So my fiancé has two nephews. They will be the only two children at the wedding. By the time of the wedding, the oldest will be three and a half and the younger will be one and a half. Originally, the...
I want to get a lace-trim veil, sort of like a mantilla style veil. But the dress I ordered has a lace pattern on it that is unique and I can't find anything similar. Is it fine if the lace on the...
We're having two options for dinner, but they're going to be served buffet style. Should we list the options on the rsvp card so we can get a count and let people know what they'll be eating?
So last night FH and I were discussing the reception. The garter toss part came up and he wanted to know what song we'd play before the actual toss while he goes under my dress to "retrieve" it. Well...
I know this is far in advance, but my friends and family members have mentioned this to me and I don't know this works. I know that "traditionally", the bride will walk down the aisle to her groom....
My boyfriend surprised me about a month ago and asked me to marry him. I have been the happiest person in the world, my family and all my friends are very excited and supportive. They love him as much...
My relationship with my father is not good. There were several years through most of high school and college that I refused to have any contact with him. I only have minimal contact with him now so...
If you are getting married in a Catholic Church. What song did u guys use for your entrance song? Was it beautiful?or can you give me some ceremony song ideas at all? I would like to head some...
My MOH asked for my bridal shower guest list yesterday. I called my mom and asked if I should invite my two cousin's fiances. She said absolutely. I've only met each one once but I have them as...
I've been trying to figure out what to do for a rehearsal dinner! We're getting married at the end of October, and my parents suggested hosting a bonfire where we could grill burgers and roast hot...
I know the old tradition is that the groom doesn't see the bride before the wedding.... But with things becoming less traditional, just wondering what everyone's take is on sleeping arrangements the...
My side is ethnic, his side is not. I want to offer something to explain my family's traditions but not much is out there since we are a rare breed. I found this article, though, which is cute and...
Hi all! I have gone back and forth on this and while I was once set on doing the visiting tables during the reception to thank guests and say hello, I am now leaning toward standing at the back of the...
I was going over my to-do list and I need to buy thank you gifts for the hosts of my bridal shower that is in a couple weeks and it got me thinking, do I need to get thank you gifts for the...
As I was reading another thread this thought came to me so I figured I'd ask the WW community. When it comes to wedding buffets, is the amount of food available moreso for a variety of options per...
We are on the hunt for a decently affordable (Under $3,500 preferably) rehearsal dinner for space in the downtown Seattle area that can accommodate up to 45 people. I know. I'm crazy. My FH's...
After the first dance with FH, should I wait to dance with my father, mother, step-father, and my FH with his mother or do them in order after one another? I don't want to mess he flow of the wedding...
I am getting tired of this question! I love children, don't get me wrong, but the invitation just says your and your guest's name. I think it's a bit rude for people to ask or assume that their...
I don't want any bridesmaids (too many girls on both sides of the family to choose from, and FH has slim pickings for friends)...and I don't know many people that I'd actually WANT to have as...
Alright so I'll admit it..I used to be so anti-bouquet and garter toss. I wanted to do an anniversary dance to honor my grandparents, but now my grandparents sadly cannot come due to my Papa's health,...
