Etiquette for single guests
Lucio@Last, on March 3, 2017 at 9:36 PM

I just want to start off by saying I'm pretty new still and sorry in advance if this is an old question. For single guests and bridal party members, they automatically get a plus one, correct? And...

NWR: adding name to house deed?
Carissa Brittney, on March 2, 2017 at 9:08 PM

When FH and I decided to move in together, he chose to buy a house. He has a few years on me and a much better paying job, and was able to save enough for a down payment. Because we were not yet...

Bridesmaids standing VS sitting?
Merly , on January 29, 2016 at 10:26 AM

I'm trying to figure out if I want to have my girls (2) sitting during the ceremony or standing next to me. I'm kinda OCD so I don't know after standing for a while they will be fidgeting or not. I...

Bridal shower gifts?
FutureMrsAF, on March 2, 2017 at 8:51 PM

Second post of the night! I have my FSIL's bridal shower next week, she and I aren't all that close and I'm assuming I was only invited because I'm engaged to her brother. I'm not sure what to get...

NymphPoet, on March 2, 2017 at 3:55 PM

So y'all, this may be an odd question but has anyone gone or is going through changing both your and your FH's last name after the wedding? FH and I mutually decided that we would both change our last...

tinyred15, on March 2, 2017 at 12:52 PM

As the title suggests, I'm getting a little annoyed with a friend of mine. I'm being a bit petty about it, but really just need to vent. She got married last year and I attended two of her bridal...

Mic for Officiant?
Jackie, on March 2, 2017 at 10:17 AM

Are you having one? Our ceremony room is not that big and our officiant has a pretty loud voice. Weddings I have attended did not have a mic. It will cost me extra to rent from venue.

BridalBethany, on March 1, 2017 at 7:34 PM

We are paying our organist and bagpiper and singer to be at our rehearsal. I was under the impression we needed to invite them to the dinner as well but my mom said I probably don't have to. She said...
