All drinks in a cup or can?
Kelsie, on May 30, 2019 at 1:45 PM

So our venue doesn't allow bottles, as I know a good bit don't. Originally we were going to just have nicer, plastic cups for wine and cider and get cans for the beer. But now I'm wondering if we...

My fiance is a police officer! 4/5 groomsmen are also current/former police officers. We aren't having a "police themed" wedding per say, more of a rustic spring barn wedding. I wouldn't mind finding...

Ceremony Programs: Folded, Flat, Fan, or Full Size?
Lynnie, on May 31, 2018 at 6:05 PM

Ceremony programs are a great place to get creative and incorporate your wedding style or theme, but they are also an easy cost to cut out of your total budget! What's your program plan? Are you...

What time should my officiant arrive?
Arielle, on August 31, 2019 at 5:01 PM

Hey all! I’m doing a checklist for my DOC and one of her questions was “what time is your officiant arriving?” Our officiant is a good friend of ours and said he’ll be there at what ever time she...

I will be walking down the aisle in October, wearing a cathedral veil. Who should walk behind me and hold up the end of my veil? Should it be someone from the wedding party? Could be another close...

Unplugged ceremony sign
CourtneyBrittain, on August 6, 2019 at 4:20 PM

Is there a less wordy way to write this? I’m making my own signs and my parents think this is too wordy. How do I get the point across of no phones or cameras while still sounding friendly? Thanks!

No pictures during ceremony
AliciA, on January 28, 2018 at 10:18 AM
