Where did you register for lawn mowers and snow blowers?
bina1015, on April 9, 2015 at 12:22 PM

We decided to do majority of our wedding registry at BBY. The only problem is they don't sell gas lawn mower or gas snow blowers. Did did everyone else registry for these items?

How long to receive pictures back?
Charla, on April 9, 2015 at 1:14 PM

I messed up. I should have asked about how long it would take to get wedding pictures back. I haven't posted my BAM because I don't really have pictures to share (our ceremony was unplugged). I sent...

Song requests
Chelsea, on April 8, 2015 at 5:14 PM

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...

RSVP cards and menu choices for households
Amanda, on April 8, 2015 at 10:52 AM

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?...

Sweetheart Table or Head Table?
ChrisK126, on April 6, 2015 at 6:17 PM

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...

Do you post about your wedding on social media?
Trisha, on April 8, 2015 at 1:09 PM

I posted a few things on Facebook in the first couple weeks, but then I read somewhere it's rude to the people not invited to the wedding, which I totally agree with. Most of my Facebook friends are...

Gifts for Vendors
Charla, on April 8, 2015 at 1:05 PM

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...

Limited Seating
GeekyBride, on April 8, 2015 at 12:26 PM

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...

What can you dip in BBQ sauce?
Kendra, on April 7, 2015 at 11:46 PM

So, during cocktail hour, we're setting out a few apps. Nothing fancy, because we don't have a ton of money and because that's not the kind of wedding we're having. Anyway, my mom owns a fondue...

Charity Wedding Registry
Krystina, on April 7, 2015 at 8:15 AM

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...

SPINOFF: Seating with no bridal party?
purplekitten, on April 7, 2015 at 1:51 PM

Vendor meals
Crystal, on April 6, 2015 at 10:14 PM

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...
