rsvp Card - No envelope
Tina, on May 24, 2019 at 5:55 PM

I love the invitations that we just received but I just realized that our RSVP cards did not come with envelopes and there doesn’t appear to be a way to order them from the site I got them from. Have...

We are having a small wedding ceremony (immediate family only) with no bridal party. I have one brother and he is our officiant and my fiancé has no siblings. I am very close with my aunts though and...

Elopement Ceremony
N, on May 22, 2019 at 3:08 AM

Hello! I was wondering whether I could get suggestions for how an elopement ceremony should flow. With it being my fiancé and I with 10 other people, do I still need to “walk down the aisle?” Should...

Which side do you put your families on?
Gen, on May 16, 2019 at 3:21 PM

So of course the front rows at our ceremony will be reserved for our families. I’ll be standing on the right (as is traditional in Jewish weddings) so I was under the impression that my family would...

Elizabeth, on May 17, 2019 at 8:23 PM

We're going to the courthouse to sign our marriage license prior to our scheduled ceremony and reception. Our ceremony and reception are taking place at the same venue and we have a small number of...

Surprise! We are already married
Andrea, on May 17, 2019 at 1:33 PM

Has anyone had a secret, very casual ceremony and then had another on their big day at a later date?

String Trio vs Quartet?
Megan, on May 16, 2019 at 10:03 PM

Hi! We are having an indoor ceremony for roughly 130 guests and am debating the string trio vs quartet. Both can play the songs we like but seems the quartet gives “extra depth”. Can anyone talk from...

Reserved Signs?
MrsD, on May 13, 2019 at 2:12 PM

How did you do reserved signs for the first two rows? Did you just put them on the aisle chairs for the first two rows? Did you reserve specific seats for MOB, MOG, FOB, FOG? I'd prefer our parents...

Rachel, on May 15, 2019 at 6:40 AM

I am chronically I'll. I have something called POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). It basically means that I can't stand for very long without passing out or falling. We are planning to...

Videographer and missing footage
Janet, on May 15, 2019 at 12:16 PM

My daughter was married in June ‘18. For nine months we tried to get her video. When we finally got it, there was no footage of precermony, no family walking in during the ceremony and half of her...

Candlelight Ceremony - too much?
Kaza, on May 14, 2019 at 12:35 PM

Hello, So it's been twirling in my head awhile and now I'm starting to get paranoid. FH and I started brainstorming and decided that we wanted a "different" ceremony. Bear with me... This is an indoor...

Aisle Runner on brick?
Kat_, on May 9, 2019 at 9:28 PM

Hello everyone! I’m curious if anyone has ever used an aisle runner on brick before? Our aisle is brick and I’ll need a runner so it doesn’t snag my dress (and I just love the look). Im thinking a...

Length of Vows
Fulya , on May 14, 2019 at 11:06 AM

I am currently working on writing my vows and I think it’s in a really good shape right now. However, it is 469 words long. I assume this is too long but I really do not want to change or remove...

Are silk flower petals tacky?
Sam, on May 5, 2019 at 1:22 PM

I'm planning on lining the aisle (outdoor stone pathway) with white petals and having guests throw pink petals when we walk back down. I guess my concern is are people going to think throwing silk...

My FH is a devout Catholic and I'm a non-denominational Christian. We're also from two different states (IL/NY) but we've made our life together in DC. Unfortunately as a result we've had to do a...

Are courthouse weddings religious?
Jessilynn, on May 7, 2019 at 9:44 AM

Hey all I was wondering if in a courthouse wedding they have an officiate like a priest or something for the wedding. If so if we could request that NOT happen but to get wedded by the judge or...

Is it okay to say: "ceremony Tbd" on a wedding invite?
Marina, on May 3, 2019 at 11:53 AM

We're getting married in September, and we already have the reception location. We haven't figured out the ceremony yet but I would love to order and send the invites this month, so that guests have...
