Chrissy, on February 13, 2023 at 9:10 PM

My MOH is great. We have been friends for years and I love her lots, but we aren't the closest and she is a bit sensitive so I have a bit of trouble speaking directly with her. I want to start off by...

Has anyone ever had a coin bridal shower? If so what did the guests think of it and how did you let them know what it was? I really want to do one instead of a regular bridal shower because my fiance...

You know... A lot of these posts make me super sad. I don't think it's ok to invite biological nieces/nephews or brothers/sisters and not invite step versions of those same ones. ESPECIALLY when...

Erin, on April 24, 2017 at 9:24 AM

Posting this for my friend as we were wedding chatting last night. She didn’t give a high school friend a plus one, she’ll know a lot of people at the wedding. My friend never met her friends new...

skipping the proposal
I need a nickname, on June 29, 2011 at 12:36 AM

Is it awkward to invite co-workers and not their spouses?
Samantha, on December 10, 2022 at 6:48 PM

Should you involve your future Brother/sister in-laws in your wedding planning?
Alyssa, on February 5, 2023 at 9:08 PM

Penny for your thoughts. I’ve gotten mixed feelings towards my situation, or should I say, past situation. I was not involved/invited in any planning, shopping, bridesmaids, or bachelorette party...

How late is too late to ask someone to stand up in your wedding?
Julija, on February 1, 2023 at 5:21 PM

So I have been sitting on the fence about asking 2 girls to stand with me since I got engaged. Both are amazing humans, but I wasn't sure how close they felt to me so I've been waiting and for a while...

Hi there! My shower is in a couple weeks but we have started receiving gifts (shower invites have not gone out yet as far as I know). When do you send a thank you note for gifts received early?
