Hi all, my bride to be and I want to serve our own cake at our reception with about 150 guests. Although we know it will be messy and take a while, we feel it would be a nice gesture and a good way to...
Before I ask my DJ officially, can you ask your wedding DJ to mix songs for you, or is it too much to ask. I'm not talking about fade in/outs or cutting down of forst dance songs or what not. But like...
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...

For people who love music, let’s geek out over wedding tunes! What vibe do you want on the dance floor? What favorite songs do you absolutely have to work in?? And especially, for those of us who...
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...
