Asking bridesmaids at different times?
#Holler, on June 3, 2015 at 8:32 PM

Did y'all ask all of your bridesmaids around the same time? I'm anticipating some drama from friends who have openly assumed they're going to be in my wedding party who aren't, so I had planned to...

bring cash for valet parking....
Paola, on June 3, 2015 at 12:39 AM

How can I word it in my invitations/info card to bring cash for the valet services? Should I just say "discounted valet service"

xxxxxx, on June 2, 2015 at 2:54 PM

A couple of weeks ago, my fh's old friend texted him asking for our address so he could send an invitation to his wedding. I think we were D listed, which is fine with us. We know how it is with...

So, I just received a wedding invitation.
thejadecoast, on May 31, 2015 at 2:32 PM

I really just have to laugh. I received the invitation yesterday, May 30th. I open it and see that not only does the rsvp card not have a stamp on it, it says to respond by June 1st. They didn't...

Do we have to register at more than one store?
Lindsey, on June 1, 2015 at 9:45 PM

I think most, if not all, of what we register for we will find at one store. Is it proper etiquette to register at one store? Or do I need to have an option for our shower attendees?

Private User, on May 31, 2015 at 7:24 PM

We're having a medium sized wedding, and I am inviting all 38 people from work - I have to, because I can't just invite a couple or I'd never hear the end of it. And I don't really mind, as we both...

Invitations - RSVP cards vs online RSVP, will my guests get the point?
Amanda, on May 30, 2015 at 12:51 PM

We are looking to cut costs on invitations and all that goes with them, we're more on the side of casual elegance with a lot of fun. I'd like to just do a basic flat card for the invite, then make our...

JuleeM, on May 29, 2015 at 5:39 PM

We ordered this return address stamp for our STD and invites. Does anyone see a reason why we wouldn't want to also use it to address our RSVP envelopes? I don't know if if matters that it doesn't...
