My fiance and I were planning on doing a popcorn bar for the late night snack, with about 3-4 different flavours (sweet and savoury options). When my mom found out, she guffawed at our choice, said we...
Our friend is playing the music for the ceremony and I'm not sure what to give her as a thanks. Money? How much? A gift? We have another friend marrying us, and I'm not sure what to get him either!...
We sent our invitations and the RSVPs are trickling in. We decided to only give plus ones to those in a relationship, or in some cases, where they might not know anybody at the wedding. Which, from...
Long post. Sorry. So for some context, these 2 girls offer a mobile hair and makeup service. I met them when they did our hair and makeup a couple years ago for my friend's wedding. I really love how...
Having my makeup and hair trial on Friday after work. Any tips? What should I bring with me?
Is anybody else feeling guilty about having a registry and bridal shower? My mom just sent out the invitations, and now I feel totally weird about the whole thing. I don't like asking for things or...
We got our invitations from Minted, which comes with free envelope addressing. AMAZING! I sent our guest lists to both sets of parents to double check everything. So here we are. Invitations ordered....
Hi Friends! My parents are hosting a couple's shower for my fiance and I at the end of June. The theme is "I do bbq". Decor is not my mom's forte, so she was kinda asking what we wanted. When I google...
So we just got our Rehearsal date and time confirmed, and its 7pm the day before our wedding. Since we wont be done until 8pm, I was thinking that we could do drinks and apps at a restaurant after,...
Our venue only has 6 1-hour slots available for rehearsals, and they're given on a first come/first serve basis. I thought I was being nice by sending my bridal party a doodle poll for their...
My florist has an amazing blog with very helpful posts. Today she posted about how to keep your wedding flowers looking great all day, which got me thinking...I REALLY want to enjoy my bouquet for the...
This sucks. We haven't asked much of our bridal party at all. I didn't even make anybody go shopping for dresses, we decided via email and ordered online. My parents are hosting our co-ed BBQ shower...
We have a really good friend who is a talented musician and singer who we were going to ask to play music for the ceremony. My fiance in particular wanted her to play one of his favourite songs as I...
My fiance and I just booked our honeymoon accommodations and we're stupid excited!!! We're taking a full 2 weeks, heading out to Banff, then Kelowna/Lake Country for some vinyard hopping, hiking, etc....
How many days are you taking off work leading up to your wedding day? We want to escape to the mountains for a couple weeks following the wedding, so I'm not sure how many days I want to take off...
We're thinking of switching from buffet to family style. It will cost the same and we like that its somewhere between served and buffet, and its a bit more homey. Neither if us have ever been to a...
I think its important for us to get away SOMEWHERE after our wedding. While we'd like to go somewhere really great like Greece, its not something we can afford right after the weeding. So I thought we...
Wondering if anybody is wishing they could go back and un-ask people to be in their party. I kinda wish we kept it simple and just had a maid of honour and a best man, and no other bridal party...
I didn't think it would be super difficult deciding who gets a plus one, but dangit, it is! Also annoyed at people who assume they get one. My fiance called his aunt to get his cousin's addresses from...
Oh man you guys. I'm overwhelmed. I just got back home from a consultation with a day-of coordinator. Originally, we weren't going to have one, but as the day approaches, and I see the number of...
Am I alone in thinking that weddings have gotten way out of hand with the gifts? Gifts and favours are nice, and great if you're doing them...but like, holy smokes...for everything?!? Bridesmaid and...
Wanna pick some people's brains here. I've never booked a block of hotel rooms before and wanted to know if my experience here is the norm. Our wedding venue is about an hour outside the city, so we...
We have a mixed bridal party. I have a guy friend standing up with me and my fiance has a girl friend standing up with him. She will be getting her hair and makeup done, so she'll have to be with us...
Looking for opinions. We're not doing appetizers or a late lunch, but I looked into the cost of doing a snack type thing as an addition food item for our guests and thought a popcorn bar would be...
My florist just announced her pregnancy. She's self employed, and its really great that she's actually able to take a bit of a maternity leave. She emailed all her 2019 couples to let them know that...
Is anybody else completely over all those cutesy signs? I find myself rolling my eyes at them when I'm looking though inspo photos lol. I also think they're completely unnecessary. Its a dessert...
We're doing our engagement photos early November, and I'm pretty stumped for what to wear. Google isn't terribly helpful as all the photos look like they're taken in much warmer climates. Its...
Our wedding venue is about 45 minutes from the city, and I assume our bridal party, parents, etc will want to crash nearby and not drive home. My fiance and I were in a bridal party a couple years ago...
So I'm a dummy. My fiance and I decided that we didn't want to pay our florist for the setup and delivery charges, thinking we would just...you know...do it ourselves. You know how they say hindsight...
DIYers...I can't believe how expensive dumb table numbers are! Our colours are dark green and gold. Our venue has these beautiful wood rectangular tables, and we're doing Italian Ruscus down the...
Do you feel alone in the planning process? I wish my finance would take more initiative. But he's not a planner. I'm very much feeling the financial burden right now. We had to give our venue...
My Maid of Honour is pregnant and due in February!!! EEEEE!!!! The girls all ordered their dresses already, and her's is too big, so even if she doesn't loose a ton of the baby weight before next...
