Your Wedding Wednesday Question
What's the best way to tell someone that they aren't invited to my wedding?
Answer:
This is always a tough conversation, especially if you are talking to a relative. More than likely, your guest list has to accommodate your budget or the size of your venue. If you explain this to your friends or family, they will understand and appreciate your honesty. Tell them you would like to meet up with them after your honeymoon to catch up and show them your trip pictures, so that you can share your happiness with them in a special way.

Your Wedding Wednesday Question
As a guest, how much should I plan to spend on a wedding gift?
Answer:
The newlyweds will appreciate anything you give them, of course! A good set of guidelines is to plan to spend about $50 or more on a wedding gift because this is a gift for two and a bigger event than a birthday. You can also split a big gift with a few friends or relatives that can keep your smaller budget but still able to give the couple something great!

Your Wedding Wednesday Question
My fiancee and I don't drink, but do we still need to offer alcohol at our reception?
Answer:
Having alcohol at your reception is completely up to you. It can be pricey and there are so many ways you can provide alcohol (cash bar, open bar, etc.). The deciding factor may ultimately be your budget, but if you and your future spouse aren't big fans of alcohol, you can opt for other drink options. Perhaps you only have enough champagne for the initial toast or, if champagne isn't your thing, you can toast with sparkling cider. It isn't necessary to have alcohol at your reception and the decision is ultimately yours!

Your Wedding Wednesday Question
What is the proper way to decline an invitation to a wedding?
Answer:
The best way to decline a wedding invitation is to do it as soon as possible and, if you can, in person or by phone. Make sure to thank them for the invite and explain the circumstance while still keeping it short and sweet. If you aren't very close, the RSVP should suffice. Do keep in mind that it is customary to send a gift, even if you aren't able to attend the wedding.

Your Wedding Wednesday Question
What would be the best way for my guests to RSVP for my wedding? Via snail mail or online?
Answer:
You can do either or both! In this day in age, there are many options for RSVP, but your guests' preference may be the deciding factor. Our suggestion is to offer multiple ways that your guests can RSVP. Some may prefer to do it online or through a text, while others may want the original snail mail version. Give them lots of options, so you don't have to explain to Great Aunt Marge how to turn on "the world wide web."

Your Wedding Wednesday Question
If I’m having a seated dinner at the wedding reception is it necessary to have a choice of entrée?
Answer:
No, that is not a must. A suggestion is to have an option for guests that are vegetarians or have dietary restrictions. If you decide to do this, don't forget to let your caterer know that you want these options.

Your Wedding Wednesday Question
Do I invite every guest’s plus one to the rehearsal dinner?
Answer:
The rehearsal dinner is usually a gathering of your close friends and family, so you don't have to invite anyone's plus one. You can invite your guest's date if you would like, but don’t feel forced to do so.

Your Wedding Wednesday Question
Who else receives a boutonniere, other than the groomsmen and the groom?
Answer:
You can give corsages and boutonnieres to close family who aren’t bridesmaids and groomsmen. Such as parents of the bride and groom, and maybe grandparents. It can also be a nice gesture to give a corsage or boutonniere to someone helping out at the wedding as a way of saying thank you.
