What elements are common to ww that aren't part of your social circle
Michelle, on April 7, 2021 at 12:00 AM

Certain songs? Reception styles? Gift types? Anything you have come across that is foreign to your circle.

Photos you don't care about or don't want
Michelle, on April 9, 2021 at 4:15 PM

Are there any popular shots that are not important to you at all? For example, not wanting photo coverage of getting dressed or something else

A drink before the ceremony?
Christina, on October 28, 2015 at 4:00 PM

Mimosas while getting ready? A shot to calm the nerves before the first look / walk down the aisle? A beer at the bar in the venue? Almost all the 'getting ready' pictures I see have some glass of...

Human alternative to welcome sign?
Michelle, on April 12, 2021 at 3:24 PM

Is anyone greeting your guests as they arrive? Guestbook attendant, ushers, parents if any, the bride and groom, someone else?

Finally feeling excited again!
Jess, on April 12, 2021 at 12:28 PM

We just got all of our RSVPs back for our May 15th wedding. I can't believe how high the turnout is... we invited 115 and 100 said yes. With our state's mandate, we are good to go with our 100 count!...
