If we opt for a buffet-style dinner, should we include the dinner choices on our RSVP cards? While we recognize the necessity of RSVPs, is it essential for the venue to be informed about the specific...
Hello! My family recently sold our house in 2022, but I have always thought it would be a beautiful place for my wedding reception. I was curious if anyone here has ever asked a homeowner to use their...
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...
How can I make it where families and couples can RSVP all at once instead of searching for each name individually?
Hello brides! Before even getting engaged, I always fantasized about a 60-70 people wedding, super small and intimate. When I started planning, I had around 100-110 people between friends, family,...
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...
Hello out there! I am curious if I can find any good father/daughter dance song suggestions from here. Long story short, I've just recently met my biological father about two years ago (I was...

I'm really torn on what to do regarding cake distribution during reception. We have 1 GF guest and 1 VG. We paid extra for cocktail hour and dinner food to accommodate. But I don't know what to do...
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...
My daughter is getting married and one of the things she would like is an ultimate potato station. Baked, mashed and fries of regular and sweet potatoes and all of the sides. I’m estimating 150...
We’re having a small ceremony at a local chapel and can only include half of our original guest list. Instead of a traditional reception we opted for what is essentially going to be an outing to an...
Hi! My fiance and I have just confirmed our wedding weekend and date for November 20, 2021 at the Generations Resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico! Praying and hoping that everything will be okay. We are...
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...
We will have a picture of us on each table. I wanted to add a quote of something above the picture. What are some of your favorite love quotes/sayings
Hey all! So we are having our wedding in June and we will have about 180 people there. We are having a big mix of family and friends and we are pretty fresh out of college so lots of young people will...
Looking for some guidance, we just started looking into where we would like to have our wedding celebration sometime in 2024. We’re not planning to have the ceremony on site, I would actually like to...
