jinjer, on February 18, 2014 at 1:53 PM

Registry at REI?
Betty, on February 17, 2014 at 11:30 AM

Place cards and escort cards question.
Kelly, on February 16, 2014 at 9:28 PM

When doing place cards and escort cards do you put titles? Such as Dr. So and so? I wasn't planning on putting Mr or Mrs.
