My uncle recently was put in a nursing home. My STD cards were sent when he was still at home. How do I address the invitation now that he is no longer living in his home with his wife? Do I send a...
What's the etiquette? I suppose since your BP is your nearest and dearest it would only make sense that the parents are invited but what is everyone doing? For example, one of my BM I've been close...
Hi all! So one of my good friends recently got engaged to her boyfriend of 4 years! I'm so happy for her, but a little worried because her and her fiance(!) are already butting heads regarding the...
This is will be my 3rd marriage, but his first. Does anyone out there have any advice on having a 3rd ceremony? It is going to be small, my first two were on the larger side, so there will be people...
I feel like not many people get married in Church these days. Do any of you know if both the bride and groom need to be confirmed and have their first communion done to be able to get married in...

I am having a small intimate ceremony but want family I do not see to at least be aware I got married. I have so many thoughts I am going crazy!! Do you think it is ok to just send out an announcement...
I was thinking about this the other day. My Mom/sister(MOH) are throwing me a bridal shower. My step Mom is throwing us a Bridal Shower/Stock the Bar Party. Monday, my FMIL asks if her church can...
The title sounds strange, I guess. I knew that our guest list would be long because we know a lot of people. I started asking people for their addresses, like family and a few co-workers. Except now,...
So I found an officiant online. But how do I know everything is legit? Are there certain specific papers I should ask for or he should provide before or after the wedding?
Okay so my FH and I have decided to have a very simple, short reception in his mothers garden (we're inviting about 70 people) With just simple food like sandwiches and salads, some deserts. No...
So my FH's parents are both passed. His step father will be at the wedding. He asked if we could reserve 2 seats with his mother and father's name on them. Not sure how that will go over but I am...
A very old friend of mine (who I've since lost most contact with) invited me and my fiance to her reception with drinks & dancing (no dinner due to tight budget). There is no mention of a registry on...
Is it just me or does it seem a bit ridiculous that the groomsmen would suggest inviting their wives to the bachelor dinner? My fiancé and I had planned separate outings, of course, for our parties....
