So my fiancé and I aren't really cake people and we still want to have a cake at our reception, but we don't want to spend too much money on a cake to be honest. Any suggestions or alternatives? I...

Dessert Table
o1234, on August 19, 2021 at 1:10 PM

I am doing my own dessert table, and I am a little overwhelmed with how to lay it all out. I've never done this before so just kind of winging. Anybody else do their own dessert table or have...

Leaning tapers
Laurie, on August 19, 2021 at 8:34 PM

My tapers don’t fit snuggly enough in some of my candle holders. I won’t have time to melt the wax in the bottom of the holder to help them stick the day of the wedding. Does anyone have other...

Am i wrong for seating our moms separately
Julena China, on August 11, 2021 at 7:23 PM

So my fiancé and I are opposites when it comes to personality. I’m the life of the party and he’s very quiet. Our moms are just like us. Secondly, there is a major generation and age gap between my...

Champagne on ice?
Candace, on August 18, 2021 at 11:36 AM

Our venue is an old dance hall with no room in the bar fridges to keep 20 bottles of champagne cold. How do you keep your champagne cold or do you? I'm considering a table just for the champagne....

Seating
Nancy, on August 14, 2021 at 1:42 PM

Is anyone having an all kids table? Are parents ok with this. Also if there are babies still in a car seat do I still have to set aside a seat for them.
