Parents Crazy demands
MrsM., on March 27, 2015 at 10:50 AM

So is there something crazy that your parents or inlaws are demanding for the wedding? For instance, my FILs are demanding that my FH shave his beard for the wedding. We have decided that he will have...

Has anyone ever done Signature Shots?
Dr. & Mrs. R, on March 27, 2015 at 10:31 AM

Our group likes to party... FIL's have a huge party every summer where people and family come from all over to be at. Sometimes a flight and hour drive away. It's one of the most talked about events...

Unique RSVP Methods??
Rhonda, on August 20, 2012 at 11:30 PM

Ok - so, I've heard many stories of guests not RSVPing through the mail on time (or in some cases not at all) which requires the bride and/or groom to call, email etc the MIA guests to find out...

Addressing Invites No Inner Envelope
Athena, on March 21, 2015 at 9:12 PM

So I can't figure out how to address invites to families with no inner envelopes... help?? Would it be Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, then the names of the kids OR The Smith Family?

Crazy hour?
Laura, on March 25, 2015 at 5:16 PM

On the thread about dancing, someone mentioned having a crazy hour. That sounds fun. Are you doing one? Have you been to weddings with one? What worked, what didn't? Also, I don't see any companies...

Melissa, on April 2, 2010 at 5:57 PM

The day I bought my dress, the woman at David's Bridal also had me try on wedding veils and jewelry. I didn't love any of the veils but the one I liked best was $200! I decided then that I...

Plus One Problems
Future Mrs. 27, on March 24, 2015 at 10:20 AM

It appears that a bunch of people are assuming that they can bring a plus one to our wedding and some of these people are not dating anyone. We are definitely inviting couples that have been together...

Do Invitations and RSVP's need to match?
Catherine , on March 24, 2015 at 3:06 PM

My FH and I can't agree on the design for our wedding invitations. So, I was thinking that we could each pick a design we like and use one for the invitations and one for the RSVP's. They would be the...

Dinnerware Rentals :/
Christina, on March 24, 2015 at 2:13 PM

Our caterer just gave us a quote for our dinnerware rentals and it was $1800. That seems high to me but I could just be delusional. Are any of you renting these items yourself? If you are, if...
