Our wedding is in August. I'm looking around at invitations. Did you order online or at a local party/wedding store? What are the advantages/disadvantages of ordering invitations online?

I have been engaged for 2 months, just recently we starting talking about money matters etc......things that we want to discuss before we walk down the aisle....
truth is....
He has a property that is foreclosing, over 32k in credit card debt, credit scores not so great, only 5000.00 cash to contribute to the wedding right now.... He is currently renting a home right now.

I own a condo, have no credit card debt , and 25,000 cash to contribute to our wedding. Since our families are huge we are going to have about 450 guests....

He wanted us to budget about 42,000 for the wedding , but i'm the one contributing the most cash right now. I'm starting to feel a little insecure......
its not fair that he has all this debt carrying over into the marriage. am I going to be responsible for paying off his debts after we marry? I know you should combine finances after marriage, but I'm not exactly feeling good about paying off debts he incurred before i ever came into his life...

Ok, when I first got engaged, I bought a ton of those brides magazines. I have quite a big stack of them, but really don't need them. Seems silly & wasteful to just throw them out.

Does anyone know, will thrift stores accept donations of magazines? Any other creative ideas for what I can do with them?

My fiance and I are looking to be married in around 18 months to 2 year. We're leaving it this long as we want time to plan a fantastic wedding that everyone will remember and I would love to hear any ideas from all you fab people out there.
Money is no object (you only do it once why budget?!)
Thanks!

A male friend of mine has confided in me that he is going to ask his girlfriend to marry him, but we know that she doesn't like stones, like diamonds or coloured stones. She has very plain (although not bad) taste and doesn't like anything that brings attention to her, especially her hands, which she thinks are ugly! (They're not). However, he is convinced she would appreciate a ring, as a symbol more than anything else. Do you think he could he get away with something like a pearl or maybe other soft stone? Or no stone at all and just a simple ring?

I need some inspiration.

Please, state facts, such as where did it take place (or where did you go), who did you go with, what did you do, etc...

i cant get my printer to line up right to print on the regular envelopes and the response card envelopes, either. Is it okay to use sticky labels?

My husband and I were married by a judge 8 years ago, with no wittnesses. We were planning a renewal ceremony for our 10th anniversary, but due to the failing health of his grandparents and father, we decided to move it up. We are having a church wedding and recreating what we would have had, if we could have. I am not having bridal shower/bachelor party, but I do want to have my brother walk me down the aisle as my father is no longer with us. I really want this to feel like a wedding but most of the advice I am getting limits me on what I can/cannot do. Would it really be that horrible to have 3 attendants and traditional dances, cake and all. I do not want to offend anyone, but I really want to include those who will probably not be here in another 2 years. We are limiting guests to 100 friends/family. Is it really wrong if it is something we really, really want? I would be gratedful for any advice.

I tend to listen to punk music, whether it's Mxpx, Bad Religion, Rise Against, etc. I also tend to like rock music. My fiance on the other hand tends to like country.

We're looking for a good song to use either as our song, or just as something that I and a few of my guests would like, while still being wedding appropriate. I know it's a weird request, but help me out!

Thanks.

When I got married a few years ago, it was an at-home wedding.

It was in my aunt's house and at Christmas time. I have always admired how she decorated her home.

After the wedding, there were several comments made about how much my wedding cost her and my other aunt.

My husband and I paid for the cake, flowers and rings. The only clothing purchased was my outfit ($35) and my MOH ($50). She choose to purchase an outfit for her daughter to be a bride's maid (without my consent because the 6 year old was jealous).

The second aunt paid for the food. I went shopping with her and kept the cost down ($80).

All the other things (painting her kitchen, wallpaper, stenciling the walls, wall sconces and candles and more floral decorations) was their ideas and she, of course, kept them. There was also more decorations bought for her new 12 ft. Christmas tree.

The total comes to over $1,000. They say that was the cost of my wedding. I say that was the cost of her re-decorating

I already have a larger bridal party than I want, but I want to associate my youngest sister in there some how. She'll be 11 when the event happens. I was thinking maybe a junior bridesmaid, but I have 4 already.

Is there any other responsibility I can give her?

He wants to charge her $300 to perform the wedding and have a couple sessions of premartial counseling....the counseling is mandatory. Doesn't that seem high? I mean he gets a decent salary from the church already because it is a larger sized church. What do you all think? Is this normal?

My fiance has two sisters; one who is mentally slow (sis A) & another who is now a good friend of mine (they are step bro/sis) (sis B). I orginally wasn't going to have either as bridesmaids, but I LOVE sis B and want her as a bridesmaid. His family is not helping us out financially. Since sis A is slow, I have shared with my fiance how much of a responsibility it will be to have her as a bridesmaid to me and everyone else in the party- and that is not fair to anyone. He understands, but I still want sis B as a bridesmaid. Is it horrible if I ask sis B and not sis A? It is not a secret that sis A is slow and won't be able to handle bridesmaid duties. Additionally I was planning on using her as a special attendant, possibly (trying) to do a reading or something. Also, I must state that the FMIL is a b****, has made rude comments to me, and has tried to force this upon my fiance and me. WHAT DO I DO?

The only reasons I can think are:
1.They want to have kids (not everyone does)
2.Tax/money purposes like inheritance and insurance, etc.
Other than those 2 reasons, I don't get why people who love each other ever need to get married. Why can't they just live together and take care of one another and save the $20-200,000 they would otherwise spend on a wedding (plus the ring and Honeymoon).
This question was asked of me by a close female friend who IS married and #1 and #2 were the only things I could imagine.

is the information about where your father was born?
My fiance was supposed to call his dad last night, didn't do it.
He just put down where we're at now, columbus....he's like "it will be alright"
i told him it wouldn't be, it might take longer to get his passport or he may have to pay to have it shipped quicker.

Im hoping im wrong....but i have a bad feeling, what do you guys know?

We are paying for our wedding ourselves. However, fiance's mom has given us $1,000. to help. My mom has paid for my dress & the ceremony site. She will be paying for a limo for the bridal party & is contributing $500. for the honeymoon.

I know you are supposed to list the parents if they sponser the wedding. Although they have contributed some, total cost will be near $10,000 and we are paying the bulk ourselves.

So, since our parents did help, should their names be on the invitations?
