Hey y'all! This has been super on my mind lately, and I need to decide before we send out invitations for our big day. We have a TON of kids on my side of the family, and I love them all very dearly....
My reception venue has a cash bar service only and I do not know what guest typically drink on a special occasion. I am open to any opinion.
My future father in-law is NOT a country fan! Tell me some great songs I could play so we can slow dance together for my wedding! He’s big into rock if that helps!
Do you guys think wedding favors are worth it? I’ve seen some cute ones for about $1.30, like customized chocolate bars. But I’m also wondering if it’s a waste of time. I feel like half the...
Hey y'all, I got married this past week (yay!) and I noticed two things about our servers that I paid extra for via the caterer. 1. They did not clear any dirty plates off of the tables. I was told...
Hey Brides- I recently had my wedding and at the reception, the caterer brought out the complete wrong chicken option. Not at all what we tasted - wrong cut of chicken (we specifically requested no...
