*** yes i know the majority of WW is in favor of seating charts/assigned tables *** my dilemma is that we have about 220 on our guest list, not including plus ones & kids, so we will probably be...
We're doing an assortment of mini cupcakes (plus a small cake) for our wedding. My question is, how many mini cupcakes do we need to provide for a wedding of approximately 250 guests? What is the rule...
OK, for those out there who are doing your or even been to a few that have had their weddings early like 1230pm (thats when we are planning to do ours). We have our chapel from 11am-2pm and are...
Last question!!! What about sparkler exits? Are they always worth the amazing photos, or are they overdone? Are you into it or over it? Photo by Karina Jensen Photography in Punta Cana ***** Thanks...
Our caterer does open bar for $18 pp but FH and I really aren’t thrilled with the selection they have for beer or liquor. We are allowed to bring in our own alcohol and we were considering...
I know the term “open bar” is pretty broad and essentially just means drinks are on the hosts, so what does “full open bar” mean? We’re supplying the alcohol ourselves and are planning on getting 2-3...
Would this be a good idea to give mini fans to guests as a apart of their wedding favor gift (we will have more) but our wedding ceremony is on the rooftop during the summer & I know it will be...
Our reception will be about 55-60 people, and the venue itself is a bit on the smaller side. The room is not really big enough to accommodate a dance floor and a dj. However, the event coordinator of...
I'm becoming excited about our wedding in Runaway Bay, on the coast of Jamaica! I've been wracking my brain whether to have either a Steel band or Reggae band during the champagne and canape hour....
We’re hoping to plan a heavy appetizer, cocktail, and dancing to follow reception. What time is acceptable for a ceremony to start and not serve a full dinner? We’re thinking 6:30 with clear...
Hey ladies! I’m wondering what other DW brides have done/are doing for their decorations if they are having to travel with all of them. specifically- *guest book table *centerpieces * how did you...
Hello - Reception doesn't allow spaklers but want to do something with same effect - either glow sticks, gold ribbon wand or I saw someone post about fiber optic wands? Any good suggestions on where...
Hey guys. Since last Friday I have literally not been able to really think about or focus on anything else but this ceremony...LOL. Omg I am at work doing searches for head pieces and veils all day...
My father passed away suddenly in 2015 and I was thinking I would have my brother step in to do the Father Daughter dance. I want to dance to "You Should Be Here" by Cole Swindell. It is a song that...
I really love the idea of having a photo booth at our wedding. But dang, they are so expensive! Not sure if I can justify spending $250 per hour for a photo booth. So, I was considering having...
I got my menu options from the resort and we are currently debating what we want to choose.. I don’t want to do buffet because I have hated waiting in line to get my food in past weddings.. but we...
Steak in itself is expensive and from everything I have read, it is by far the most popular choice. The in house caterer has a few options but thinking of reaching out before going to the tasting and...
How necessary is it to provide flip flop for guests? I have 150 coming and I figured I could get around 50 pairs for $50 (thanks dollar tree), but my fiancé asked me if this was completely...
Is there proper etiquette on which side the bride and groom sit on? We will be seated in front of the dance floor, with 4 tables in each side of the dance floor for our guests. Of the 8 guest tables,...
Do you tip the wedding planner? She is handing out the rest of my tips so it seems weird not to tip her; but also maybe it’s tacky to tip her. What did you do/plan to do?
