Hi all! What flavor cake do you plan to have at your wedding? And how do you plan to decorate it?
One of the most important aspects of planning a wedding is determining what food will be served. I am curious to know how everyone selected their meal options and who catered your wedding? I also...
How much did you pay per person for your hors d'oeuvres? Trying to get quotes and I want to make sure I'm not getting ripped off lol I realize it'll be different in various geographic regions.
Does anyone know of a website that will show you how your table linens and decor will look when it's put together? I'm trying to imagine what my setting will look like with centerpieces by drawing it....
Hello, my fiancé and I are thinking of using heavy duty plastic plates instead of using china rental. Our caterer quoted us $600 just for china plates rental, we’re hoping to just use that...
Hello! We are having a small wedding with a maximum of 40 people. I'm thinking I would like to do one long banquet table but I'm having a hard time with the seating chart. Do the bride and groom sit...
Okay so our reception is outdoors on a lanai over looking Jacksonville Beach the end of March early April. Do you think I need heaters? It could be low 60s worst case scenario high 50s. But it's...
Hello all! This is probably a silly question, but I cannot come to a conclusion on what to do about my dang water glasses!! We are having a self-serve water station at the reception, but the water...
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...
What is everyone doing for place cards at dinner?! I've seen a lot of really fun and unique ideas, but want to see what you guys are doing!
Hi there! I was wondering if there are any brides who have either catered through Mission BBQ or if you had them cater another event. And what your experience was. I found a venue I love, but my...
Hi! I've got an etiquette question. I'm planning a wedding in my hometown, and have so many family friends. I also have a large extended family and a 12-person bridal party, most of whom have spouses...
My uncle and my mom are walking me down the aisle as my father passed away 14 years ago. Any recommendations on what to dance to. My uncle has been a father figure for me my entire life. Thanks in...
Hello! our reception spot does not allow for us to begin cocktail hour until 5:30 and our ceremony (catholic church) will end around 4pm. the location from the church to the reception space is maybe a...
Until last week, I was super excited about my son's wedding. Now, I'm dreading it. It's a big wedding over 200 guests. However, I will be the only one from my son's side at the reception. My...
So we are not having an open bar at our wedding. We will be either doing a BYOB or purchesing all of the alcohol our selfs and having the ones who plan on drinking pay us per drink. If we buy them our...
We have some games picked out to play at the reception. (Already married, big reception in about a month.)I'm struggling with when to do them. When guests arrive, they will also have a Wedding...
Hi! One of the venues I am considering consists of various cabins on a lake. The venue is very DIY. The only upfront cost would be to rent all of the cabins for the entire weekend. My question is,...
