Ok so we've just had a response back - from an elderly relative, simply "I am unable to attend" written on the rsvp, no explanation, no excuse. There is no reason at all that I can think of why she cannot attend, and whatever is in her mind as a...

Just a question, since there's a few usher related questions about at the moment. Why do traditionally the bride's family sit one side and the groom's family the other? Why do we still do it? What does it matter? Where do you put mutual friends? All...

Recently we've been thinking about music for our ceremony, blessing etc. We think we're almost at our shortlist we want. Just listening to a random internet radio station at work and one of "our songs" has come on. Couldn't concentrate on work so I'm...

Like many, we'll be producing "Order of the day" booklets to give out to all our guests on arrival, which includes the bits for the ceremony, music, readings, thanks to various people, links to our suppliers etc, floor plan of the hotel with...

It's at 1:38 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBFQcIngOGc I know it's a bit of classical music but I have no idea what it's called; yes it featured in a 1980's arcade game called Pengo and this is an electronic version but I just can't...

Just wondered if anyone has any pictures - or opinions - on two colours of organza in front of the top table? These would be the full length of the table rather than half and half, if that makes sense? Still working on room decor ideas, and thought...

My parents divorced some years ago, and my dad remarried about 10-12 years ago. My mum is in a new relationship too, he has 2 kids from a previous marriage and although I get on well with my stepmum, and "stepdad to be" and his 2 teenage kids, we...

Didn't realise there were 8 of us getting done on the same day. Fill me in on your plans, where you are in your planning etc just out of curiousity really. Our plans? 1.30pm service in a hotel in the New Forest. Most things sorted, biggest things...

Just having a chat with my b2b about wedding music etc and although we're still struggling to come up with a list of things we do want, there's a few things we don't think are really that appropriate which we thought might be a fun little discussion...

Is it simply a 'pay bar'? I've checked with the hotel and they do accept cards - people can start their own tab - as well as cash. Just working on a thankyou letter for those that have responded to say they're coming, and can't quite get the...

Don't you just hate those moments? Invites? Simple administrative task. No problem. Ceremony? Fairly straightforward. No problem. Blessing service? Fairly straightforward. No problem. Wedding breakfast? Plenty of planners to help you figure out who...

Need some assistance from the collective masses, if we may. Thinking about buttonholes. We've got 9 altogether. Mine and the best man will both be double roses, the other 7 will be single roses - 3 dads (2 plus stepdad), 2 ushers and two boys part of...

Sorry, pointless post. Just that it is As you were, ladies and gentlemen.

As title really. Bullet points don't work properly although they do in preview. 1 2 3 4 a b c d

Ok so we've finally got the bits together to start looking at table centrepieces. To remind you, our colourscheme is hunter green and ivory, with autumnal accents. Our table centres will have a square of hunter green on it. We're thinking of fibre...

Just thinking ahead for options for our 'order of service' for the ceremony and rest of the day, and I was wondering whether you welcome people to the wedding of A & B or the marriage of A & B on the cover? Is there a difference between...
