Discussions from Etiquette and Advice

Etiquette. Is the bride responsible for paying for the bridesmaids hair to get done along with makeup if any? This includes mother of the bride as well. Would appreciate opinions on this. I want to...

Sunday afternoon Bridal showers are so boring and awkward to me. Would it be odd if I suggested a coed Saturday night or Friday night shower, where we would serve heavy appetizers and cocktails? Would...

I have to ask neutral parties--is it unreasonable to ask a sibling to not bring a date to your bridal shower? My sister has a new girlfriend, whom I have met twice, but I don't really know her yet....

I have always planned on not having my FH see me in my dress before the wedding ceremony (I'm fine if we see each other before we get ready, before I'm in my dress) because I really want that first...

I'm not even sure how to word this. I'm MOH for my SIL wedding in May. She has 9 bridesmaids, including me, in her wedding party. We are all hosting a bridal shower for her on April 9. SIL has been...

I am having a discussion with my friend & she wants to throw me a shower. She is talking about inviting several people who are not invited to the wedding. I am against it, she thinks it's ok. What's...

FH thinks that once we put people at a table, it will be set in stone, so he wants to get the escort cards professionally printed, 3 weeks before the wedding. I said that in my experience in helping...

I thought tiered receptions were WW lore created as another thing for the etiquette police to bash. Not true folks, tiered receptions are alive and well! Holy hell, my BFF just got an invitation to...

Stupid question that's probably been asked before... Do I need to put "Person I know and Guest" on the outside of the envelope that I'm mailing, or just put "We've reserved 2 seats for you" on the...

Sorry probably a stupid question but does the officiant stay around after the ceremony for the meal? Back home a priest is often invited to the reception for dinner and they eat the same as everyone...

Is it acceptable for a bride to host her own bridal luncheon? I know exactly what I want for my bridal luncheon (nothing crazy, just afternoon tea at a specific tea parlor), and it seems weird to ask...

My parents have generously offered to pay for our whole wedding, which is no small feat for where we live and the type of wedding we are having! We are so incredibly greatful but... How much say do we...

My MOH is throwing us an engagement party and asked for a guest list. Do we invite out of town friends and family, even if we don't expect them to come? They are people that are on the wedding invite...

So my sister is my MOH BUT she is completely unsupportive. I am not a bridezilla, I don't boss her around or treat her poorly. She lives in another state so I don't ask a lot of her, except for her...
