Hello, I am planning a 50 guest wedding at my home (majority family and some friends). I was thinking of having a dinner party style reception but I worry it may get boring. I was thinking to not have...
My FH is very private - he hates having anything online that traces back to him. He allows me to post photos of him every once in a while (I’m not a super active poster anyway and only have Facebook)...
How much money is too much to pay for wedding invitations? The specific style that I would like runs about $200 for the number of invitations that I need but I’m just wondering if people would...
We’re from Calgary and so is our photographer. We have her for 6 hours. We are planning the wedding and ceremony a ways a way in Canmore. Should we scout picture locations, prior? Is there a place...

Hi! I’m looking into getting a shuttle service for our reception to avoid people drinking & driving. My question is, how does it work? Does the shuttle take people from the hotel to the reception...
