Weddings - October 2007

Consider you have strong ties with your family but are also kind of a shy person. Would you rather be proposed to privately (with a ring) during a bubble bath in a vanity tub at a 4 star resort/hotel/yacht club,or, be surprised during a Christmas dinner with your family all around?

Is it ok to have three children in the bridal party but have an adult reception only? Those children will be there.
One is 9 the others are 7 and 3.

I had a friend tell me it was incredibly rude to make it adult only reception (she's got three children) if i'm having three children in my bridal party.

Did you print them on your home computer and printer or did you bring them to a place like Kinko's? If you brought them to Kinko's how did it work out? How would you recommend I have print these? I have about 45-50 to print.

my fiance and I are sending out the invitations ourselves and wanted to know the right wording for our names. Should we do my full name and his full name? Or should it be just my first and middle name?

For the last 2 months a friend of mine has been bagering me about being a bridesmaid for her wedding. I've kindly told her that I cant do it because I dont have the finances to afford it. My bro is getting married a month before her, and I'm a bridesmaid for my future SIL. I have lots to do because I am helping with decorations (we are making all the bouquets, centerpieces & favors) Plus the shower, dress & accessories for her big day. I can't do that for 2 weddings. (Plus we have to get the suit for my hubby because he is a gm for my bro) She said she will pick a cheap dress but I would have to travel to get to her wedding so thats another expense. She said I just don't want to share in her day but I do. I told her I would help with whatever I could & I will attend but I just can't be in the bridal party.(She was in mine so I feel as though she's looking for me to return the favor) Is it appropriate etiquette to be in the wedding because they were in yours?

My fiance is a little horrified by the idea of flash photography during the ceremony. I don't think we'll even notice the flashes, but I think we'll definitely notice the lack of photos from our ceremony and I know I'll feel sad as a result.

Anyone have experience either way? Should we limit flash photography to just the photographer to keep it at a minimum? If so, what's the etiquette for telling our guests to refrain from snapping photos?

I'm not sure the pictures would come out okay if we allowed photography, but without flashes. We are getting married in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window and I'm afraid we'll be backlit if we don't have flash pictures.

I don't even know where to begin finding a church and asking them to marry us. I was raised Catholic he was raised Methodist. Neither one of us attend church and are more spiritual than religious. Our families are set on us getting marrried in a church. We thought that we would go the Methodist route since I know the Catholic church is extremely rigid in their ways. Do I call a church and ask? I need help going about this.

Okay, I'm not completely sure what etiquette is in this situation. And people's opinions might help me out greatly. This is so why I love Yahoo Answers!

Anyway, I know that we get gifts for the bridesmaids and groomsmen and parents and all that jazz. What about the people who do smaller things for us? My cousin's best friend, who is pretty much like a cousin, is cutting the cake. My 13 year old cousin is going to be standing by the guest book. My mom's best friend is making pew bows, my mom's friend is playing the piano during the ceremony, etc. etc. What should I do for these people? Would it best to get them a small present or a gift card or cash/check or just a simple thank you note? If it's a present, how much should I spend? And if it's cash or check, how much would be appropriate? I am full willing to do whatever, I'm just curious as to what everyone else has done or what I'm "supposed" to do. Thanks so much for the help!

My family was invited to a destination wedding for my hubbys friend. We live in TX and the wedding was in Illinois. Anyway it was addressed to "Mr. Duster and Family" No RSVP needed. My hubby was asked to be a gm but declined because of financial reasons and our not knowing if we would be able to attend. Well we flew up to Illinois for the wedding, Me, hubby, and our 2 little ones. When we met them at the hotel they asked us what our kids were doing there? The bride said babies are not allowed. What was I supposed to do with my kids now? I told her, that I had not realized that since the invitation was addressed to the family. We would have never come all that way if we had know that. I told my hubby to attend the wedding without me but he refused. The groom appoligized numerous times and even offered to pay for the flight home(we declined) but the bride has informed me she wants to be reimbersed for the meals and the hotel room since we didn't attend and made her waste money.

My ceremony will be at a church, a a bit more formal. And my reception will be across town at the fairgrounds. It will be indoors, air conditioned, etc. It is a nice building, hardwood floors, beautiful very old building. But I want people to be able to dress down a bit if they'd like as to enjoy the evening reception. The wedding party may dress down a bit as well, itno simply nice summery outfits.
I am trying to decide if having time between the ceremony and reception would be ok, to give people time to change and travel. Also, a significant partion of my guests have children under 12, most under 5, so I was thinking that even though childcare will be provided on site at both locations. Parents might want to squeeze in nap time as well as giving the kids some time to expend energy before the reception.
The reception will be a family event, with music, dancing, and limited drinking, as well as a buffet for the kids & a supervised area roped off in a corner with puzzles, etc

After discovering that we are expecting, my fiance and I decided to scrap our previous wedding ideas and have either a civil ceremony or an "elopement" in Niagara Falls in January.

I still want to have a get together with the girls before, and a friend offered to plan a shower, but I don't really feel comfortable with a traditional shower, because I don't want my friends to think they should bring a gift when they won't be at the wedding ceremony, I'd also like to celebrate us expecting a baby and while I'm at it, consolidate my bachelorette party in there too (I am pretty busy, and just don't have time for lots of parties)

Would it be appropriate to invite my friends over for dinner and then surprise them by telling them its a bachelorette/pre-wedding/pre-baby party? I really want to stay away from "showers" because I don't want my friends to think they need to bring a gift, I just want to spend time with my friends before getting married..

Arranged marriages vs. romantic marriages. Do you think that marriages arranged by the family are more successful than ones that develop from the couple only?

My partner's sister will have a one year old and his step brother will have is 7month old, due to be at our wedding next July.
However, I am not keen on having babies at the church and then sat around the tables at the wedding meal. The tables will look lovely and will have chair covers etc etc. So, hence therefore I am not really willing to have tacky old looking highchairs (the venue supplies) for the babies. So I have said they can come but I am not giving them a place at the table. (Therefore will not be havcing a meal - parents should rbing their own in a pot or something). They can sit in their pushchair or on their parents lap - there is not enough places left also.
Help, I dont want to offend anyone, but its our wedding at the end of the day, yes they're my partner's family but he thinks whatever I want. Please, any suggestions.???

My husband-to-be wants to put a note in our wedding invitations for April 2008 to the effect: "NO wedding gifts - not even money or shop vouchers please."
I feel as it (both) our second marriage(s) and we do not have a lot of money to spend on the wedding: any gift of any kind is welcome and the gift of money (or shop vouchers) is welcome, even just to offset the cost of the wedding.

Am I wrong to feel the gift of money or shop vouchers is welcome or should I go along with his idea of no gifts at all?

Our wedding, together with classic and modern Rock'n'Roll themed, bar-be-que reception will be at home.

We both have son's living with us: mine is 10yrs old and his is 20 and they will both be participating in the wedding, as groomsman and ring bearer.

and we have never lived together- We found a house that's for sale and it's 2000 sq. ft. They were asking $219,000 but it's been on the market for 7 months. Its had renovations in 2002, It's a very nice home. They are not asking $159,000. Is it too soon to buy a house when we wont be married until next Oct.?

I'm hoping to find some people to commiserate with here. I'm going to *have* to include my sister in the wedding party (I'm really hoping she'll back out, but with my luck she won't). I really don't want her and its just going to cause more problems than its worth to exclude her.
Anybody else get stuck including a sibling they're really not close to in their wedding party?
How did you or are you coping with it?
