My fiance and I were going to have 5 hours of open soft bar (beer and wine) but then were told by our immediate family that that would be too much because our families tend to double fist drinks...
So my daddy passed last year, the plan was to get married after I finished school.(I’m 32 and in nursing school). Me and my fiancé have both lost our dads and I have no idea what to do.

Hello! I'm just hopping on here because I am so torn on whether or not it's okay to just serve cupcakes at my wedding reception! My fiancé and I are broke college students working to save enough money...

I can’t put a feasting table where tables 1,2,3 are because the wall to the dance floor won’t have enough room. My fiancè and I don’t want a sweetheart table and we don’t want to just sit at a round...

What do y'all think of having casino gaming tables at the reception? Not many of our guests are big dancers; they'll sit and appreciate music, but not dance. Plus, all of my finance's family members...
