Where to livestream!
Brittany, on November 14, 2020 at 2:57 PM

If you’re doing a livestream, what site/equipment are you using? I have a lot of guests that are petrified and will not be attending because of it, so I’m trying to get it all planned out ASAP.

Corona b List Invitations
Kris, on November 9, 2020 at 3:11 PM

I know normally that is against etiquette to have a B-list with invitations, but with Corona, has anyone invited their smaller guest list then added to it as people declined? We can currently have 60...

Personal vows - fiancé gonna come thru?
Hannah, on November 5, 2020 at 8:43 PM

Love note vs vows (first touch)
Morgan, on November 5, 2020 at 5:10 PM

We are doing a “First Touch” instead of first look. I always see couples reading stuff, are they reading their vows that they will say to eachother at the ceremony or something different?

Bridal walk song
Natalie, on November 5, 2020 at 6:05 AM

I need recommendations for my entrance song. I kinda like At last by Etta James but I think it’s too fast. I don’t know. Is that silly?
