I am in need of a song for my Fiance to dance with his grandmother. Country songs would be better

Will your Dj's mix songs for you
Liz, on February 25, 2021 at 4:35 PM

Buffet dinner question
De Courcys, on January 18, 2024 at 11:37 PM

Michele, on October 20, 2020 at 6:23 PM

One offbeat idea that we thought about was having a tattoo artist at the wedding for those who wish to partake. Guests would not have to pay. The set up would have the same sanitation and paperwork as...

Jasmine, on January 15, 2024 at 12:27 AM

How can I make it where families and couples can RSVP all at once instead of searching for each name individually?

Reception-only wedding - ways to make guests feel included
Gina, on December 30, 2023 at 11:21 AM

My fiance and I are both introverts and really private people. We’re individualistic and don’t really love being in the spotlight or having a ton of eyes on us at once. We decided before we even got...

Kajika, on January 11, 2024 at 2:33 PM

Wedding Reception Favors
Carrie, on January 6, 2024 at 3:37 PM

Do the guests really care about the favors? I tried to remember at all the weddings I've been to and I can't seem to remember what any of the favors were. Will guests be mad about no favors? I can't...

Are there any non-cringey bridal party entrances?
Belle, on December 31, 2023 at 7:12 AM

I’m referring to the part of the reception where the bridal party makes an entrance couple by couple, and each pair does some crazy dance move or a funny walk-out. I’m not even sure if this is a...
