Hi everyone! Apologies for a sad post but my fiancé and I have been debating how to design a memorial table with our florist. Unfortunately, last year we lost my dad and each lost a grandmother in...
Hi everyone. My wedding is a few weeks away now, and I need some ideas on how to incorporate two languages into the reception. While most people speak at least basic level English, my step-dad doesn't...
So I have a peculiar situation. If you want the full detail read the following 2 paragraphs. If you just want the main issue look at the last one. Thank you in advance! I am Lithuanian-American and we...
Hello everyone! My fiancee and I are about six weeks out from our wedding at a cool old factory in New Jersey. I wondered if anyone has ever seen or done a continuous slideshow at the reception,...
Hi!! My fiancé’s mother is barely in his life and will not be attending our wedding. In this case, my fiancé really wanted to surprise my mom and do a “mother-son” dance with her. The only problem is...
I wanted to put a jug of water on each table, but my table is long and there will be a lot of decoration to fill and I don't know if the jug of water fits on the table. I was thinking of putting on a...
We're having a micro wedding (total headcount 25) in the gardens of a bed & breakfast. The b&b is blocked off for just our group all weekend, and everyone is staying there for lodging. So far,...
So I have a few plus ones that I do not know the name's of/last names of. They're on my FH side and he doesn't really know them, just his parents. I have asked them several times- making the guest...
Hello: we are getting close to the big day. I am dancing with my new father n law while my FH dances with his daughter just because we feel they should have also have a song in addition to us and our...
We invited 167 people knowing for sure that 10-12 would decline, which put us around 155. Our venue says it can hold 200, but we've been there before for a wedding that had 175 and it was PACKED, so...
Is coffee something common at a wedding? We have some family pressuring us about serving coffee at the end and this venue is very hands on for us. We basically have to supply everything so we would...
The original goal was to have a church wedding with a cupcake reception then have a second reception at a second venue (limited guests) that includes dinner, dancing, and a bar. But the church is...
We are coming to the end of our wedding planning as our wedding is next week. Husband and I are not dancers. We haven’t even practiced our first dance (how much he hates dancing). Our wedding is also...
My fiance and I are in the very early stages of planning a wedding for about 70 people. Some of our guests might be into dancing, but others (including us) aren't especially into it. But of course, we...
Hi! I want to have gold utensils at my wedding but don't want to spend too much! I came across this website that seems to be the cheapest option available, but also seems too good to be true. They're...
I’m Korean-American and my dad is a Korean immigrant who is way more comfortable with Korean than English. We’re having trouble picking a Korean song that would work for our father daughter dance. I...
My husband and I got married last October with just our parents, and are having a more formal event this October to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. It will be similar to a wedding reception...
My caterer serves vendors the same meals as guests. Vendors will be eating at the same time as everyone else (except the band) and it'll probably take an hour or so to eat. I have my photographer...
I have a strange situation. My uncle and dad are walking me halfway down the isle and then my mom is walking me the rest of the way. I have a dance with my mom, and I’m going to dance with my uncle...
