My FH and I are paying for the majority of our wedding, with my mom chipping in a good chunk of money, and my FH's parents chipping in some as well. Our wedding is about 60-80 guests total, so on the...
So I have a dilemma. Are mothers invited to Bachelorette parties? That would seem kind of odd to invite them but idk. Also what is the purpose of a bridal shower besides gifts? Don't guests get gifts...

Casual celebration party - 60-70 people - self serve drinks. How did you know how much alcohol to buy? And what type of beer/wine brand etc? Did you buy only wine and beer or hard liquor too? Keg(s)...

Hi all, FH and I agreed we wouldn’t do bachelor/bachelorette parties. Neither of us love being the center of attention. Plus, with his groomsmen, I honestly don’t trust them to a) not take him to a...

Https://imgur.com/a/qy5udfm so I bought this dress yesterday for my engagement party. My theme is winter wonderland so I thought it kind of gave wintery vibes (it has silverish rhinestones on it also...

We had an engagement session booked for Oct. 13th but we changed it to Oct. 20th for person reasons. The day comes, we had to run an errand so we let out photographer know, she was fine. In the end we...

My shower is next weekend, November 2nd and I have no idea what to wear due to weather. Does anyone have (or has anyone had) a late fall/winter shower? Can you share what you’re wearing/wore? thank...

We're starting our rehearsal guest list now because we have to reserve our spot at the restaurant we plan on having it at by end of December due to their high demand. We plan on inviting only those...
So... plan A failed. Tried it on and it was WAY too low cut. Now I've got 2 days to go and here are my options. The bridal shower theme is Hawaiian. Options are: 1. White top white paints 2. Gray...

Wow the last two weekends have been so busy! My friends threw me such a fun 80s themed bachelorette party. They rented a pink leopard bus and we ended the night at a Mega 80s concert. The following...

I’m going back and forth on the idea. I’ve seen a lot of people doing destination bachelorette weekends and I love the idea—especially since I’ve never been much of a partier. Renting a cool Airbnb in...

My sister/MOH is wanting me to send her a list of who I want at my bachelorette party and what I want to do, but I have no idea. I have 5 bridesmaids, and only two are in the state where the party...
