Gifts at Bachelorette Party
Keri, on June 20, 2023 at 6:33 PM

How many brides on here are giving gifts to their friends at their bachelorette parties/trips? I'm trying to figure out if I should create gift bags for them before the trip comes up. Is it expected?...

Are rehearsal dinners necessary for a small wedding?

My wedding is only about 50 people. We will do a rehearsal ceremony but I'm unsure about dinner. Is it normal to skip a rehearsal dinner? Trying to cut cost where I can lol thanks
