More eco-friendly welcome bags?
Emily, on March 14, 2021 at 10:01 AM

How long does the surreal phase last?
Pheonix, on March 13, 2021 at 9:14 AM

I keep going through burst of excitement with my engagement, it doesn't quite seem real. We have told several people, I started dress shopping, but it doesn't seem real quite yet. How long did the...

Destination Wedding
Samantha, on March 10, 2021 at 4:42 PM

Howdy, how many guests are typical for a destination wedding? I want 100-200 guests (possibly) does anyone know of any resorts in Mexico that do weddings of this size?

Electronic invitations
Kayla, on March 13, 2021 at 8:27 AM

Was playing around with invitations online and saw that there was a way to send them electronically, and they would also be able to just rsvp from the invite. Thoughts on getting an invite to your...

Waiting to plan is killing me!
Nicole, on March 12, 2021 at 3:16 AM

The hardest part about having a wedding so far away is that I have 0 patience and want to plan everything. I want to buy everything for it. My wedding is more than 2 and a half years out and I know I...

Videography - why or why not?
Kelly, on December 5, 2020 at 10:08 AM

For those who are choosing to go with a videography, why? For those opting not to have one, why? I haven't decided if I want one for our wedding or not.

We're having a "destination" wedding where everyone invited will be coming out of town (about a 5 hour drive one way). We're having a welcome party at our cabin the first night for everyone and will...

Jessica, on February 3, 2021 at 9:04 AM

Some of our family members have opted not to come to the wedding because of their “fear” i’ve had a couple of them make remarks about watching it via live feed. We are not allowing cell phones during...
