So a compete joke. I work in daycare it is naptime so I looked on my phone for something. A kid wakes up and goes I want baby shark. I wonder if anyone played baby shark at the reception and had...
How are you icing your wedding cake? Will you use fondant, buttercream icing or go no icing and have a naked cake? 🍰 Was your decision purely decorative or do you care more about the taste? Fondant?...
I have been to a good amount of weddings and the only favor that I can remember that I still use is a bottle opener. My best friend's brother got married and they did old fashion keys that were bottle...
Let me just say we've managed to pull together every other detail of this wedding on almost zero budget but the food is going to be what kills it. Neither of us has any desire what so ever to do a...
I am trying to get a sense of financial numbers for my wedding, and the one number that seems way off compared to budget forecasts on WW and TK is the bar tab. We are having a 150-person wedding, but...
What’s your favorite food station? Pasta, taco, carving, something else entirely? Are you having a special food station at your wedding? If you could have any food station at your wedding reception,...
Hello all! We are having a smaller wedding with about 40-50 guests in total. We have been set on having food stations at our wedding because they just seem so fun without being super casual or formal....
What red and white wines would you suggest for a June wedding taking place in the evening? Photo Credit: Pinterest
Hi! I’m putting together my January wedding and I am a Christmas FREAK 😂 Christmas music makes me SO happy and I would love to have it as a part of my wedding. However, do you think my guests will...
I saw these at a wedding I shot this weekend and they were so much fun! They are foam, so if someone gets hit in the face by accident it's not a big deal. We're having probably 130ish guests. These...
I'm reviewing the bar contract that my venue has, and of course it has a clause that says no outside alcohol. So how does one enforce that? I certainly can't tell grown a** adults what to do. Do you...
So originally FH and I were planning on having a reception that is byob. However, after scrolling through discussions I've seen that it's tacky and a lot of people saying they wouldn't stay long at a...
I'm thinking of having just a small (like, 8 inch round, single tier) cutting cake to do the whole cutting ceremony, and then serving sheet cake from the kitchen. We won't have a dessert table or...
We are thinking of asking our families to bring a covered dish to the wedding instead of a gift/present. That way we do not have to spend a fortune on food and we won't have the worry of what food to...
I thought I'd picked a first dance song out but now I've changed my mind. FH and I cannot come to an agreement on what to dance to! Are there any alternative/indie fans here? If so, what are you and...
So FH and I aren't really superstitious, but I had a thought regarding the first dance. We originally weren't going to do one because we'd rather cut off our fingertips than be the center of attention...
Has anyone on here done a handheld candlelight exit? If so, how did it go? My wedding is in December, and I’m thinking, instead of doing a sparkler exit outside, I’d have people hold small candles...
Hello everyone! I toured a beautiful historic mansion for our ceremony site and reception and I fell in love! I’m so in love with this site that I woke up in the middle of the night in a panic...
Hi, We are planning our wedding for 2020, but are looking at ways to save money. Possibly thinking of doing a lunch reception. Would you or have you known people to give less money as a gift at a...
Has anyone ever seen a nighttime reception sendoff using glowsticks instead of sparklers? I love the theory but I'm not sure how practical it is!
