Has anyone here done the Polaroid thing? We are already wavy over budget, and while I desperately wanted a picture booth (I think it is so fun), it is an extra $1k that we both just don't see...
This question just came up today. Is it common/tradition to do a slideshow (kids picture to adult to couple) during reception? 100% of my out of country friends did it on their wedding, but I'm not...
This week we’re talking all about budgeting! Divvying up your wedding budget can be tough, so you’ll want to think through your priorities to decide where you want to splurge and where you need to...
How do you feel about personalized koozies as wedding favors? These have been a wedding staple for awhile now - but they're starting to get pushed out of the top spot by favors that are edible and...
A grand exit is a great time for a photo op and a final farewell to the newly married couple! Is a grand exit part of your reception plan? Or are you skipping it? Is a grand exit necessary or not?...
Naked cakes were a massively popular wedding reception trend in 2018! I’m personally not a fan because #frosting4life, but what do you think? Are naked cakes a trend you want to see continued in 2019?...
So my Fiancé and I are only planning on having 4 kinds of beer and 4 kinda of wine for our open bar at the reception. It’ll be a smaller wedding and reception. 50 tops. Maybe a signature drink as...

Hey everyone! I'm looking for some inspiration for our first dance. FH and I are both open minded, but don't know if we should do a slow dance or something fun and more "out there." I've seen some...
So we’re doing a 10 person ceremony in June where I will wear my wedding dress, but what about for our postponed wedding reception for when we can gather in large groups again - probably next year...
I ordered 200 koozies with our original wedding date on them (we postponed like everyone else) and I’m not sure what to do with them! Our wedding is next May 2021 now. Do I ask the Etsy shop I got...
So this might be a little out there, but I just learned that my favorite restaurant, like ever, does wedding catering. It's like a Mongolian build your own stir fry type of place. According to them...

I paid the deposit to the caterer for the wedding reception for my son and his fiancé. The wedding was suppose to be May 9, 2020. Due to the Convid the wedding had to be cancelled. I have received a...
Hi, we are doing a seating chart but no escort cards. We are offering three meal options and our venue requires meal indicators at the table. Would it be weird if we had place cards at each seat with...
Has anyone had a chain restaurant cater their wedding (Olive Garden, Chipotle..etc)? We are looking at roughly 100 guests, and I'm super cheap and can't afford the prevailing $19-$20 x...
Hello! My fiancé is set on having BBQ at our wedding. My worry is that it won’t look or feel classy. For the table setting I was thinking about getting chargers and nice sturdy plastic plates,...
I prefer evening BUT one of the vendors i'm considering has a pretty good discount for morning weddings. We would have the venue from 9 AM - 2 PM. for literally half the price of their evening...
