Can a boutonniere be too big?
Mallory, on September 26, 2019 at 5:28 PM

Does it matter whose name goes first?
Tina, on June 3, 2014 at 9:26 PM

Does yours or your FH's name go first? And does it matter? Are you always consistent with how you write you guys' names? Or can it appear differently on different things?
