Zola Invitations
Allie, on May 10, 2019 at 10:11 AM

I ordered my invitations from Zola on May 2nd. They shipped yesterday and estimated delivery says May 20th. Does that seem a little long or am I just paranoid? So anxious to get these back!

How to politely decline money from in laws
Kelly, on May 13, 2019 at 4:00 PM

Fiance and I are not comfortable taking money from his parents. Long story short his family doesn't have a lot of follow through. We'd rather just decline and pay for our own stuff. We've already said...

Is fake flowers that tacky?
