Photos you don't care about or don't want
Michelle, on April 9, 2021 at 4:15 PM

Are there any popular shots that are not important to you at all? For example, not wanting photo coverage of getting dressed or something else

A drink before the ceremony?
Christina, on October 28, 2015 at 4:00 PM

Mimosas while getting ready? A shot to calm the nerves before the first look / walk down the aisle? A beer at the bar in the venue? Almost all the 'getting ready' pictures I see have some glass of...

Human alternative to welcome sign?
Michelle, on April 12, 2021 at 3:24 PM

Is anyone greeting your guests as they arrive? Guestbook attendant, ushers, parents if any, the bride and groom, someone else?

So I was having a discussion with my aunt who’s hosting my bridal shower and she mentioned I need to get thank you cards. I guess I didn’t think of it because I thought we weren’t supposed to use...

Finally feeling excited again!
Jess, on April 12, 2021 at 12:28 PM

We just got all of our RSVPs back for our May 15th wedding. I can't believe how high the turnout is... we invited 115 and 100 said yes. With our state's mandate, we are good to go with our 100 count!...

I had my first meeting today with a florist who specializes in weddings and I’m hoping that what I was told is not the norm. She told me the minimum for flower purchase was $800 and that...

To have a selfie station
CountryBride, on April 12, 2021 at 2:02 PM

So my DJ was running a promotion and offered it to us we booked with him and he would throw in a free selfie station, is it tacky to have one, we are going for a relaxed fun vibe

Cherise, on April 11, 2021 at 9:12 AM

We are at the planning stage where we decide where to go & what to do after the reception ends? Throw an after party? Go back to the hotel? We’re not going directly to our honeymoon destination...
