Nothing brings up weird feelings like setting up your wedding registry. Is it really ok to ask for gifts? How is this not rude! It’s really not. In fact, it’s one of the nicest thing you can do for your guests. Most of the people invited to your wedding don’t know your taste, your favorite colors or what you might already have. An easy way to let them know is by setting up a wedding gift registry. When you start your registry, you’re not demanding gifts - you’re just creating a wish list.

If you’re going be horrified by a cash bar, stop reading now! Cause I’ll be honest - I’m a fan. When I go to a wedding, it’s to celebrate a marriage and show support for people I love. If they can’t afford to pour free drinks all night, I’m ok with that. The only time it’s a problem is when I don’t know ahead of time. Common etiquette has a lot to say about including cash bar on the invitation. But common sense says that if it’s on the invitation - I’ll know to bring some money

A brunch wedding is a great choice if you’re trying to save money. Even if you go all out, the menu will cost a lot less than a full dinner. Another place you’ll save money is on drinks and alcohol. People will drink a lot less on Sunday morning. You can still have a champagne toast or a signature drink, but no one will miss a full bar at brunch time.
