Are you doing something unique and fun for a guest book? What are some of the best ideas you have seen?
My fiancé is struggling to pick a song or find one he loves to dance to with his mom at our wedding. Any great songs you have all heard or would recommend? Thanks!
Assuming that you are ordering a good tasting cake/dessert and not something that is from an incompetent bakery or is all around bad. Compared to the number of guests, did you order not enough, just...

What songs get you on the dance floor as a guest? What songs were/are popular with your guests to get them to dance?
What do y'all think of having casino gaming tables at the reception? Not many of our guests are big dancers; they'll sit and appreciate music, but not dance. Plus, all of my finance's family members...
We are doing plated dinner with two entree choices at our reception. Our venue offers chicken, fish, and beef (and no matter what we choose there will also be a silent vegetarian option available)....
Did anyone have a hard time debating on paying the extra for a plated dinner ? Our wedding will only be about 30 -40 guests so I’m not sure if it’s worth the extra $1k thanks!
Hey Everyone! I'm getting married in October and we've decided not to hire a DJ. I know most of you won't agree, but I've been to plenty of weddings that didn't have DJ's and it was still fun and had...
