Our ceremony is at 4 pm. Is that the time we put on our invitation? Or can I put 330 so people are there on time? We are getting married at a winery so if people do get there early they can have a...

So I've been with my FH for 10 years. I know his family SUPER well and we are close. They recently said to FH that they will pay for what is expected of them for the wedding, just tell them what that...

So I'm hearing a dog whining outside my apartment (like when you crate train, that type of whine) I'm distracted with homework but after 30min in I realize this has not stopped. I go out and find my...

Here's the deal: We are doing a small gluten-free cake for FH, myself and a few relatives with gluten allergies. Everyone else has the option of two kinds of cupcakes. Well, I'm freaking out now...

Has anyone just given the bridesmaids a swatch of the color you want and told them a length and let them have at it? What were your results? Do you have pictures? I really just want all my girls to be...

Neither my maid of honor, or the best man are particularly comfortable speaking in front of a large crowd (approx 180 guests) and would prefer to not make a speech. Do you think it will be acceptable...

I'm in need of some advice. FH and I are having our ceremony and reception at the same place. Only weddings I've been to were church then reception. And that was the groomsmen/groom in one limo, BM,...
