This didn’t cross my mind until now, our ceremony and reception will be outdoors (backyard wedding) in May and mosquitos are bad here. I’m probably going to contact a company soon to look into having...

Our wedding is on a Sunday but I know for certain I will take time off work from the Thursday onward because we have a bit of running around to do (Thursday pick up suits/drop off place cards, Friday...

My FH and I have been together for 7 years. engaged for almost 2. We are not the type to ask for money and plan to pay for the wedding ourselves. My FH's brother just got engaged this summer and his...

My wedding starts at 4 and ends at 11. I'm trying to think of clever ways to come up with the phrases to go with the times to write on our board. What does y'alls look like?

Sorry I know this is probably asked a lot, but I’m wondering what bridesmaids gifts that you’ve received/given turned out actually useful? I’m thinking to get my girls makeup bags (each in their own...

Hello, does anyone have any tips on how you can stop people from seeing other people’s rsvp. We picked and chose people for different things to keep the number small, and I don’t want people to type...

Anyone getting married December 4th? Most of our family and friends do not live local to us. I was thinking to order invitations now and send them out in July. That way people can make work and travel...
Has anyone had or are planning a New Year's Eve wedding? Is it hard to book vendors because it's a holiday?

Did you wait to see each other at the aisle or did you get a sneak peek of your spouse before your ceremony began? Photographer is now asking us which we prefer for portraits and I’m undecided.
Hi! My Fiance and I are having a lot of trouble deciding between 2 venues we like. Our wedding is next July, but summer weddings get booked fast, so we're hoping to settle on a place a year in...

Please share your ridiculous wedding stress dreams! I get them on the regular. Last night I dreamt that I forgot my wedding dress and wore joggers down the aisle instead. 🙄😂 Let’s hear ‘em!

I'm 28(!) days out now, and among some other chaos (my pastry chef just resigned on Friday, leaving me with no cake) I haven't yet heard from CP. I did my worksheet a few months ago, and have updated...

So I’m recently engaged. We wanted to get married in April 2022. We aren’t super picky about where we have our wedding, as long as it isn’t a courthouse. But here’s the problem: we are really trying...

I just got back from a lovely wedding today, fh’s niece. I wondered why they had it on a Monday, but found out at the rehearsal dinner last night - it’s also the groom’s parents 35th anniversary! I...

Did you find that you settled when choosing a wedding venue? I'm realizing that what my PERFECT DAY entails is not possible either because it's impractical, doesn't exist, or is $500 per person...
All of my bridesmaids and /moh do not live near me. i was planning on sending them boxes but i wish i could be there personally .. does any one have any ideas on making it special even though i can’t...

What is going in your ‘day of’ bag for the wedding (i.e. bandaids, bobby pins) and who is responsible for it (including things like your phone)? I am thinking of possibly giving this all to my mother...
