I have picked all my attendants and ring bearer but still can't find a flower girl. I'd like to include my FH's sister in the wedding who will be 11 at the time but I don't like the idea of a junior...
My FH and I were wondering if we should invite our pastor to our reception. He is doing our ceremony and we attend church with him every Sunday. And if we should invite him should we invite his wife...
Our invitation suite is semi-informal and the invitations themselves are large, so we aren't using inner envelopes. We are also having an adult-only reception. When I ordered our invitations, it never...
FH and I are in disagreement about the dress for the wedding. I would like to have a black tie wedding (hey, you only do it once!), but FH does not want to put any pressure on those who might have a...
DH and I are attending a vow renewal in a few weeks. The couple originally had a drive-thru Vegas wedding several years ago. The vow renewal is a big shebang at a country club with open bar and dj. As...
Has anyone not done a rehearsal dinner? We aren't planning on a rehearsal dinner. Our venue is 2.5 hours out of town, we check in at 3pm and guests anytime after 4pm. Everyone staying with us at the...
Is there's such a thing? My friend is getting married a little over a month from now and things are flying off her registry. I want to get her a decent sized gift since her family has been very...
We are three (OMG THREE!!) days out from the big day, and people who had begged us to be invited, with a plus one, are flaking like crazy!! Okay one had a legitimate excuse, but these people just...
My FI and I are getting married September 20th. We have had our bridal party picked out since February. In the last few months we began to see problems emerge between one of the bridesmaids and her...
So I've very pale and I start to burn in the mid-day sun around 20-30 minutes, tops. My FH is actually, somehow, even paler than me - and he burns 5-10 minutes faster than I do. Our wedding venue has...
I don't really want to go to a club/bar and my two MOH's are breast feeding. My other 3 BM's will be down for whatever. Any ideas? I live in central PA.
This is a challenging etiquette situation. I'm having a destination wedding because my fiance and I are from different countries. I sent out invites asking guests to rsvp within 2.5 months of wedding...
I really love almond cake with raspberry filling, but is that ba to have as the wedding cake? What cake flavor are you having?
Or are we supposed to do it for them? We're supposed to write their return addresses on the response card envelopes, right?
Are you inviting just enough people so that in the event that EVERYONE is a *Yes* you will have comfortable space for them, or are you inviting more than you can accommodate *knowing* you will get...
One of my future bridesmaid's birthday is coming up in a week. As I'm shopping of her birthday gift, I'm thinking whether it would make sense to "combine" the gifts and turn it into a pop-the-question...
As the bride or groom, are you going to cover up/take out your tattoos and piercings? Would you ask members of the wedding party to do so?
I'm really thinking about not ordering/making wedding programs. Our ceremony will be short (under 30 mins), not in a church, and no one other than the officiant will be speaking during the ceremony....
I have a very close set of friends who I have chosen to be in my wedding (4) to be exact and I have known all of them for at least ten years. ALL of them, I repeat, ALL of them have bailed on me...
