FH and I had lunch with FILs yesterday and went over some last minute details such as taking home gifts on the wedding night as we are leaving Sunday for the honeymoon. So FH asks them to grab any...
How can I word it in my invitations/info card to bring cash for the valet services? Should I just say "discounted valet service"
On my way to work, there was the topic on a Detroit radio station about the tackiness of dollar dances which made me happy haha because they were talking about how awkward it is for guests, have the...

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...
My bestfriend just got her invitations done and I don't know why but for the first time I noticed that her name was first. I have never seen a bride's name first on invites and programs at...
I have 5 BMs - two friends from high school, two friends from college, and FSIL. They're planning a weekend in Chicago for the bachelorette party in October, which I am totally pumped for! However, I...

Hi ladies! So we are trying to word our wedding invitation and having trouble on what to include in the directions. We have guests coming in from all over. I know most people use GPS now but what do...
You may or may not remember a thread about a "Hallo-wedding" FH and I were invited to on 9/29/15....its in the bride's parent's barn and guests are requested/encouraged to dress up in costume....we...
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...
Hey all... I was just hoping for some opinions on wearing my dress and my husband wearing his tux... we are having a cocktail party to share our elopement with family and friends. Thoughts? TIA!
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...
We got married on May 16th, and just got back from the Honeymoon yesterday. Pro pictures will not be in until next week at the very earliest, if not longer. Would you wait and hope the pro pics came...

FH is a HUGE New York Rangers fan and has been his entire life. We've gone to NY a couple times to see them play. It costs us around $700-$1000 to go down for a weekend, because we drive...
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...
