Send-off
whirlwind, on January 19, 2021 at 11:15 PM

I am looking at ideas for our send-off after the reception. Our reception will end around 6:00pm, it won't be dark then (so probably no sparklers). Do you do a send-off? Do you play a special...

Olga, on May 23, 2021 at 2:18 AM

I was wondering if making a photobooth will be worth it? I’ve rarely been at places where they have them and not many use them but then again we won’t have a camera it will just be taken on phones....

Alcohol question
Samantha, on May 21, 2021 at 10:02 PM

At our venue we bring our own alcohol to be served but it has to be served by a bartender. No problem at all we are inviting around 300 people and will have two bartenders. We won’t be charging for...

Skipping the mc and announcements
Michelle, on May 26, 2021 at 1:13 PM

If you did this or attended a wedding that did skip them, were you completely lost and confused as to what was going on? Some people say they are required and your guests will be confused and others...

Is it unheard of and/or rude to do a small wedding cake just for cutting/pictures (and for like the bride/groom, bridal party to eat) and then cupcakes for everyone else?

Ariel, on May 11, 2021 at 7:08 PM

Mash-a-tini or Taco Bar?

I thought the mashed potatoes served on martini glasses would look more elegant and would be less messy to eat but at the same time I love me some tacos! I wonder what other brides think about these...
