Luckybride, on January 15, 2018 at 12:16 AM

Last idea floating around, a very relaxed type of open house reception. Before anyone gets upset, its extremely common where I live. In fact, all of the weddings in my local circle of friends have...

How is everyone budgeting and financing their wedding; especially where I’m located it’s an arm and a leg and difficult to pay with just us .

When does your wedding start?
Michelle, on September 19, 2021 at 7:42 PM

Are you doing a first look to get photos out of the way so you can go to the whole cocktail hour? Is everything at the same location? How long is your reception lasting?
