Me and FH just booked our venue which has more space than we know what to do with! If the weather turns out to be perfect, we will be using the outdoor garden for the ceremony, which would leave the...
I am getting married in September, but my cake baker recently told me she is moving to Scotland a couple weeks before my wedding, so I am trying to improvise. I have a dairy and gluten allergy, so the...
Are they eating at the same time as guests? Are they eating in the same area with a designated table on the outside of the group in the reception room? What are they being served? The same menu as...
I don't have the best relationship with my dad - it's just 'meh'.. nothing special. Long story short - my parents divorced when I was young. I lived with my mom full time. My siblings lived with my...
Ideas for a Hashtag for chase and hernandez??? Please & thank you
Hello lovelies, I need help! Since we cancelled our venue and were getting down to the wire with our DIY backyard wedding, my newest dilemma is what to use for dinnerware. I am in a toss up for...
So many brides say they were unable to eat. How does that work? Is it due to nerves or something else? If you did eat at your wedding, did you have to force yourself to sit down or was it like any...
When ordering cake and desserts, should you order enough for everyone to get something or enough for everyone to get one of everything? Our cake is big enough for everyone to get a slice and we have...
Is anyone planning on having a groom's cake? Do you think it's worth the money?
I have googled and listened to I don't know how many songs and I am throwing up the white flag on this one. We lost my dad in 2017 and my mother isn't the "center of attention" type....so i want to...
What's everybody take?
I am really struggling with what to do about parent dances and have been dodging the question up until this point. We are 25 days out and vendors are requiring their forms be filled out and sent back...
Soo long story short we had to adjust our menu somewhat when family who said they plan yo attend decided not to attend. They told his mom not us and we found out by just chit-chat thinking we knew. It...
What are you serving? Will they get a choice on the reply card of a plated meal like adults do? Or will they have their own buffet? Are you giving older kids the option of an adult meal?
Has anyone done a slow song for the couple's entrance? I was thinking the bridesmaids and groomsmen men come in to something upbeat and fun, then a slow down for us to add a little drama to the...
So FH and I aren’t fans of having a bunch of separate tables so I’ve been trying to come up with a floor plan that has them all (mostly) connected. It’s especially important since there are quite a...
Hi Ladies, I need some guidance on transportation for the day off. We are getting ready at a hotel about 8 minutes away from our church. The reception is then 20 minutes away. We don't have many out...
Hi all! We want to name our signature drinks and relate them to the fire babies that won’t be able to join the reception- we have a Belgian Malinois & her name is Shy, a cat named Max, and THINK...
We will be having a violinist play while people arrive, during the ceremony, and during cocktail hour. We will be having a country band kick off the night after dinner , so I’m not sure what to do...
Hey! My fiance and I don't dance, nor does most of our family so there will be no DJ but we will have music playing over a couple of speakers throughout the day. I was thinking of doing the cocktail...
