Thoughts on my wedding timeline?
Layla in Planning, on October 16, 2021 at 9:24 PM

My micro-wedding is in the Northeast (US) in January, so it will be really cold! Sunset is at 4:45pm but the venue is in the mountains so it will probably get darker a little earlier than that. My...

I am MOH for my friend who is very independent & her mom and FMIL are super involved (to the point of overbearing) in the wedding planning. She is overwhelmed by how involved they are so I’ve been...

Are these floral prices reasonable?
Layla in Planning, on September 7, 2021 at 3:22 PM

I had no idea that flowers were so expensive. My future MIL offered to pay for the flowers but I dread going to her with an $1800 price tag for my micro wedding 😩 My fiancé’s family does not...

Worst reasons someone declined your wedding invitation?
Layla in Planning, on August 27, 2021 at 10:50 PM

My mom might not come because she has concert tickets for the same day. Has anyone else received a ‘no’ for a reason so bad it’s funny? Trying to see if I’m in the same boat as anyone else.

Layla in Registry, on August 24, 2021 at 10:41 AM

For those of you who have had or are planning a micro wedding, did you create a registry? And how many things did you put on it? My mom and sister are insisting I make one, but it's only immediate...
