Just based on our guest count and venue space logistics, a few of our guest tables kinda have to have 9 people. Has anyone sat 9 guests at 60 inch round, did it work out okay? Or has anyone been...
I’m having a pretty small wedding, about 30, and am trying to figure out seating ideas. Since it’s pretty small I feel like tables spread apart with a small table for the bride/groom might be weird?...
If my future great aunt made me a homemade garter, when it’s time to throw it… Do I ask for the garter back and give the guest a replacement that I have extra? Or how does that work? I don’t want to...

I’ve been to 2 weddings where cupcakes were given out instead. I am thinking about doing that with a small cake on top of tier for us to “cut the cake” we eat the cake as we feed each other too! Any...
We’re having a fall wedding and I thought a medium sized cake and an assortment of mini desserts would be cute like mini pies, cookies, cake pops. Or should I just do cake?
We plan to do cupcakes and don't want to get a small cake because it kind of defeats the point of saving money and coordinating rentals. Is anyone else doing this? Are you planning to cut a single...
