Rude remarks about my e-ring...
ValZtoB, on June 5, 2014 at 10:11 AM

Best site for photobooks?
krisalicious, on May 27, 2012 at 10:18 PM

Just wondering if there's a consensus. Mixbook? Are there any other upload/printing companies with good templates that people like to use over other sites? I'm mildly obsessed with our HM photos at...

LisaKitty, on June 13, 2014 at 5:30 PM

So FH and I decided to host an engagement party, very casual potluck style affair at our house. Actually, it was more of our using the engagement as an excuse to throw a party, since we love to...

Open bar, cash bar, limited bar?
Munkos, on June 13, 2014 at 9:27 AM

I know this is a sticky subject since it's considered bad etiquette to do a cash bar or drink tickets - but what is everyone planning on doing to cut the costs and what kind of bar are you having?

Open seating or assigned seating?
Brandi, on June 12, 2014 at 12:44 AM

We planned on having open seating for the guests. The plan was to have a wedding party table and 2 tables for immediate family. Mostly just to ensure that my great grandmother and our grandparents had...

Sterling silver wedding bands?
Finally mrs.jkr, on June 10, 2014 at 8:53 PM

I have to search for my band super early.... my ring is oddly shaped and really hard to find a band to go with it, unless completely custom-which I do not want to do. I'll end up doing something nice...

Outdoor Wedding Ready Room?
Private User, on June 9, 2014 at 6:09 PM

We're planning an outdoor wedding, but I'm not sure how to keep myself hidden from the groom before walking down the aisle. Also, where did you get ready beforehand if there's no building on site? Any...

Helen, on June 10, 2014 at 6:00 PM

What is the proper order of dances at the reception? Is it bride and groom first -- and then father of the bride? Or??? And after that?

Married Ladies..Were you able to talk to your guest?
Hibrides123!!, on June 5, 2014 at 10:28 AM

I've been to 2 weddings and the bride and groom never came by to say hello to their guest. Honestly, as a guest, it makes you feel unappreciated. One of the weddings I went to the bride and groom...
