Black Tie Optional Reality?
JulyPittsburghBride, on June 24, 2016 at 7:51 PM

Try though I might, I can't find any data on this. Does anyone know a rough idea of how guests show up when the invitation reads black tie optional? Do most guests do tuxedos? Do they just wear dark...

Money Tree..
KNB2016, on June 24, 2016 at 8:18 PM

I'm sure this has been asked but I can't search on the app. My FMIL is insisting we have a money tree at our shower and wedding. I HATE this idea. I feel like it's so tacky and I can't even think of a...

Cut off time for liquor
Amanda, on June 24, 2016 at 4:21 PM

Okay everyone. We all have those family members that take it way too far for drinking. I was thinking about eliminating hard liquor during the reception. Possibly have hard liquor during appetizers...

Registry cards in the invitations?
marissa, on March 7, 2011 at 12:29 PM

What's the etiquette on registry cards these days? We don't really have a website going and I don't have the time or patience to put together one currently before the invites go out. Can we put a...

My bridal shower is this Saturday. Wedding is in August. While doing some last-minute registry updates (Bed, Bath, and Beyond) I found a TON of stuff that we never put on there. Lots of candy, lip...

To keg or not to keg
Ladylove30047, on June 23, 2016 at 4:30 PM

OK so my bartender sent me the option of getting a keg of beer for $350 each or getting bottles for $4 each. I don't drink beer but that's one drink option so I'm trying to see if anyone...

Escort Cards?! Need so much help!
Ashley589, on June 23, 2016 at 2:40 PM

Alrighty so I've been meaning to make this post for a while. We have 3 entree options and 200 guests so assigned seats are required (I wanted them anyways). WEIRD, but I have NEVER been to a wedding...

My self esteem is lower than ever
Warrensarecool, on June 22, 2016 at 12:33 PM

I was on here a few days ago talking about bridal pictures and whether or not to do them. My family paid the price for them and so I was able to do it. Long story short...I hate them. There's a...

my sister is too young to be a maid of honor
Kari, on December 27, 2010 at 1:00 AM

My sister is 8 years younger than I am. I think that she is too young to be a maid of honor, but still a bridesmaid. The problem is I want to have 2 matron of honors. My best friend and my...

Where did you draw the line on your guest list?
Maui K, on June 22, 2016 at 12:06 AM

I'm having a hard time deciding where to draw the line when it comes to who to invite and who not to. FH and I were thinking about having 70 people maximum at our destination wedding in Hawaii. After...

Buffet Seating Plan?
Jovan, on June 18, 2016 at 12:32 PM

We are not doing a seating plan because we have a buffet styled menu. But can you do a seating plan even if ?

My engagement ring keeps breaking. Should I get a new one?
Christina, on June 20, 2016 at 2:35 PM

Hi all, my ring is non-traditional — a designer ring, not meant to be an engagement ring that my fiance had reset in white gold after a few stones came loose. The new metal helps, but the design...

Alternative to father-daughter dance
Christine , on June 20, 2016 at 11:06 AM

My father has two bad hips and two bad knees and uses a cane for support. On top of that he has myasthenia gravis so that impacts his mobility as well. Needless to say dancing is not something he will...
