In your opinion.. How important is it to update your caterer on an increased number of guests? I have already paid for 85 guests, but now my guest list is 96 (these being confirmed). I really didn't...
How many people are doing/have done this? Was it a success or fail? We have no registry, so I'm hoping this is a good alternative.

Ladies I need some advise, and I'm hoping I'm inquiring at the right place. My fiance and I are planning a dream come true themed Lord of the Rings wedding that is booked at a renaissance faire. The...
How much are you spending per person for your reception? Where are you located and what is included in the total meal and beverage cost?
Are you having tables of 8 or 10? I’ve also seen some receptions with a few long rectangle tables

Of course we all understand that it's good manners to greet every guest who attends your wedding, but if you have a large guest list it can start to feel like a daunting task!! How are you making sure...
Hi so I know I have seen this question before but I’m considering having a brunch (not breakfast) menu at my reception. Our wedding date is Nov. 30th next year which is the Saturday after...
So, we are having a no-children wedding. It was a tough decision, but FH comes from a large family, and the reality was that if we invited children, 20% of our guests would be under 5 years old. Not...
Which is better Wedbox or eversnap? I’m having a hard time deciding. Also do you think guests will actually use this? I’m hoping to skip the photographer at the reception and just use one of these.
