Hello everyone! I am getting married in Dripping Springs, TX this December and am searching for a band! I am interested in some classic tunes, '80s music like ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Journey, Tom...
This table is huge and heavy duty, so hard to move but can be. My guest tables are round. I can either use this as a guest table as well, or like I recently thought of, use it as a sweetheart in the...
What did/will you serve to the 12 and under crowd? Are you going for basic chicken fingers, providing a second choice for them or serving whatever adults eat? How detailed are you going with that on...
Hi All, I am the MOB and was blessed to have been given the gift of planning our daughter's wedding reception. They're having an intimate ceremony at the Catholic Church they attend. My daughter had...
Need some advice, we are getting married the night of May 20th. My fiancé has a 9 year old daughter who is the flower girl. Last night I was told by my fiancé that his daughter will probably need his...
I’m getting married in June of this year. My fiancé and I originally agreed to not have alcohol at our wedding. We felt it was unnecessary since neither of us will be drinking and avoid the extra cost...
Thoughts? as of right now I was going with no. I'm hoping most will be up and dancing. we were gonna reserve the near by tables but everyone else could sit where they pleased.
We were thinking donuts, muffins, coffee and juice bar, assorted sandwiches, fruit and vegetable trays and bottled water. We are having trouble deciding on how much of each to order for a guest list...
Hi everyone, My guest list is about 80, and was wondering if this venue would be able to host 80 guests, including myself husband. I can get this venue for free, as it is from a church my partner...
I’ve been debating doing the garter toss but my almost husband is so excited to. Is anyone else nervous??
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG ....... The venue coordinator that took our deposit and signed the contract for our wedding event NEVER PUT IT ON THE CALENDAR!!! I booked our venue last year for our 2023 wedding....
I'm thinking of skipping the wedding favors - they always seem to get left behind. Is this bad etiquette? I feel like they are a huge waste of money and there's so much other stuff to plan and deal...
I'm pretty sure there are other threads like this but I greatly appreciate suggestions on our reception timeline. Our wedding Mass is at 2 PM at a church and our Reception is at a hotel starting at 5...
What did you decide or what do you plan to have? Do you have a strong preference from a guest perspective being either an attendant or the significant other/random plus one of an attendant seated with...
Hi! I was wondering how everyone was planning on obtaining photos from their guests. I just found out about "The Guest" from theknot.com and wanted to see if anyone had any experience with that free...
Still on a high after our wedding last weekend, which was nothing short of incredible! Just reliving the moments over and over again through pictures and videos, and wishing the night had gone on...
Just like the title says, I'm trying to figure out when I should create a seating chart. It seems unproductive to create before I know who all is actually coming. Likewise, I'm having this dilemma...
Hi everyone! Now I’m not sure how abnormal this is but I love getting ideas from all of you wonderful people. I have a pretty big crowd for my wedding and my fiancé and I were thinking of doing...
Hi! One of the venues I am considering consists of various cabins on a lake. The venue is very DIY. The only upfront cost would be to rent all of the cabins for the entire weekend. My question is,...
