I'm sure this discussion is completely exhausted. But I am hearing from a lot of June, july, august brides. Our wedding is September 12, with a guest count around 275. We were waiting until June to pull the trigger on a reschedule. But after the news...

If you are having a traditional style wedding, seperate ceremony and reception locations with time for portraits in between, what time will the reception start? We have 250 for a plated dinner, I don't want to start too late because I don't want...

We are stocking the bar for our engagement party this weekend. There are tons of alcohol calculators online but nothing that indicates how much soda/mixers to get! Can anyone help me or lend me their shopping list?! I need to accomodate about 100...

We have our first wedding related event coming up soon, where we will be hosting an open bar. For personal reasons, My number one priority when hosting any number of people anywhere is ensuring they plan a safe way home. I planned to send out a...

Here's a shot in the dark! I've been told about a seamstress in Vancouver that does custom bridesmaid dresses and alterations, her name is Lily. I'm unable to find her through online searching and haven't been able to hunt her down. Does anyone know...

Because of our other lifes plans, My FH and I have decided to get married in 2020. But we are both really easy going- we picked a date, ceremony and reception venue less than a month after getting engaged. Should we be securing these locations now or...

I have recently gone and viewed a venue that I liked very much. I am going into this process with the understanding that when you need to accommodate 300 guests, the venue is not going to be GORGEOUS, as those places usually cut off at 150 capacity....

Has anyone ordered off JJS house before? I am looking for somewhere to get inexpensive (but not cheap) bridesmaid dresses, as I will be paying for all 8 of my girls dresses. The swatches look so different than the color represented online. Has anyone...

Is it necessary to send out save the dates if our wedding is not on a holiday? My family and friends are tight knit and everyone important seems to have gotten word on our date anyways. Also, with an Italian wedding of 300 its sometimes a blessing to...

A friend and I are both hosting similar parties and discovered we are having the same issue. While we won't be serving a dinner or buffet, we plan to have a ton of food being passed out and on trays and stations. I don't want guests to expect dinner,...
