Stamps
Kayleigh of Planning, 9 of July of 2021 at 23:25

Obviously when you post out your invites you put stamps on them... But what about if you provided a self addressed envelope for RSVPs? Should you provide the stamp? X

Kayleigh of Planning, 7 of July of 2021 at 22:56

I'm a little confused regarding menu choices. It says to choose one from each course of either menu A or menu B. We aren't sure whether this means WE choose each course for our guests, or whether the...

Invitations
Kayleigh of Planning, 1 of June of 2021 at 19:11

Do you give invites to your parents, bridal party, groomsmen? I'm unsure whether this is common practice or if as they are obviously already coming you don't need to? X

Bridesmaid hair
Kayleigh of Planning, 19 of May of 2021 at 16:59

I don't want to pay for a hairdresser for myself or my BMs ideally, so was thinking up styles that would be both quick and pretty. I came across this cage braid and thought I'd give it a go (modelled...

Invitations
Kayleigh of Planning, 11 of May of 2021 at 22:03

When do people send out their invitations? Obviously you need enough time for everyone to RSVP and finalise numbers so what would be an acceptable time to send them out and expect RSVPs? Thanks x
