Would you prefer a Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon wedding?
Linds, on June 17, 2019 at 2:35 AM

How to plan a wedding on a budget
Lynnie, on April 25, 2018 at 4:05 PM

One of my favorite planning tips is to pick your top 3 wedding priorities to splurge on, and then try to save on everything else! It helps you focus your spending and keep the rest of your budget in...

My Ceremony Venue (church) does not have a middle aisle
Kennyeh, on September 14, 2017 at 11:39 PM

Big deal or no? We are having our ceremony in my church that I attended when I lived in Texas. My mom and my God parents still go to that church and the pastors there are great - so I don't plan on...

Last minute switch to a destination wedding
Kalia, on June 15, 2019 at 11:36 PM

After months of going to see venues and debating over the guest list (with kids & without kids) we finally decided a destination wedding will be best. Now I'm stuck trying to find a destination...

Text rsvp
Mrs. Putz, on August 6, 2018 at 2:40 PM

Has anyone done or used text RSVP. Instead of sending a RSVP card back or going on a wedding website to RSVP, the invitation just has a phone number to text to. Thanks for the advice.

Have you lied about your venue's capacity to justify not inviting someone?
Sam, on September 18, 2018 at 11:05 AM

Sometimes it’s the truth and you are genuinely at risk of exceeding your venue’s max capacity - but sometimes it’s also just a convenient excuse to navigate awkward invitation conversations! Today we...

So very excited. At first, I didn't think I wanted a theme for my wedding and reception, then I got to thinking about my first wedding. First one was just blah, nothing really special about it. It was...
