Trying to pick the last dance song of the night but I am unsure if I should go with a slow paced or fast paced song! I was either going to use "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran or "You Shook Me All...
I'm having difficulties choosing a song for my father daughter dance. We are both very into Broadway, but I don't want the song to be too sappy. Any recommendations?
If you had a bartender, did you pay the tip separate at a later date or did you have a jar set out for guests to tip at their discretion? Because many people don’t bring cash to open bars, did the...

Hey ya'll....I'm kind of having a brain fart/over thinking moment. I'm getting ready to make a sign for our guest book. I'd like people to write us a short message rather than just sign their name, so...
