I had a great idea to put a space on the RSVP for song requests. We have gotten a few RSVP's back(yay) and FH and I have cringed at some of the songs. Would it be rude to play the less desired songs...
We are having 3 protein choices. For most of our invites, they are for a household. My aunt has 5 kids! How do we get all their choices on one card? Do people know to number them off or something?...
I figured while I was on this board I would get your opinions on this... FH and I have not decided yet on whether we want a traditional head table or a sweetheart table. I know there are pros and cons...

Hello ladies, I need your help sorting out a little rehearsal dinner dilemma. My FH fam is paying for the dinner, so his mom suggested to have parents, bridal party, and his aunt and uncle. She has...
Our DOC was provided by our venue and our venue contract included gratuity. Actually, I was told venue owner not to tip any of his staff (except for bartenders) because it was already included in our...
I got a wedding invitation in the mail yesterday. I just checked out the couples website, and in the section about the ceremony, it states that the site is small, and a bit uneven, so seating will be...

One of my bridesmaids was asked to stand up in another wedding. On the same day as mine. She was asked quite a long time after I asked her. I am struggling because I know how good of friends she is...
FH and I have lived together for almost 4 years when we get married and we honestly don't have anything that we need for a registry. Instead of asking for gifts we would like to have our registry so...
What's the etiquette on this? Are FH and i just supposed to sit at the front of the room facing everyone like a couple of Lannisters? What are we supposed to do?
If the vendor doesn't specify in the contract whether or not they require a meal, should I still count one for them, or at least ask? Some of my vendors have it in the contract and some don't. I don't...
Both my and FH's parents are generously contributing to our wedding and we'll be giving each set of parents dinner at a really nice restaurant as a thank you. My Aunt (Mom's sister) who I'm very close...
