Weddings - September 2007

I planned for a dinner rehearsal a couple of days prior to the wedding of my sister. But nobody seemed to have a clue what to do on that day, including myself. We didn't hire a wedding planner because we didn't think it is necessary (or practical) to even get one. How do you go about a wedding rehearsal, especially if you are the one who came up with the idea in the first place. Help?

I am 20 or so and just was wondering...are promise rings kiddish? I believe they aren't and actually show loyalty and respect for her and from her by wearing it. At least till you actually get married and get her an engagement ring.

What I mean by two weddings is... I personally want to get married in a church but my fiance is really not liking the idea... so I was wondering... is it okay to have a simple private church wedding... and then have a big wedding somewhere else?! is that even possible?

My question is....whats the difference between a contemporary and traditional?

I will have some invitations for my wedding/reception going out to out of town guests. Some may drive, some may fly. Where do I being the directions at? The airport? Or just do the directions for the church to the reception hall? I'm not sure what to do. Or do I take the guests address and do it that way? Or include both? ...I have no clue obviously. Thanks for all your help!

I currently have 5 bridesmaids for my wedding, my mom and my fiance are pressuring me to add one more, my fiance's brothers wife. I cant stand her, everytime I am near her I get a stomache ache, she is mean to me about everything, from weight to my engagement ring. She is constantly comparing us and whenever I talk about my wedding with the family she has to bring up her wedding. My fiance and I live across the contry from her, and at her wedding she left me with a bunch of strangers while my fiance sat at the head table. She takes every chance to tell me how much my fiances family dislikes me. She is just bitter and mean. I just dont want to have to "deal with it" at my own wedding. My mom says that she maybe nice if I have her in my wedding, but I am not holding my breathe and I dont think its worth the risk. What do you think? Would you just "deal" or would you say no way. I somehow fell by not asking her I am stooping to her level, I need advice! Thanks!

None of us at our office have been invited to our coworker's wedding (kind of understandable due to budgetary reasons). However, our boss is hosting a bridal shower for the coworker. 1. If I go to the shower and get her a gift ($20-$25 gift card?), do I also need to contribute towards another gift for the actual wedding? If so, how much? Are they two separate gifts? 2. If I don't go to the shower, do I need to get her a shower and/or wedding gift at all? We're on friendly enough terms but aren't super close, and no, we don't work in a posh or upscale office. Thanks!!!

My boyfriend and I are getting married next year, we don't have kids and we have decided to have a wedding with out kids. We are getting married on a small boat house with the ceremony on a large floating dock. We figured it would be safer and less people. We figured to send the invites out just addressed to the parents. But our problem is my older sister is one of my bridesmaids, she has two kids, I love them, but I can't invite them with out inviting my other nephews, with all the kids will be wild. How can I tell my sister with out hurting her feelings and making parents understand?

I am invited to a destination wedding and the hotel that the bride and groom are staying in is very expensive and gives no deals to the wedding guests. The bride and groom informed their guests of this and suggested that people find their own accommodations that are in their own price range, however guestst that will not be staying at the same hotel will have to buy a "day pass" which is approximated to cost around $75 per person, in order to enter the hotel property for the wedding. What should I do about the wedding gift? how much should it cost?

My mother started planning my shower and when we told my future MIL the tentative date she said she wanted to do a shower for just my fiance's side of the family. It seems a little excessive since both our families live in the same state. I'd rather just have one but if she wants to do this, I will accept it gratefully. She is going to be my MIL after all!

Anyway, my question is: are two bridal showers the norm? Most showers I have been to included both families. (Except ones where the bride and groom were from different states)

If you have always dreamed of that moment! when you are in that incredible white dress!! Would you wipe out that dream for the person you love. Not because they dont want to fulfil your wish or cant efford it but its because of death in the family??

A recent question about giving presents to parents on here got me to thinking. Last year when we got married, instead of a present I wrote a letter to my parents thanking them for their support and love, etc. (FYI they helped us pay for the wedding) They are the kind of people that dont like extra things around the house without a purpose. Also, we are buying them their "parent album" of the wedding once they decide which pictures they like. Tell me honestly, do you think I was rude and selfish to not get them a gift? What kind of gift did you get your parents?

We had a registry, but still got "original" gifts.

While I am always grateful for any gifts, I got some pottery. Not like useful pottery. Just some ceramic things in odd shapes that match nothing. I am not into pottery, wouldn't use it as decoration. (My 11 month old would probably break it)

So why do people insist on being creative? Wouldn't you rather give something that the recipient can actually use and enjoy?

Again, I am grateful that they gave a gift and everything, but it just makes me wonder...

So I am curious - how many of you out there shop from the registry and how many try to be creative?

I've been dreading this for months now, but its finally time for my fiance and I to create a registry. People have been asking us incessantly where we are registered, and I just can't put it off anymore. I'm really thankful that our guests want to be so generous, but the thought of registering makes me nervous. Its such a touchy subject and can easily be taken too far or abused by so many people and I really don't want to be one of them. There are specific things we need for our home like dishes (a lot of ours broke when we moved) and new linens and towels. All of our kitchen stuff is hand-me-down as well and a lot of it is well overdue to be replaced. I'm worried though, about registering for things we think we need, but don't actually need. Since we're both just starting out and stuff, we aren't really sure how to approach this. I'm not a greedy person, and I don't want to overdo it just to fill up spots on the registry. As a guest, what turns you off about a registry? Cont. below..
