Expert Advice About Beach Wedding Planning And Destination Wedding Locations.
I am going broke being in my sisters wedding trying to plan the bridal shower, paying for my dress and a bachelorette party! is it normal for the bridesmaids to split the cost of everything?
mom is pitching in 150 and me 100 and the others 40 or so, i just didn’t know it was this expensive to be a bridesmaid….lol…
Do they keep them? Are they just sitting in a box in the back of the closet?
There might be 8 people at our wedding. It would be his parents, my mom, sister, and his teenage nephews. I have no clue if i should get wedding favors or what they would be.
Should i just nix the idea of favors and just try to get them all different gifts?
I’ve picked out a necklace for his mother but i have no clue what to get anyone else, even my own mother. (She isn’t the jewelry type at all.) Sorry, i’m rambling, lol.
My dad died last year, so what is a nice way to word our wedding invitations with just my mom and his parents?
I don’t have an enormous amount of friends and my family is small. Unfortantely, my mom is the only one that can go to my bridal shower because it is to far for other family members on my side of the family and my friends are just five people. So, in total there will be about 15 people in my bridal shower…I feel like such a loser! I always hear bridal showers are suppose to be big
I know it varies on size and intricate things. But I want something simple, maybe a two or three tier, small, not overwhelming. With 2 or 3 flavors, nothing delicate or too intricate.
Yes I understand it varies on that, along with it being prices by slice or overall maintenance. But a general idea. My mom has yet to call the person we’re thinking about hiring.
I’m in the Boise, Idaho area. No more than 160 people coming, which are a good percentage of kids.
Here’s my problem…I’m trying to figure out a way to word my wedding invitations..my fiancee (groom’s) parents are still both alive, my mom is deceased and my dad is still living, but married a woman VERY shortly after my mom passed, so I DO NOT want to include her in any parts of that in the invitation..My fiancee and I are paying for 75% of the wedding, and I would say his parents and my dad are paying for about 25% of the wedding combined..please help!
I am planning a bridal shower for myself with my mom and close friends. We want to have an outdoor come and go shower at our local park. The shower will be sometime in July, so it will be very hot. Is it weird to have a come and go shower on a Friday night, instead of the Saturday or Sunday traditional showers? Would it be weird if I have fruit and dip, chips and dip, and lunchmeat sandwiches for the guests? We will also have a cake, is it ok if we just make one? We have the napkins and plates already, they are awesome daisy patterned. What kind of decorations do I need? Do I have to give every guest a favor for coming to the shower? Is this all a bad idea? Should I do the traditional way and have it the normal, standard way of being on a Sunday, serving nuts and punch, and ordering a bridal shower cake? Help everyone, I don’t want to look stupid.
My mom and future mother in-law have requested I put together invite lists for the showers they are each planning. We are getting married on Maui in August, and kept the invite list minimal. However, we are having a reception back home in October. Is it appropriate to extend the invite to people that are included in the reception, although they were not invited to the wedding? As untraditional as the destination wedding is, we still want to have some traditional aspects to other events.
Please send me some links to dresses that you recommend for a beach wedding.
The wedding is at the end of June, and will be taking place in the early afternoon, immediately followed by an evening reception.
I am looking for something classy and fun that I will be comfortable in. I’m 28, a married mom of 2, and in pretty good shape.
Thanks in advance!!!
I want my wedding invitations to be from my mother (my father is deceased) and my fiance’s children. It can also include us as hosts, but I mainly need help in wording the invite to be from my mom and his sons.
It seems like it’d be about ,000 to get one. My fiance thinks we should have one, but my mom thinks it might be a good cost to cut and I agree (we’ll have a photographer of course). Does almost everyone get a videographer nowadays?
Hi, my mother offered to let me wear her wedding dress in my wedding. The problem is that it’s ivory instead of white, because it’s from her second marriage. I can justify wearing a white dress and would definitely prefer to, but it would mean a lot to my mom if I would wear hers. Is there a way to have an ivory wedding gown dyed white?
I’m going to a wedding in Vermont in August. It’s outdoors, but it’s at this REALLY nice resort. My mom says that you shouldn’t wear white or black to weddings. Any ideas on what I SHOULD wear?
My mom is getting married in September and since it is a 2nd marriage for both, they want something very casual, more like a celebration or party, and as cheap as possible. Any ideas for perhaps a park or beach area that we could cater food, have some tables and chairs but they don’t want sit down dinner, just a casual hawaiian luau stlye party, outdoors in the daytime, located in south orange county between San Clemente and Huntington beach. Or inland.
My Mom is planning my bridal shower and we were going over who all is going to be invited and she mentioned a couple of friends of hers she would like there but I don’t have them on my guest list nor plan on inviting them to my wedding. So, is it ok to invite someone to the bridal shower and not the wedding? Thanks!
