?
A.Magill.Since.May, on April 21, 2017 at 12:52 PM

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...

Father of the bride/groom
HappilyEverConforti, on April 18, 2017 at 3:22 PM

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...

Worrying about RSVPs?
Kendra, on April 20, 2017 at 9:54 PM

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...

SHINY OBJECTS, on January 19, 2017 at 7:45 PM

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...
