First, let me apologize if this subject has already been addressed. I am on the mobile app and I cannot search the topic. We have to use the DJ that is provided by our venue as the entertainment for...

Food Truck for Late Night Snack
bina1015, on January 7, 2015 at 10:37 AM

So I was thinking of getting a food truck for a late night snack for my guests. Has anyone done this before and if so, how did it work out? Any suggestions on how to contact them and get prices?

Only wine, champagne, and beer or open bar for a daytime wedding?
catsrock, on January 6, 2015 at 5:23 PM

The first option is cheaper, right? Which do you think will be better for the guests? I have no preference since I don't drink, but I do care about the money part.

Go to the salon or have them come to me??
Dr. & Mrs. R, on January 6, 2015 at 12:14 PM

Which worked better for you? I'm not sure what I'm doing on this yet. Not sure how my girls feel about wanting to do their own hair or get it done. (Haven't asked yet, I'm going to.) I cannot...

When do you tell your NEW employer you need time off for the wedding??
FutureMrsPrada, on January 5, 2015 at 6:30 PM

I just came across a situation that I really didn't see myself being in until after the wedding. Where I work now I've been there for 2+ years, even though I love the people I work with, what I do and...

Is your mother standing up with you after you walk down the aisle?
GrayCatVintage, on January 4, 2015 at 2:44 PM

Well it seems now that I might only have one BM - my cousin. My best friend informed my mother via FB (after my mother prodded her with a message) that she had a bunch of excuses and will probably not...

Here's the dilemma...We are only offering alcohol to our guests during the cocktail hour...thoughts?
lindsay, on January 5, 2015 at 3:56 PM

There are a few (a lot) of people on my fiances side of the family/friends that tend to go above and beyond when it comes to alcohol. We are pretty conservative and do not want a bunch of drunks at...

Officiant at Rehearsal?
Margaret, on January 4, 2015 at 8:33 PM

Did you hire your officiant to come to your rehearsal or just your ceremony? I definitely understand why you would want him/her there for it, but I can also see a situation where you can walk through...

Anyone chopping their train off?
Rachel Kay, on September 24, 2014 at 10:32 AM

Just curious. My seamstress offered this as an option during my first fitting, and since my second is this Saturday, figured I should possibly find some sort of answer. The two main reasons I'm...

How much for bridesmaids/groomsmen gifts?
Alicia, on January 4, 2015 at 6:01 PM

I saw a Knot article that said $75 - $150. If my wedding is about $18k total and we have 10 total maids and men in our party, what is reasonable? How much did y'all spend and what...

Groom attending bridal shower?
Megan Jo, on January 4, 2015 at 4:24 PM

I have heard mixed reviews...is the groom supposed to attend any of the shower? Some say yes, some say no, I've also heard only for the gift opening. What is etiquette? Also what have you ladies done...
