9 Bridesmaids ~ Am I crazy?
JamieLynn, on March 22, 2015 at 11:10 AM

So, our wedding party is large. I have a maid and matron of honor, and 7 bridesmaids. FH also has 9. Our logic is that this is our day, and we want our best friends and family by our sides. I'm not...

Do I put wishing well reception or wishing well wedding on the reception response cards or add a blank note that says wishing well?

For those doing a Anniversary Dance...
Tammy, on March 19, 2015 at 11:49 AM

What song or songs did you use? The majority of our guests are older and married, (Mostly being in their 40's or older), so we are doing the anniversary dance and then giving the longest married...

I'm getting married on my family farm by the lake. Rustic theme; hay bails (covered in quilts so they won't stick anyone sitting on them), burlap and mason jars. I'm thinking about having a burlap...

I want to invite estranged father.
Robbie, on March 19, 2015 at 8:14 PM

I'll try to explain as best as I can. I'm the groom, and I hadn't seen my dad or grandmother in 12 years. Recently, I finally decided to see them behind my mother's back. It was great, and I've missed...

Did you have an engagement party?
Kiss_the_brides, on March 19, 2015 at 7:13 PM
