So I'm on a really strict budget of 10,000 dollars and I would rather just make food myself and have it for my guest but all the venues I've found required their own catering. Has anyone had a wedding...
Has anyone used a QR Code for their RSVP? What are your thoughts, likes/dislikes? Pros/Cons? Does it help better with organization? Or is it more a hassle? Thanks!

We picked a venue and it’s a huge relief. Nowhere we visited had excellent food, and all were country club kind of uninspired vibes so we ended up choosing one that’s very close to home (right up the...

We plan on inviting 190 guests to our wedding. I'm guessing about 150 will end up coming, since there is a decent amount of people we're inviting who are out of state. So far we have room blocks at...

How many of you feel wedding favors for your guests are a mandatory thing, like your guests are actually expecting one? I personally have a drawer full of them. Hardly like any of them.

How much is reasonable for a room in a wedding room block? I don't want to price people out but I also don't want to choose rundown accomodations.
