Post your Instagram hashtag at your wedding reception
Bobbie and Mario knew a ton of their guests would be using Instagram at their wedding, so they posted a little sign letting everyone know the easiest hashtag to use, making it way easier to collect guest photos after the fact. That’s just one of about a million clever things these guys did at their wedding (wait until you see their wedding arch!)… check out Bobbie & Mario’s family-centric ranch wedding.
Couple bridal shower games: cute ideas for co-ed wedding showers!
I want a couples wedding shower, and most of the internet just says very vague things like “well then pick games that include men and register for tools,” and that’s not helpful. Besides a “decorate a mug/glass/picture frame/etc.” for the couple station, I can’t think or find other male-friendly games that also include conservative grandma, boozy uncle, best friends, loud aunt, quiet grandpa, etc.
Did you buy your parents a gift if they didn’t help contribute to the wedding?
For those who financed their weddings themselves (AKA no parental financial help, or help from anyone other than you and your beloved), how did you go about gift-getting for your parents? Did you even give gifts to your parents? If so, was it something sentimental, bought, or otherwise?
I thought I was friendless: how my wedding put social anxieties into perspective
I’ve always thought of myself as pretty unsociable. While my husband is Mr. Sociable. In fact, my initial vision for the wedding was a very small gathering — the two of us, our parents and brothers, a total of 11 people. Obviously this was never going to fit with my other half’s plans and we ended up having about 100 people there. This was the cause of enormous and paralyzing anxiety to me in the run-up to the wedding day.
