So my DJ was running a promotion and offered it to us we booked with him and he would throw in a free selfie station, is it tacky to have one, we are going for a relaxed fun vibe

We are at the planning stage where we decide where to go & what to do after the reception ends? Throw an after party? Go back to the hotel? We’re not going directly to our honeymoon destination...

My fiance and I have gone through half a dozen different wedding ideas and everytime we think we've figured what we want to do we change our mind a week later. How do figure out what we really want to...

We are thinking about not having a bridal party. My parents think I am crazy and should include our close friends, but we kind of just want it to be us. Looking for opinions on doing that or maybe...

Hi everyone, For those who have had or are planning to have a destination wedding (the requires a passport)...what is the etiquette/protocol with timing of sending out save the dates and invitations?...
I’ve been seeing a lot of comments from people about not paying the full amounts ahead of time. Like to just follow the deposit schedule in case anything happens. My fiancé wants to get all payments...
So, my fiancé and I officially booked a venue. We told our venue we would have up to 60-70 guests, and it says up to 70 on our contract. Our wedding is a bit small. So my fiancé and I started our...

Is it just me or is smashing cake in each other's face kind of mean? Am I being overly sensitive about this or does it bother anyone else? I don't see the humor in it, and I can make a joke about most...

Okay so, I've already discussed with my sister who is going to be my Matron of Honor about this but I'm lost at finding the right words to explain to my fiance about why I don't want our previously...
Are you having a vow renewal with reception to follow? Or are you skipping the ceremony and having reception only? Are you wearing your wedding gown, etc..?

Is it tacky to email wedding invitations to some guest to save money?
First post here! Getting married October 1, 2022 in Milwaukee, WI. We reached out to 2 catering companies and had a tasting for each. We are having a hard time deciding which one we should go with....
