Bridal Shower Alternatives
Josi, on December 27, 2021 at 3:14 PM

I’m curious if you all have done anything instead of a typical bridal shower where the focus is on gifts. My wedding will be out of state for most guests and I’m feeling guilty that they will have to...

Bachelorette locations?
Rachel, on December 26, 2021 at 8:46 AM

Does anyone have bachelorette party locations that are drivable from New York State? We wouldn’t want to be driving more than 8 hours. Any suggestions?
