Anyone having a family/kid-friendly wedding?
Michelle, on March 14, 2021 at 9:06 PM

Since there are so many who see weddings as family events. Are you doing anything special for the kids? Their own dinner options? Dancing along to the dj? Activity packets to occupy them? Something...

Wedding Duty Assignments
Amanda, on March 11, 2021 at 2:58 PM

What duties do I need to assign to people and who should I assign them to? I keep seeing this everywhere and I can be a bit of a control freak/don't want to burden anyone else with "duties" so this...

Wedding Day Without doc
Kris, on March 13, 2021 at 11:52 AM

Hello! I've been looking to hire a DOC, but they start out in our area for like $1500, which is WAY out of our range. For those of y'all who have gotten married without a DOC, how did you...

More eco-friendly welcome bags?
Emily, on March 14, 2021 at 10:01 AM

I know the whole wedding industry is very wasteful, so I’m not sure why I’m so hung up on these welcome bags. I just feel guilty buying 200 plastic water bottles. With snacks, I could always find...

How long does the surreal phase last?
Pheonix, on March 13, 2021 at 9:14 AM

I keep going through burst of excitement with my engagement, it doesn't quite seem real. We have told several people, I started dress shopping, but it doesn't seem real quite yet. How long did the...

Destination Wedding
Samantha, on March 10, 2021 at 4:42 PM

Howdy, how many guests are typical for a destination wedding? I want 100-200 guests (possibly) does anyone know of any resorts in Mexico that do weddings of this size?

Kayla, on March 13, 2021 at 8:27 AM

Was playing around with invitations online and saw that there was a way to send them electronically, and they would also be able to just rsvp from the invite. Thoughts on getting an invite to your...

Waiting to plan is killing me!
Nicole, on March 12, 2021 at 3:16 AM

The hardest part about having a wedding so far away is that I have 0 patience and want to plan everything. I want to buy everything for it. My wedding is more than 2 and a half years out and I know I...

Videography - why or why not?
Kelly, on December 5, 2020 at 10:08 AM

For those who are choosing to go with a videography, why? For those opting not to have one, why? I haven't decided if I want one for our wedding or not.
