I don’t want a really “grand entrance”. It just isn’t us. I see us (just the bride and groom) being introduced and walking right out to dance floor to go into our first dance. My question is, I feel...
How many are doing a sweetheart table? I’m open to it but in a way I don’t isolated from our guest. Any suggestions?
I’m getting worried about having my dance floor separate from the reception area, fearing older family members will hate having to get up to see the first dance, etc. I really love the venue but...
Which songs or artists are you and/or fiancé not wanting to hear at all?
Neither my parent nor my fiancé parents helped pay for our wedding. Is it wrong for me not to want me nor my fiancé have a “parent dance?” I feel as if she wants to do it only for show and for the...
Calling all brides who had the reception food in stations. How long did you keep the stations open? How did you form your timeline around that?
Do you plan to have these at the reception? Switch them to the rehearsal dinner or eliminate them entirely? They are rare/nonexistent in our circles and we don’t feel comfortable with that much extra...
As a guest, do you make sure to sign the guest book (if the couple has one)? Or do you skip it? If you're married, how many people signed the guest book at your wedding?
Hi ladies! So my fiancé and I️ decided to get married on a weekday (a Thursday) and have a reception the following Saturday. I’ve read that it’s not proper to have the tradition first dance or have...
Planning to make a donut cake (see pic below for inspo) for our wedding. This will be the main dessert, along with a “candy bar”. We are planning about 140 guest, who many donuts do you suggest we...

Hello hello to all couples that are soon to be married and those of you that are married now recent and longer. Can you share with us the songs that you chose for your wedding. Like the groom to the...
If you choose not to greet guests at the end of the ceremony, how will you will make sure that you get to everyone to say hi and thank you at the reception that doesn’t cut into dancing time? For...
We were quoted a 40% production fee on top of our food in our initial catering quote. We requested a quote for 100 guests with a plated dinner, cocktail hour is past hors d’oeuvres and two open bars...
Are these actual signature drinks with a name twist? We are having an open bar, but we also wanted to have a signature drink for fun. I wasn’t sure if these had to be real drinks with a cute name...
We are having a second reception in our home state since we are doing a destination wedding and not everyone can make it. We are going all out for the wedding so the reception is going to be less...
We got married almost 2 weeks ago. It was truly an amazing day! But seriously it flew by and of course now I'm just reliving the day in my head. One thing that bothered me was that so many of our...
I'm looking at 15 and it's not a big wedding (under 100). How did your wedding go with so many children?
Me and my fiance are doing a surprise choreographed 1st dance. The question is should we do our 1st dance after introductions and then do dinner and the rest of the special dances after dinner to open...
