Just curious - what do you think is enough time for people to eat dinner? Dinner starts at 6:30 and I was aiming for the dance to start at 8:00. We are not doing a bouquet or garter toss and there...

Hey ladies - I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else. When we first booked our wedding reception, the info on paper (and the website) said that capacity was 125 people. When my mom spoke to...

FH and I got engaged in October 2011. I am a big planner. I love schedules, spreadsheets, planning events, etc. So I was on the ball right away. FH usually is too, but for some reason this entire...

I am supposed to meet with my MOH this weekend. She wants to talk about planning my bridal shower to find out what I would like, not like etc. I know that I don't want a traditional shower. I am 34...

A lot of people we know like to munch on something while they are drinking. Not full blown appetizers, but something like peanuts or pretzels or whatever. The thing is, I'm not sure what size bowls to...

How many of you are (or did) wear something at your Bachelorette party to distinguish that you were indeed a bride to be? What did you wear? I remember girls 10-15 years ago (when we were all...

How many of you purchased your and/or your bridesmaid's jewelry online? I found the earrings I want to give my girls at Kohls, but I am having trouble finding a bracelet. I have looked all over Etsy...

First of all - before I even start - I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! The part we spent with family was awesome. The part where the CEO of the company I work for sent notice on CHRISTMAS VIA...

I have been here for about a year or so and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching every bride's wedding evolve and take different shapes over that time - especially the brides who started coming here...

A friend of ours designed out invites and another friend (also our photographer) thinks she may be able to print them on her super turbo professional grade printer. My only question is for those who...

Did any of you make your own hair flowers? I have a couple of peonies I bought at Hobby Lobby, but I am trying to figure out the best way to make these. Did you use a barrette or an alligator clip, or...

Has anyone had a double-sided, custom-sized invite that they did not print themselves? Our friend is in the process of designing ours and it will have to be printed (double-sided) on 11x17 card stock...

If so, what did they do/are they doing? My MOH has had to back out because she just found out she's pregnant and has decided she can't handle the stress of being in the WP and being pregnant. She will...

We have a LOT of DIY projects set up for our wedding. I have a list of everything that needs to be done, but it's impossible to look at it without getting overwhelmed and freaking out. I tried to...

We were planning on putting a photo strip with 4 of our engagement photos in them in our STD's. No matter how I try to make these, they look like total CRAP - either pixelated or blurry. I give up - I...

I had been toying with the idea of using false eyelashes for my wedding. I decided to do a trial run for Halloween - thinking if I messed them up - meh - it's only a Halloween costume. I did not...

SO - I bought a headband to go with my dress at DB, but the more I look at it the more I don't like it. I didn't love it then either, but I think I got a little carried away in the "I found the dress"...

A friend of ours is a graphic designer and is designing our invites. What he has come up with is more incredible than we ever could have imagined, but in order to maintain the beauty of his hard work,...
