Is a rehearsal dinner necessary? I was thinking of doing a small dinner with just parents and our bridal party after the wedding rehearsal or just not have one at all. But from what I see, majority of...
Hello All, I know someone posted this before, but my question is different. My fiance and I both don't drink, but so we don't understand what does signature drink at a wedding mean? Is it necessary?...

With COVID going around what do brides have planned for bachelorette parties? My wedding is August 28th. We live in NY but want to go to new Orleans for a bachelorette. Any ideas?
