3134 days agoOkay, so technically I've been back on the forum while married for a while now... but now I have pictures to share. First up, I have the obligatory Will-Smith-pose-"LOOK AT MY WIFE" pictures. She did her own makeup partly because it was cheaper and...

3205 days agoHey, guys -- so our headcount wound up being 2 higher than I anticipated, so where before I was expecting to put 4 tables together end-to-end to make a long banquet table type arrangement to seat 16, I'm now modifying a table arrangement the caterer...

3240 days agoWho's excited for latkes and/or sufganiyot? In useful information: I've just heard that if you're Jewish and you need Chanukah candles, you can contact your local Chabad house and they'll give you some either for free or very cheaply.

3242 days agoI was browsing Offbeat Bride's "Jewish" tag and noticed a couple weddings where they had music for circling, and now that I think about it, that does seem like a good idea since otherwise everyone's just dead silent while you walk around each other....

3370 days agoI've looked at a bunch of different ways to arrange mine, and I think the one that makes the most sense so far is to group them by the type of dance that's easiest to do to them, then sort by BPM from slowest to fastest, and put the high-energy...

3373 days agoThey asked if we had any favorite dishes we'd like or what we were thinking generally for entree options. At the tasting, they made us potato gnocchi with dairy-free pesto -- so good! and it looked so fancy! -- so FI asked for that, and I suggested...

3376 days agoSo it turns out we don't need to include an RSVP card because the one guest who might strongly prefer one won't be invited after all, and I'd been thinking our programs and invites were a little boring, so I wandered the internet in search of free...

3396 days agoAs of yesterday, we've seen all four venue options we were considering, and I finished running the numbers on all of them today. It so happens that our favorite venue and caterer is also the cheapest after tax and service charges -- they're including...

3402 days agoSince the last post with that call was quite successful and amusing *g* One of our artist friends has agreed to do our ketubah for a very reasonable fee, so now we just need to decide on our text! We've asked our rabbi if she has any requirements,...

3411 days agoMany of you have been privy to my venue-finding struggles, and some suggested I look at my school. I'd looked at the alumni center, but it hadn't occurred to me to look at the student union. Turns out, my school will rent a HUGE room in the student...

3416 days agoFloral budget advice generally assumes the wedding party will all need some kind of floral accessory, but FI says she doesn't want bouquets, just a few centerpieces for the reception (maybe 2 or 3) and some small arrangements in glass bottles/jars to...

3417 days agoA lot of you already know, we're having maybe 17 people tops at our wedding. I'm still researching venues in case I can find something better than our backyard within our budget. I'm finding a few venues within our budget that hold from 60-100 people...

3421 days agoI'm still very fond of the idea of a tear-off RSVP card, so I'm keeping that from the previous version, but not much else. I'll put links to the images in the comments, not sure if links in the start of a discussion will get me banned for special...

3421 days agoI've redacted potentially identifying details. I'm not sure I like how much gray there is, I was thinking of switching out most of it for blue and making the text that's currently blue gray instead. I've been staring at this in Illustrator all day,...

3435 days agoI imagine in larger (like >=30 people) weddings, processional music serves as a cue to shut up, put away your phones, and start paying attention. But when a third of your dozen or so guests will be standing up with you (so your aisle is like... two...
