561 days agoOur 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, but here I am with a laundry list of complaints....

621 days agoWe 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 sort of a classic rock roster. Anyone have any...

624 days agoI 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? Just for our first dance I worry about the...

625 days agoEveryone 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 spouse for their young kid, RSVPing for two when they...

828 days agoI 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 charge more than outside seamstresses? Is this to...

934 days agoWe 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 haven't paid for it, just sat on the fence for 3...

975 days agoWe 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 coordinator but I'm just not sure how many of their...

1030 days agoNow 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 people, and despite only having 25-30 guests and...

1045 days agoAre 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 think it is unlikely my fiance and I would make it...

1046 days agoOur 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 alternative would be to serve cupcakes later on as...

1100 days agoHas 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 gone and I feel like my maid of honor and friends...

1117 days agoWe 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 plan around covid restrictions. How much...

1148 days agoWhile 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 our friends and family? Our dinner will be held...

1177 days agoI'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 while people get seated for the ceremony? I'm...

1180 days agoI 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 low-ball me but I want to compensate her fairly for...

1192 days agoAre 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 thinking I may just do assigned tables. How has covid...
