Opinion on French macarons as favors?
Natalie, on August 23, 2018 at 10:55 AM

Has anyone ordered from Efavormart.com? I'm debating on using a rental company for linens and plate ware but am realizing it's cheaper to purchase rather than rent? At least that's what it seems like....

First dance song, is the meaning "inappropriate"?
Michelle, on October 2, 2019 at 11:13 AM

Is anyone familiar with the song More Than Words by Extreme? Fiance and I love this song, we always belt out singing to it lol, it just really evokes a strong emotion from us. I've always interpreted...

I am in need of a song for my Fiance to dance with his grandmother. Country songs would be better

Tattoo artist at the reception

One offbeat idea that we thought about was having a tattoo artist at the wedding for those who wish to partake. Guests would not have to pay. The set up would have the same sanitation and paperwork as...
