I am having my wedding reception in a hall of a church that is basically a basketball court. I want to make the room more romantic and hide the basketball hoops by making it look tent like with a canopy of lights. Any suggestions would be great!

I see people posting on here that if you are looking on ways to cut down your budget, join the church b/c members are free.

Mine wasn't and none of my friends have ever been allowed the church for free. My mothers wasn't even free to members back in the 60s. So what I want to know--

who on here has actually used the church they were members of for free AND what church are you a member of?

I am 26/F and plan on getting remarried in another year or so. My first marriage only lasted 6 weeks but we had dated/lived together for 5 year prior to the wedding.

My Fiancee has never been married before.

Since this is OUR first marriage and really his first time for this - Am I really obliged to follow "second wedding traditions"?

I found cute wedding invitations at www.vistaprint.com for about one-fourth what other wedding invitations cost at other places. Do you think that it is cheap of me to go that route? I just cannot rationalize invitations that cost $5 a piece that people throw away in the end. I just want friends and family to know where and when it is. I also am having people RSVP by phone or a special email account I set up for our wedding. Your thoughts please...

So my wedding was a few weeks ago and everything was great with no major complaints...for this I am severly greatful and there were a lot of good people who supported us and showed up. But I was looking back at our guest list and comparing with our rsvp list and found that there are about 30 people (good friends and family even) who said they were coming and didn't show. Only about a handful have called with various reasons for their absence, but many have not called, sent a card or e-mail. What is up with that? I mean not to mention it will be ackward to see these people in the future w/o bringing up why they didn't show, but what about the $ we spent on the food that went to waste. I know these were gifts from us as the party-throwers, but don't these people care that we wasted about $600 on the no-shows? I am understanding that things come up but shouldn't these people and all of those who ditched out on weddings should be legally responsible for reinbursment; Judge Judy anyone?

this is a sec. wedding for her I don't really know him well. The first wedding I gave alot to her gift wise and money wise. I don't feel overly close to her anymore or her kids. She has never gone out of her way for me ever. I'm looking for maybe a small token to give to her but not sure what. They rent a house so any thing for the house is useless. They have been living together for 3years with 4 kids.

My fiance and I are planning our wedding for next spring. Our families are completely different. He comes from a very big Irish, Catholic family, and I come from a small Baptist family. He wants an open bar at our reception, which I am fine with except that my family probably wouldn't come because they don't drink and think that alcohol is a huge sin. so what are we suppose to do?

My wedding is on September 21, 2007 (six weeks) and I need my RSVP cards back. They were due on August 1st, now it’s August 8th and I desperately need them back. I was wondering if anyone knows etiquette for telling friends and family that the RSVPs are overdue. I need them back because I’ve got to order plates, cutlery, chair covers, glasses, napkins, food, cupcakes, etc. I’m running out of time and I’m at the point where anyone who hasn’t sent their RSVP back by now must not care about attending, so I’ll assume they’re not. I just want to disinvite everyone who hasn’t replied, we even have close friends who live two houses away who haven’t even HANDED us their RSVPs. Anyway, I need the help with wording, because I know I’m going to sound like a total b-itch if I write it.

Thanks in advance!

My wedding is in North Ga and pretty much everyone that would be invited would have to drive about 2 hours to get there. To me it is so worth it because the place is just beautiful but I don't want people to leave early because of the drive. The ceremony will be at 3 or 4 and then the reception right after.

I am giving tree seedlings as favors so i thought about maybe naming each table a differant kind of tree or go with differant Fall things such as ghourds, etc.... Any ideas? For centerpieces, i have glass vases with candles and around that i am putting craft straw and was going to put leaves, pinecones, indian corn, and so on. Any cool thoughts??Thanks

Last weekend he went out on his stag do, paint-balling and a pub crawl, he was out all night and I didn't phone or text him, I just let him enjoy his night with his mates. This weekend is my "hen do", now he is saying he does not want me to go out to any pubs or clubs, it was fine for him but why not me? Our relationship is rock solid, I don't drink so he has no worries about me getting drunk, I have no intentions of talking to guys or going to see male dancers/strippers etc...why can he have his fun and then be difficult about me going out?

and I do not want him to go as I think it is far to close to the wedding, he dos'nt even know where he is going. His mates although now in there 30's are all nuts and are always up for any laugh. Am being ureasonable? He says he can not do anything about now as the Best Man has organised it all. I am worried sick that something is going to happen to spoil our wedding.

I am having a very small wedding Sept. 1. I have only been planning since the the middle of July. I asked my long time best friend to be my matron of honor. I know she is going through a difficulty time (money wise) so I told her I would understand if she wasn't able to do it (she has to pay for the dress herself $60). She assured me she could and we made plans to go and get her dress 2 times in the past 2 weeks but she canceled each time with a lame excuse. She was suppose to call me back Sat and I have yet to hear from her. So, I asked someone else and the new person already went and purchased the dress. Should I have waited on my best friend? I know her feelings will be hurt but I didn't want to be stressed by waiting to the last minute. Did I do the right thing?

Their downtown rochester facility (at 1 Bausch & Lomb Place) is gorgeous (it has a glassed in, fairly large, private foryer) and would be so elegant for a reception site. I was curious if anyone knew off hand before I made a phone call.

Do you know of any restaurants that have private rooms or such for a nice afternoon wedding reception in Rehoboth Beach or nearby? It will not be a traditional wedding; more like a cocktail reception where people just enjoy the party and then gather around the bride and groom for a quick five minute ceremony, then back to the party? I would like to have a scenic view of something; the beach or pretty greenery. Please help.
Thank You.

I gave out chocolate truffles from a gourmet store in nyc. If your a chocolate lover, they are really great. She told me she went to the store and asked how much they were? And then asked if you charge less for bulk orders. Why would she do that? Why does she even care??

I just talked to a wedding photographer and she didn't mention anything about getting a "proofs" with any of the packages she offers.. The only thing she did say was that the photos would be avaliable online. I looked around a little bit online and found that some photographers are listing proofs and some are listing "online album". Is this a new trend with the online albums or am I getting jipped?? I think proofs should be included in the price...I am paying these people enough money! (lol)

We want to do something fun and unique for our family (a total of maybe 15-20 people). But we arent really sure if it is really for us. We were thinking about going for a week, having an amazing vacation, and then topping it all off with a wedding. Any info on when is the best time to go, where to eat, what resort is the best, etc. would be very helpful! Thank you.

Does an online wedding planner sound appealling to you? Not the cookie cutter software you find everywhere - an actual professional wedding planner. Someone who you could email/call with questions, have as an impartial person to run ideas by, get etiquette advice, use as a shoulder to cry on etc... Unlike a full service, hands-on wedding planner, the cost would be minimal. You could pick and choose the services you want/need - from invitations to a wedding website to RSVP services. Anything that can be handled online and doesn't need to be handled in person. Your own personal wedding professional to give you advice, tips and research information - saving you a ton of time. Does that sound valuable to you? Suggestions?
