Now that we've postponed twice, I feel like the anticipation has built our wedding day even more, to the point where I'm VERY nervous, in particular for the ceremony. My fiance and I are very private...

Our wedding was 2 weeks ago and there's one vendor in particular who has left an awful taste in my mouth. They have 5 star reviews on all platforms and were highly recommended in all the local groups,...

I found the alteration quotes from the store I ordered my dress through to be a bit high. Something like $250 just to shorten the train if I remember correctly. Is it common for the shops to...

We will be walking down the aisle to an instrumental version of Your Song by Elton John, exiting to You're My Best Friend by Queen, and our first dance will be to Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton, so...

Everyone is trying to invite their sister's hamster's uncle's mechanic as their plus one, asking to "keep me posted" weeks after the RSVP-by date, swapping out their addressed invitations to their...

I had my alterations appointment yesterday and opted for a 4-6" sweep train as I dont like bustles and a longer train is impractical for our wedding. Now I'm worried I won't be able to dance with it?...

Our off-site caterers cannot accommodate cake cutting later in the evening and will be taking the cutlery and plates, obviously. Is it normal to cut the cake immediately after dinner? I'm thinking an...

We have postponed our wedding three times now, so we have been engaged for 3 years. The dress I bought 2 years ago is now too small and I fell out of love with it. I think I found "the one" but I...

We are having a tiny wedding of 25 people and I can't decide whether I want a day-of coordinator. We need someone for set up and tear down of our venue. I've been quoted $1000 for a day-of...

Are you having a set end time or are you leaving it open ended? We are having a Thursday wedding. For ease of planning I like the idea of ending at a certain point, like 10:30 or 11:00? Honestly I...

Has anyone else out there had to postpone (twice) and feel like their friends and wedding party are "over it"? I've been engaged for 2 years, pushed the wedding to next year again. All of the fun is...

We are having a really low-key reception. We really just want it to feel like a big party for our tiny wedding of 30 people. Our wedding was postponed until next year, so hopefully we won't have to...

While we are waiting to see if we can even get married in September, part of me is averse to the idea of a socially distanced, masked event. For our 40-person wedding, will we even be allowed to hug...

I'm having a hard time finding instrumentals of songs I'm considering to walk down the aisle to. What are you playing for your aisle walk and exit song for after the ceremony? Are you playing anything...

I have a friend doing my hair and makeup on site, and we of course are feeding her and a plus one. What is everyone paying for hair and makeup so I know what I should be offering?? I know she will...

Are ceremony seats unassigned unless reserved? Has anyone here assigned tables instead of seats? Our wedding is super small (35) and it just seems silly to micromanage assigned seats, but I am...

We are saving for a house and we visit the beach every summer when we visit family, I just can't seem to force myself to want to go anywhere, especially when I want to skip it and save for a house,...

I've checked the vendor listing but a lot of them are companies, not individual officiants. Can anyone recommend a non-religious officiant in yyc? I've met with Married by Cole but looking to meet...

I'm thinking of yard games and tables games but just curious what everyone out there is doing for fun since dancing is out.

We are virtually meeting a potential officiant next week, and I have no idea what to ask him. We are having a short non-religious ceremony so I'm not sure what to look for or ask of the person who...

Financial obstacles keep popping up, my car breaking down, etc. So we are thinking of postponing another year. The only deposit we have put down is for the venue but hard not to feel disappointed The...

Our venue has a very large 60" tv mounted to the wall. The rest of the venue is beautiful - I'm trying to decide whether to play a slideshow and roll with it, or try to hide it with a tulle backdrop...

So far, I have found wedding planning to be very stressful. I was convinced once I finally booked a venue I could relax...WRONG. I find myself being worried about our guest list being too small, which...

We are having a small wedding of 25 - 35 people. We were looking at a catering company who can provide all the plates/cutlery/glasses, linens and tablecloths, buffet style with cleanup included. They...

I'm having a hard time making peace with our tiny guest list. I dont have any family and we aren't very social people. Our guest list is just over 30 people, and that's including people we may invite...

We are working with a very limited budget and I haven't found much I like locally. We were going to go see a venue while we were visiting family 6 hours away - Unfortunately I was too sick with...

First post! We are planning a very small 35-person wedding. I hadn't intended on having a bridal party at all but my fiance wasn't aware and asked his best friend to be his best man - oops. He won't...
