Your Biggest Wedding Questions Answered
All brides have common questions: Should my maid of honor gift be more expensive than my bridesmaid gifts? Should I send invites out for the rehearsal dinner? How do I get a head count when half of my response cards are missing?
From bridesmaid gifts to invitations, WeddingStand answers your biggest wedding questions
Q: Many of my guests haven't sent their reply cards back on time. My wedding is weeks away! How do I ensure an accurate head count?
A: Your guests probably overlooked the reply-by date - a common mistake! Don't worry, most caterers don't need a head count until one week before the wedding. But if you're ready to finish that seating plan, it's perfectly acceptable to call guests and ask if they're coming. Busy brides can have the person closest to the guest in question call.
Q: My Maid of Honor did an exceptional job planning the wedding. I'd like to honor her with a Maid of Honor gift that is slightly more expensive than the bridesmaid gifts. After all, she did much more work! Is this appropriate?
A: It's perfectly acceptable to give your Maid Of Honor a gift that's slightly more expensive than your bridesmaid gifts. However, your bridesmaid gifts should be equal. Never use your bridesmaid gifts to single someone out or qualify your bridesmaids' hard work.
Q: Do we send formal invites out for the rehearsal dinner? Or do we just call everyone and let them know via word of mouth.
A: Unless your rehearsal dinner is a large, formal event, skip the invitations. You may want to send guests a written invitation, so they know where to go, but word-of-mouth works fine. If you are having a large, formal dinner, don't blow your budget on custom-made invitations for the rehearsal dinner - create your own using our wedding invitation kits.
