In attempt to involve more people in the wedding, I thought that it would be nice to go with tradition and have an Anniversary Dance. I already figured out who out of our families who have been...
I would've never thought the smallest details would be some of the hardest things to plan. But here we are! What are you doing for your reception entrance? One song for everyone? Or I've read some...
We are having an intimate wedding— 35 guests plus my fiancé and I. 37 total. We will be joining 5 8ft tables to make 1 long 40 foot table. As far as seating chart goes, do we…. 1) even need a seating...
Hi everyone, I really just need to vent because I feel silly for even feeling this way.. my soon to be sister-in law plus one (who I don’t care for to begin with) only eats chicken nuggets and fries.....
Hey everyone! So I'm torn on adding a late-night snack station to our catering package. Do you think it's necessary? We are having a dessert bar so that people have more options other than cake to...
Just wondering if anyone has done anything dramatic for a sweetheart table? Such as a lot of flowers/draped backdrop/flower arch. Does anyone think this is worth it? And does anyone know how much...
Hi, I am struggling with how to display my bridal and bridesmaid bouquet on the sweetheart table. It seems like it would be easy.... just put them in a vase and you're done. But, I think the vases I...
I’ll give some (VERY LONG AND MOSTLY ABOUT COVID AND DEPRESSION) back story just because I really need an outlet to vent, and then I’ll end with my question! So scroll to the bottom if you don’t want...
Hello ... Our casual, laid back BEACH wedding & reception guest list has grown from 50 to 85! The ceremony will still be on the beach - but the outdoor tiki pavilion reception at Shepard's Beach...
For our restaurant reception, we're doing a plated meal with 3 courses. Each guest was given a choice on each course. Do I need to note this on the place card somehow, or is submitted the layout with...
Hello we are on a tight budget that is mainly going to our stunning venue, that happens to be in the middle of nowhere surrounded by woods. We have to do the food ourselves and are think about a taco...
Would you be disappointed if you attended a wedding that had no wedding cake? Due to the pandemic and multiple postponements, we have lost 3 bakers (and 2 deposits). We are now four months out from...
This week we’re playing “most likely to…”-wedding guest edition! We know Joey Tribbiani won’t be attending your wedding, but will his protégé make an appearance? Who is most likely to hit on all the...
I'm less than 2 months away from our wedding and I hate my venue now. What's a girl to do?
I want to do something creative with the reception table than just do numbers? I just got an inspiration from my uncle along with his partner and now husband who at every family event I would sit...
Having a really small, but lush 30-35 person wedding. Plated dinner— sitting w/our guests on one large 40 foot rectangular table. We had them select between chicken & steak but have other options...
What have been your favorites as a guest and what did you absolutely hate?
We were just doing wedding cake but I feel like I need one other item or two. I also have 3 vegans which is making it difficult. None of the bakeries offering me a dessert table do vegan and the vegan...
Need advice!!! Bridesmaids, centerpieces, and my bouquet are red roses… would it look odd if my cake had white roses? I’m torn because the cakes that I’m falling in love with are mostly all white with...
