I received a gift on my registry, with a note that says it is an early shower gift. The only problem is, I wasn’t planning to have a shower. Nobody offered to host one, which is fine by me. I’ve never...
TLDR: Mom’s dress looks white (she says it’s silver in person) and regardless of color I don’t really like the style on her. She can’t return it. What should I do? I think I’m writing this to vent...

A good friend of mine attended a wedding today. She said she was appalled that some people had on Jeans, as I would be too. I am putting in my invitations about the dress code. And it will be enforced...
So our dress code is basically no jeans. I am thinking dresses nice o pants. Not everyone invited gmhas a lot of extra spending money. I don’t want anyone to feel like they have to go out and get...
Curious to what people did to ensure no one other then those exact people who were invited attend the wedding? So no kids unless name on invite, no plus one unless stated. We’re on a tight head count...
