My mother is very kindly giving me $5000 towards my wedding. When I mentioned that I could host 60 people for 4k including brunch, alcohol, linens, china, 3 servers for the entire reception,...

I just received the quote from the caterer and there is no gratuity charge or service fee at the typical 20%. There is a fee of $90 per server and of course taxes on the bill total but that's...

Just venting. I had to reschedule my appointment last week with the caterer bc I had the flu and a temp of 102.4. I sent them an email with what I was thinking and we rescheduled for this Thursday. I...

I've heard several people on this forum mention buying tablecloths rather than renting them. Are they really that much cheaper in the end? What companies did you use? Was their quality decent? Did you...

My venue is in a pocket that has almost no cell phone access. Go a mile or two down the road and you're fine, though. How would you notify your guests? None of my guests have very small children at...

When did you ask about any dietary concerns your guests may have. I thought about having it printed on the back of the STD cards and asking people to email us. I certainly don't want any allergic...

Looking for a friend who wants a venue that has an industrial chic vibe in the Charlotte NC area. Any suggestions?

As we get closer (still 9 most to go), I find myself getting worked up over details etc. When I share these concerns with FH he naturally tries to fix things for me. Some suggestions are not having...

Have I completely lost my mind? I'm thinking about making tablecloths for my tables. At most there will be 16 tables. The tables are small which means most of them only seat 4 per table. They are 42...

I'm having only one attendant, my sister. Although I love her she is a demanding force to deal with. Rather than me deciding on my wedding colors she has decided she needs a coral dress or a red...

Anyone else just want to hurl while planning your wedding. I'm planning a small wedding 30-50 and feel so bogged down by details. I am almost stagnant in my plans at this point. The stress of being a...

With all the natural disasters out there, it seems wedding insurance is probably a really good idea. Any suggestions on good companies and which ones to avoid??

I'm seriously considering DIY bouquets for myself and my one attendant. The tables at my venue are all 4 top with a few 6 top. I really can't have large arrangements. So I am thinking of buying mint...
