Charging stations
MandMHoagland in Planning, on June 9, 2017 at 11:12 AM

Wondering about charging stations for our reception. Has anyone done this in the past? Went to a wedding last week and guests went back to their hotel rooms to charge their phones. I think it would be...

BAM!! Non Pro pics (pic heavy)
MandMHoagland in Community Conversations, on October 23, 2017 at 8:08 PM

Everything was gorgeous. Had some minor mishaps, mom tripped over a photog bag and fractured her wrist but danced the night away regardless. Temple was beautiful, flowers were beautiful, reception was...

Guest Quilt
MandMHoagland in Community Conversations, on October 15, 2017 at 9:23 AM

Awhile back we decided that a guest book seemed rather pointless. After the wedding it would get put away, rarely, if ever to be looked at again. So we opted for a quilt. Possibly to be used as a wall...

BAS!! Amazing Day
MandMHoagland in Community Conversations, on August 30, 2017 at 10:42 AM

The wedding shower was Sunday and the ladies did such an awesome job, I was practically in tears. FH did great and made the rounds chatting with everyone. It was nice that he was able to meet a few...

First Fitting Fun!
MandMHoagland in Wedding Attire, on August 18, 2017 at 8:41 PM

Had my first fitting yesterday! Super exciting :-) Took out 2 layers of crinoline. Working on sleeves now. The pictures don't do it justice, but they never do. I was having some worries recently about...

Vendor invitations? What should be done??
MandMHoagland in Etiquette and Advice, on August 7, 2017 at 8:29 AM

Trying to figure out if I should send invites to some of my vendors. Specific invites also include rehearsal dinner information. The person officiating is also the florist and will be bringing his...

Cake topper arrived!
MandMHoagland in Community Conversations, on August 14, 2017 at 5:00 PM

Our cake topper arrived today and I couldn't unwrap it fast enough. Love it! FH is an identical twin and growing up he was known as the "red twin", so he became our red M&M. Had to share my joy with...

Do shower hosts get gifts?
MandMHoagland in Etiquette and Advice, on August 10, 2017 at 8:45 PM

Three of my aunts, along with my mom (mom, btw, is having the time of her life helping to plan a shower, yes I know the MOB shouldn't be included in such. But she had her heart set on it) are planning...

MandMHoagland in Planning, on August 4, 2017 at 5:19 PM

Started getting responses back from our guests this week. Today we received the first decline. Odds were good this couple wouldn't be able to make the wedding, but having the actual card with...

Officially feels real now! Invitations in hand and getting ready too send.
MandMHoagland in Planning, on July 27, 2017 at 5:51 PM

Everyone always says there is a time when the whole thing feels real. For me it wasn't the dress. It was picking up and stamping 150 or so invitations! Had to share my excitement.

MandMHoagland in Wedding Attire, on July 21, 2017 at 3:27 PM

I already know that I want a deeper wine/berry for my lips. This color is too pinky for me. More pics in comments.

Hair/Make up trial question.
MandMHoagland in Wedding Attire, on July 9, 2017 at 10:53 AM

Any ideas on what the best time frame is for these trials? How soon before the wedding? I don't want to have it too late and then be screwed by timing if I hate it. Currently thinking late August for...

Bride/Groom Etiquette Vent
MandMHoagland in Etiquette and Advice, on June 15, 2017 at 6:04 PM

Recently went to the wedding of one of my BMs. It was a rushed engagement/wedding due to pregnancy, but whatever. If they are happy that's all the counts. Either way, the family decided to have a...

Fell in love with these when I saw them. Spoke to a high school friend that was able to make them on her cricut for her etsy shop. Arrived at my house yesterday and they are super adorable. Planning...

Photographer Input/Perhaps Just a Vent
MandMHoagland in Etiquette and Advice, on June 1, 2017 at 4:50 PM

How much input did everyone have from their photographer in regards to clothes for e-pics? I get it, they have an expertise far beyond FH and I and know what works. Our photog wants to see pics of...

MandMHoagland in Etiquette and Advice, on February 5, 2017 at 10:54 AM

The jr groomsman we are planning to have in the wedding is currently in 8th grade. I've been trying to come up with a cute way to have my fiance ask him to be in the wedding but other than a box of...

Caricatures at reception
MandMHoagland in Community Conversations, on January 25, 2017 at 10:28 PM

Looking for feedback and thoughts from anyone who has used or is thinking of using a caricature artist as part of the reception fun. Did it go over well with guests?
