What is a normal deposit for a photographer??
Tach, on August 9, 2011 at 3:08 PM

The topic pretty much says it all. I'm just starting to look at photographers and I'm wondering how much is the norm to have to put down. Did you guys have a set amount or a percentage??

Best place to buy envelopes?
Christina, on March 29, 2019 at 9:03 PM

I'm getting my invites and everything from Vistaprint, but I want to find a grey or red envelope to put them in. Other than Office Depot or Staples, where should I look?

Does anyone know if vendors consider the day after Thanksgiving a holiday? Would they charge holiday or Friday pricing? Any ideas?

Walking yourself down the aisle
Casey, on March 18, 2019 at 2:34 PM

So, my parents are pretty adamant that they aren’t coming to the wedding. Everytime I offer a solution to their excuses, they have another excuse. I’ve always dreamt of my father walking me down the...
