Hi. So I have less than two months to my wedding and I feel like it’s gonna be tacky food wise. My mother in law ordered the food the minute we decided on a date. She ordered it from a Mexican place...
What are some ideas for alternate wedding receptions? I think cake cutting and first dances are fine, but I was also hoping to add in some creativity. What wedding reception ideas have you seen in...
So I'm getting mixed answers on Google. How many people will fit at a 60" round table? And a 96"x33" banquet table? Right now, I have 10 at a round table & 8 per banquet table (not using the ends...
I’m already over my expected budget, and I can’t justify spending money buying not one, but TWO garters so that my husband can go up my dress in front of people. He’s shy, so I can’t picture him...

So I’m trying to get my timeline figured out and the only thing I’m having trouble with is how much time to allow for dancing. I realize that many people won’t stay the whole time, but I don’t want...
Hi all, We’re doing a head table and I’m curious if it matters what “side” we place ourselves and our party. I don’t think it does, but correct me if I’m wrong. Which “side” would be for the bride and...
Hello, We are providing all of the liquor, beer, wine, soda, and water to our bartenders and we are considering putting this drink options section on our RSVP card. Is this tacky? Guests would be more...
Long story short, we are planning a July 2019 wedding (just got engaged but we don’t want a long engagement). Found the perfect venue that suits both of us (Antrim 1844) and they have two dates...
I'm having a small (~60 guests) brunch wedding at a hotel ballroom. My FH and I want people to mingle, chat, and (maybe) dance during the brunch reception (~1 pm to 4 pm). So what we envision is first...
