We are having 2 flavored margarita machines, 3 beers, 2 wines and 4 signature drinks. How many bottles for each signature drink made up of whiskey, Malibu, gin, and vodka? And how many cases of each...

We are having a elegant/Black tie wedding so we’re wanting to keep dinner formula but in a buffet setting if possible. We have 100-150 guest coming. We are needing ideas for food and as well if anyone...
Hi all! Looking for some feedback on seating - specifically seating charts, place cards, and escort cards, and what everyone else is doing. (Seems like such a silly thing to ask about, haha.)...
I have two sons that I am thinking to do mother son dances with. They have both waited their whole lives to see their mama happy and to be married. They will be 23 and 17 at the wedding. I’m just...
We are probably going to have 75-100 people for our wedding in August. I don't want to go crazy on the alcohol bill but we have to stock the bar. How was alcohol should I get without going overboard?
Hey everyone. My wedding is booked for September 2024, and I’m trying to get a price range for catering options. We’re having a barn wedding and wanting BBQ options. I was thinking Mission BBQ but...
Live in Louisiana. We are having a rustic themed wedding on a farm in the middle of nowhere and was thinking of making it easy and serving Gumbo. It can also feed a lot of people. We’d probably have...
EDIT: omg I didn't notice that my title got so butchered! lol I meant to say how to have a head table feel without actually having a head table. It's one of the only wedding-related things that we...
So I have a question for anyone who has done or seen "his favorite" and "her favorite" snack favors done before, or anyone who feels like offering input We're definitely doing some sort of small, low...
My dad is super scottish and I'd love to incorporate a celtic (preferably scottish, something with bagpipes) into the reception whether it be the father daughter dance or the precession or something....
My fiancé and I are thinking about having our reception turn into a pool party. We’re trying to keep it informal but tasteful. The ceremony would be informal and then we would want a band playing by...
We are having a causal wedding and I’d love ice cream cake. It’s just the best in my opinion. Now, if you have setup time for the cake and leave it out for a long while that’s not the most practical,...
I am going to have this donut wall at my wedding. The donut wall is free standing and is ~5 feet tall. It is a small wedding (40 people; family only) and my space at my venue is limited. Do I need to...
We are having a small destination wedding (invited around 55, looks like we’ll have maybe 40) and I’m getting so worried about the vibe/dancing aspect. We are going to be at a beautiful beach house...
My parents are divorced but I would love for them to dance at my wedding together. My dad has a girlfriend that totally avoids my mother and doesn’t even talk to me, but my mother is single. I don’t...
So me and my fiance had originally planned to have our reception at a restaurant that was expanding their space, and we would be their first private event. They gave us a great deal and offered to...
I have a wedding venue that looks like it needs a little bit of updating. I asked them will they fix their sign and such. They did say yes however, this venue is connected to a restaurant (it's a...
Looking for an appropriate mother son song but not all the typical ones.. they don’t have a close relationship so most sound cheesy/fake.
