Were getting married in May 2009, Im having people fly in and stay at whatever hotel they choose as people have different price ranges. We’re getting married at treasure Island and then we rented out an area at the Treasure Island Buffet for a Champagne Brunch. Its about 50 ppl. Any ideas for after? Is that enough for having people come all the way out to Vegas? Its not like I can invite 50 ppl up to my room after? And we don’t have a lot of money.
Well I had this planned then my fiances mom made me feel bad for not doing more since im having people go there. I had thought of saying meet us for Karaoke and drinks later tonight. Were driving down with our kids and then on Monday were all leaving on a cruise.
I just wanted to get some feedback if I was doing enough.

My fiance and I have been engaged for a year and a half. We want to have a destination wedding. His family is super supportive and up for anything. "Just tell us when and where" is their feeling. My parents are divorced. My dad’s family has not been involved in my life since their seperation over 10 years ago. After discussing preliminary plans for a destination wedding last year my mom told me that she wanted me to reconsider; and my dad said he didn’t think he would have a very good time. Since that time we have looked at local venues. Everyone tells me it is my day and I should do what I want. My fiance has been super supportive and easy going about the whole thing. He has been so patient! I just want to get married! I don’t want to upset my family by making a choice that they feel is "purposefully excluding people". For example, my grandmother would not be able to attend. But it has been in our plan all along to have a party when we return to celebrate with everyone!

My mom bought me the book "Bridal Bargains" and it said that most bridal shops tear out the tags from the dresses so you can’t actually see who made it or what fabric content is of the dress. Is this true?

I’ve only been to one bridal shop in the last year but all of the dresses had the original tags on them. I was just wondering if this "tag ripping" policy was really that widespread.

We are kinda planning an October 1st 2011. Wedding in Myrtle Beach SC. We are sure how to go about planning & when to start?
We want something small. Just bridal party, parents, possibly grandparents & a few other people who we know will be able to come. Under 30 people.
His mom has a time share so we will be able to use that. We are thinking getting married early in the week so we can kick everyone out (lol not really but yes!) & have the end of the week/weekend for our short honeymoon. My fiance will only have a 5 days vacation next year. Plus the weekend before & after. We aren’t sure if we want to go with a venue since the beach is free & public.

Where do we start? We are from Pittsburgh PA (16 hours away)
The cheaper the better! We wanted to spend under 5k…but now we are hoping to do it for less. There is no point in spending a lot of money on 1 day! We know how much we mean to each other we don’t need a huge wedding to prove it. We are have already been together for almost 7 years. Plus our parents have {content} to help us.

I am trying to decide on wedding cake flavors. We are having a luau themed reception on July 24th. The grooms cake is going to be a pig, kind of looks like a roasted luau pig, and then a three tier cake for the main wedding cake. I am thinking of having one layer Lemon with a raspberry filling, but I am out of ideas for the rest of the cakes. My Mom is a cake decorator so I can have any flavor, I just don’t have any idea. Thank you!

Okay, so my fiancée and I want to have a wedding at the church in Silver Dollar City in Branson, Mo about four hours from where we live, part of the package includes a reception with flower, photography, carriage ride, cake, buffet dinner and the actual wedding. We can only have 55 guests so my parents want us to have a regular reception back home so all relatives and friends can come.
They are paying for it, so we say why not? :->

I was wondering if there were any etiquette rules that I should know about? My mom wants to have it on my dads 50th birthday. My dad wouldn’t want to make it all about him, it would be fun because we could sing happy birthday to him and surprise him with a black cake. Plus it would shut up my sister in law that says I cant get married during her birthday month, if my dad can share his 50th birthday, she should be able to share her birthday month, right?

So, any etiquette rules that I should be aware of?
Its not about my dads birthday. It just happens that would be the best date for it. My mom doesnt want it to be a birthday party, no birthday decorations. She just said that it might be a nice memory for me since its just a second reception.

My parents are worried that older relatives will feel bad that they didn’t get to come to the actual wedding.
Thanks for the answers. The actual wedding would be about 3 weeks earlier. Its a destination wedding with a reception back home. The reception would be on his birthday but our aniversary would not.

again my fiancee and I are having a destination wedding and my parents and his thought it would be a good idea if my parents paid for my trip and his (divorced) parents paid for his. His dad lost his job and his mom doesn’t have enough money to pay for his in full. Should we (myself and fiancee) just pay for his trip? What about the reception? Who pays for what and what if his parents have the money to contribute, then do we?

My fiance and I live in California, which is where we are having our wedding. However, some of our family members can’t attend due to the cost of traveling. His family lives in Oklahoma and mine in Connecticut. My mom and MIL have both suggested having local, less-formal parties after the wedding for each side of our family, for people who can’t travel. We could also invite some of their friends to those parties (even though we can’t afford to pay for their friends to come to our formal wedding reception).

How do we word these invitations? We of course would prefer for family members to come to our actual wedding ceremony if it’s feasible for them. Should we only invite people after they say they can’t come? Or should we let them know ahead of time that it’s an option? And how do we avoid giving the impression that we are looking for extra gifts? Is it rude to invite people to those parties, if they weren’t invited to the wedding?
Oh and to be clear, we ARE having a formal reception in California that our families are invited to, and we expect at least some aunts/uncles/grandparents will come.

My good friend is getting married in September and I just got an invitation to her bridal shower from her mom…. I have never been to a bridal shower before so I don’t really know what they’re for. Am I supposed to get her a gift for her bridal shower AND bring a gift to the wedding?

i mean 300+ pictures not pages!
sorry!
so i just got the photographer reserved for my 11.07.09 wedding
they either do photos or video for an event [[not both]] weird i know!

anyways we got a pretty good deal!
,200 with tax included for the package
we get 1 11X14
3 8X10
60 wallets
125 4X6 picts
a digital album i think its a 12X12 but i dont know the exact measurements its pretty big though with lots of pages! 300+

& the package had like big pictures but i didn’t want anything bigger than 11X14
so in exchange we are getting a regular album that holds 60 additional 4X6 picts of our choice of course

& it covers the whole event from 2 hrs before the church ceremony at my house to the park for picts till 10pm

& the thing is that my fiance doesn’t want to have a video
he says nobody is going to sit down to watch 8 hrs worth of a video not even 4 [[a basic package]] & its a waste of money

its not a money issue but he just don’t feel the need of one but my mom would want video to cover from the time im getting married till it ends!
she’s not paying for it but she says it would be nice!
wat do you think? i want at least a basic package to have some memories of it but idk if its really a waste of money! as long as i have the photos im happy ;D

Hi!

My fiance and I met 4 years ago in Mexico, Building houses for the homeless. So we would like to get married on our five year anniversary next summer in this beautiful mexican resort, because we met in mexico

I would still like to have a Bridal shower before we go & a reception with dinner, cake & dancing when we come back. We would like to play the "ceremony" video from mexico at our reception.

Does that sound like a good idea? Having the ceremony & reception separate?

I’m open to any suggestions thanks!
Oh I know I don’t throw my own bridal shower. My mom and my sister want to throw it for me. I was just wondering if it would be werid to have one,( the bridal shower & reception) if the wedding ceremony is in Mexico.

My parents live in Delray Beach but I am from New Jersey. I have to have the wedding down in Florida because my mom is not well and is not feasible for her to travel. My budget is only ,000 and that includes ceremony, reception, and photography. We don’t want a dj or anything else too extravagant. In fact, I would love to have it at a restaurant but I really don’t know the area at all. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and fyi… I’m really against beach or park weddings. I know this will cut down on costs but I am a very private person and I think I will get freaked out if there are "wedding crashers" if I get married in a public place.
