Hello everyone! We are working on choosing which two menu options to try for our entree tasting to determine which one we’ll choose as our second entree option. We already know one we want because one...
To keep it short and sweet, I do not have a relationship with my father. My maternal grandfather will be doing my grandfather/granddaughter dance with me so I can have that tradition. I'm looking for...
Did you change dresses at your reception? I'm content with wearing my wedding dress all night, but I don't want to get to a point where I'm uncomfortable. Anyone wish they had backup dress while at...
I originally wanted a wedding in September before I got engaged and planned to have a s’mores bar at the reception. Now that I’m a week from being engaged I want a spring wedding because September...
Even though I know mine and my partner’s wedding is not any time soon… we actually had a recent discussion about how we feel about future guests may behave with an open bar. We think that it’s...
Does anyone have any recommendations for a seating chart sign that I can make and then have it printed out and put on a stand? I would want it to go by table numbers? I just would love to hear...
I have been struggling to decide on dessert for our reception. I know cake is the most traditional route, but neither my fiance and I are cake people. (I know, it's also about the guests...) In...
We’re having a plated dinner and our venue asks that the meal choice is on each guests place card. I’ve seen some examples online with a sticker of a chicken or cow to indicate the menu item but does...
What favorite foods have you enjoyed at other weddings and how did that translate to your own menu? Did you pick a variety of favorite foods from other weddings or go a different direction?
What does your wedding cake look like? Or if you are already married what did it look like? If you don’t mind me asking either, how much is/was it?
Did you guys have a father daughter dance at your wedding or are planning to have one? I’m not close to my dad so unsure of whether to split a song between and have him dance first half and my mom...
My father and I have a great, but not normal relationship. We are definitely way more likely to sit back and have a beer than anything else, and have never been super close in terms of serious...
I have been looking for a good father daughter dance song for ages and can't find anything! Half of the lists I read have songs that sexual or romantic undertones, so I don't even know why they are on...
I’m trying to find songs to dance with my boys as the bride. My boys are 13 & 12 and all I’m finding are normal mother/son songs where the sons the groom. Any input is appreciated. Thanks
My fiancé and I have been looking for cake alternatives (we just aren't cake people). We found a company that caters/ serves ice cream and gelatos to your guests in cups or waffle cones. I absolutely...
What things have stood out to you as a guest at other weddings that you loved and wanted to include in your own wedding that may or may not be uncommon in your circles? An unconventional food/beverage...
Hey all! My fiance and I are planning on doing a photo guest book. We were thinking about how to make it work as smoothly as possible, and we've got a few questions for those of you who had a photo...
We got married earlier this year in a small private ceremony and due to a medical issue, had to postpone our reception and honeymoon. We recently held our reception at my farm and it was beyond...
Hi all! I am having a very small wedding with only 18 guests. My fiancé and I are not big dancers at all, so we won't be hiring a DJ. We're more looking for the wedding to be a family dinner style...
