In your coke? We will be stocking our own bar and I am doing 2 different liquor drinks but I do NOT drink whiskey so I have no idea on this one. Also would like to be cost friendly (not bottom shelf...
I'm having a destination wedding in 2016 in Jamaica. I realize this is a lot to ask of guests so I understand and accept that some may not be able to attend. So I'm having an at home celebration for...
Hi all, We are having our wedding at a venue that doesn't do a sit down dinner. People go to different booths to get their food so it's more of a "grazing" dinner while people dance. I know in the...
DH and I just received a thank you note for a wedding gift (we were not able to attend the wedding since it was a week after our own). The thank you note was actually a small photo postcard with a...
Hi Ladies, Happy Friday! Just a random thought.. Anyone else here think engagement parties are unnecessary? If your friends or family host one.. it's a super nice gesture and nothing wrong with that!...
What is required of a bridesmaid? When I was asked to be in my friend's wedding a few years ago, I assumed two things. I have to get a dress and I have to help out with the bridal shower. My wedding...
This is just a short rant, but someone posted a thread about thank you cards and it reminded me. I’ve been to probably 10 weddings total (all within the last 3 years) which may not be a lot? I’m not...
Is there a timeline in which you should get engagement photos taken? We got engaged in November and our wedding is in July - Part of me wants to wait until spring but is that too long to wait? TIA
I am just wondering because a lot of the other ladies on here can't feel my pain because they get married locally and on Saturdays (the norm). I want to hear from some women who have done the "none...
So my parents have been divorced since I was young--and my mom never switched back to her maiden name. My fiancé would like programs for our ceremony and I'm wondering how to list my parents so it...
We're having our wedding in Portland where we both currently live. Neither of us are from here, so it's turned into somewhat of a "destination" wedding for everyone. All but a handful of our friends...
So this is an offshoot of another discussion. Someone mentioned it's rude to include something in the invitation that lets your guests know where you are registered. What do you guys think? Every...
Hello, I need some advice on what's the best way or if it's even possible to cancel a catholic church location for the ceremony. We are about half way through our marriage counseling classes, but we...
My father has always had very politically incorrect viewpoints, and will argue with anyone who asks him not to be extremely vocal about them. My fiance and I do not share these viewpoints in any way,...
How long before you wait to contact people for RSVP's? Half of my guest list is awesome, and I can't tell if the other half is just assuming it's obvious that they're coming or they don't find it...
My future mother in law is a very sweet women, but very socially awkward. She has some mental health issues that allows her to bring her dog with her everywhere. Side note: her dog is an emotional...
Hello Everyone! Okay I'm not sure if you will be able to give me advice! I'm not sure if I need to invite my father to my wedding. Heres a little back story, growing up my father and I got along...
Hello! I've been looking at invitations (prematurely, of course), and I realized that my ceremony location is a park, which doesn't have an official address! The venue is easy enough to find with a...
Has anyone ever heard of sending out RSVP reminders? I keep hearing brides venting about only receiving 50% of their RSVP's back. So I was thinking of sending out reminders the day after our RSVP's...
Hey guys. On etsy or pinterest or one of those websites, I saw this cute little information card. On the very top it said "Call Anyone But The Bride" and then listed phone numbers of the wedding...
