I’m a bridesmaid in a wedding. The bride has a head table with the wedding party and their significant others. There are 20 seats and 22 people so the bride cut my husband from the table. So now he...
Hi everyone!! I am getting married in two months and can not for the life of me decide between two songs on which to use for the aisle and which to use for the first dance! I’m between “Can’t Keep My...
At every wedding I've been to, there is always So. Much. Food! Appetizers, dinner, cake, dessert bar, late night snack... Did you provide a late night snack at your wedding? If so, what did you serve?...
Who is supposed to go with the bride and groom to get photos? Is it just the bridal party and parents? Or do siblings go as well? We are only having my sister, as the maid of honor, and my fiancé’s...
Which did you choose and what led to that decision? Did your choices of what you plan to serve determine that for you? If budget is an issue, the first place to look for food is local restaurants...
Is it possible to add menu choices to the seating chart?
Please recommend any wedding games you may have that’ll help get guest interacting with one another and also for the bride and groom! I already have the shoe game down!
I’m thinking abt getting the cold sparkler machines for our first dance but don’t like the look of the black box on the floor. Any suggestions for how to cover them with something white?
I'm getting married in San Juan and we've booked everything but a DJ. For people that did destination weddings, how did you pick a DJ? Is it easier to just tell them the music we want played?
Is it okay to have just red/white wine and beer? I’m definitely on a budget for this part, but I love to drink and have fun. It also helps with me being nervous as I am a social drinker. But how many...
Hi, do most bride/ groom miss entire cocktail hour for pictures? Any tips or guidance? Thanks
Are dance songs like the Cupid Shuffle or Cha Cha Slide still popular at wedding receptions? I haven't been to wedding in over 10 years so I am not sure and my DJ was asking if we wanted to include...
Is anyone getting married next July 3rd? It’s a Monday. I am wondering if people will be off from work or just take off since the 4th is on a Tuesday.
I don't really mind because that's just how it needs to happen but does this alter the vibe of a wedding? I think it may make it more fun but not sure. Just a thought for those who ended up having...
So venue has wood floor but also a not so attractive dance floor which is more restrictive (smaller). Some brides use it and some do not. What have you done and why?
So I saw a ton of really good diy seating chart ideas on pintrest and thought it would be fun to make one myself as all the rest of my wedding decor were pretty much dit. The end product was beautiful...
Hello, I am really struggling on this one aspect of planning. We want to have a bus for our guests to get to and from the wedding reception.I am not so worried about people getting there as we can...
Post a link please. Save me from doing work and ordering wrong size. 😁
Our venue does not allow sparklers or confetti. What are other good and cheap alternatives for send off? I thought about glow sticks but don’t like the multiple colors.
What are the expectations surrounding vendor meals? Do they need to be the same meals we serve the guests? Are guests have a selection of either steak with rice or a medley of chicken skillet dish....
