What is something you wish you would have done.
Michelle, on October 20, 2021 at 7:49 PM

In hindsight, what do you wish that you had done that you overlooked or ignored? Is there a last minute purchase you should have gone for but forgot?

Do Not Play list
Ashley, on October 17, 2021 at 3:56 PM

So I’m looking for thoughts on the do-not-play list. If a song is pretty much a no-brainer (WAP for example) is it necessary to include, or does it sort of go without saying?

Hi! Does anyone know how the catering company will charge if you’re only wanting to serve hors d'oeuvres? We are wanting it to be a table full of a variety of foods

Reception hours
Janae, on October 19, 2021 at 9:51 PM

Hello ladies, how long will your reception be? I just realized we only gave ourselves 3 hours for our reception. Leaving only 1 hour 15min - 1hour 30 mins of dancing time. Doesn't seem like a lot.
