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...
Hi everyone! I’m trying to get an idea of what your venues have allowed for a lower guest count than what was originally agreed to given the ongoing pandemic? We signed back in 2018 for 80 guests for...

It’s the season for spending time with your loved ones! Have you completed your guest list for your wedding? How is it looking? Are you inviting everyone who is near and dear to you, or are you...
Ok. I have been getting super frustrated with wedding websites because I'm confused with what I'm supposed to do. So Ive been reading that I'm not supposed to put my registry link on the wedding...
Signage is one of the easiest ways to personalize your wedding day. You can showcase your individual style while also providing important information for guests! From seating charts to hashtag signs,...
Part of me is a little apprehensive on how easy it has been for us to confirm vendors. I feel like I should be shopping around more but I also am pleased that we have only had to see one or two at a...
Does anyone have tips on where to start the process of planning? I know it sounds so generic to ask, but I feel so frazzled and don’t know where to begin!
So I’m planning on making a seating chart like the one below. All I can find is normal paper sized card stock from michaels. I was hoping to find pre cut so that all I have to do is print on them. If...
I am beyond excited about all of the projects coming up for the wedding. All of the decorations will be made by myself, so the to-do list is long! Over the last few weeks I have been working on...
Hello, very unsure bride here! I can't for the life of me decide what kind of shoes to wear! It might help to see what other brides wore/ are wearing? I'm not the type to usually agonize over what...

What are your thoughts on having an open bar? Do you think it’s always worth the splurge, or is beer and wine more than fine? In your opinion, is a fully stocked open bar overrated or underrated?...
Husband only wants to spend max of $1000 for photos. I feel like he is underestimating everything about wedding. Any thoughts of how much the average cost is? Or is $1000 doable?
I'm in the process of making my wedding invitation cards and I'm curious to know if I'm the only crazy person on this board. 🤪 Has anyone else decided to make their invitations?
I have to confess that I've never actually seen a garter toss in person! But apparently 37% of grooms still participate in this reception tradition! Will this toss tradition make the cut for your...
To toss the bouquet, or not to toss? 💐 That is the divisive question! Some brides are so over this outdated tradition, and don't want to drag out all their single friends onto the dance floor while...
Are you keeping the tradition of dancing with your parents at the reception with father-daughter and mother-son dances (or whatever family combo works for you!)? Or would you rather cancel this...
Are you SO over seeing an army of bridesmaids wearing the exact same dress? Or do you still like the traditional uniform look? It's time to vote on matching bridesmaids dresses! Keep or cancel? Photo...
We’re getting married in New Brunswick (Canada) but we have a fair amount of family coming from Ontario. Would this be considered a “destination wedding” (send invites ~8 months before wedding) or not...
I'm in a bit of a sticky situation. We had initially wanted a destination wedding, but due to lack of response and FH's father's health issues, we canceled that idea and are now doing a local...
Hi everyone! My fiancé and I got engaged on July/2019 and haven’t really started planning for the wedding since we’re thinking of moving in together this month. My mom, however, would like us to do a...
