Melissa, on August 11, 2022 at 2:37 PM

I feel like I need to give some really brief backstory to explain this, so I apologize. So my fiancé and all his siblings have a really bad relationship with their mother. She did a lot of not great...

Vanessa, on May 12, 2019 at 10:18 PM

Lady.ghoulica, on July 31, 2018 at 9:02 AM

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...

Carissa, on August 8, 2022 at 11:42 AM

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...

Late night snack?
Caitlin, on August 7, 2022 at 12:59 PM

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...

Sweetheart table focal point
Carmela, on November 30, 2020 at 10:14 AM

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...

Place Card Logistics
Samantha, on August 4, 2022 at 8:06 PM

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...

Would you be disappointed?
Cece, on July 21, 2022 at 11:38 AM

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...

Reception Tables numbers or names?
Carlin, on July 29, 2022 at 6:23 PM
