Wine at the tables

mrussell1983 — Wed, 12 May 2010 13:42:04 +0000

Ok, I have had an interest in this for quite some time, but am now beginning to actually consider it for our wedding. I would love to hear any tips about doing wine bottles at the tables from anyone who has or has seen this done. I have never been to a wedding where it has been done. We are not planning to do a traditional champagne toast. At all of the weddings we have been to at least 75% of the champagne was left untouched. I know we have a lot of friends and family that enjoy wine so we are thinking that will be more appreciated by our crowd.

Band Suggestions

Dorabell07 — Tue, 11 May 2010 12:26:42 +0000

We are getting married at a barn in Wolfeboro and are looking for suggestions on a band. We do not have the space for a large band so we are looking for a group of approx 4 members. I would prefer to have a group that is local to NH (ie--I don't want to pay a band to come up from Boston) and perhaps plays in the local music scene in Portsmouth or Dover.

I don't live in NH anymore so I'm pretty removed from the NH music scene so any suggestions you have of fun groups that would appeal to all ages would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Sonya32575 — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 15:47:17 +0000

Does anyone know of a great (high-end, good service) restaurant in the Lake Winni area? I know there's all the Common Man locations, but trying to stay away from them since my reception is at Church Landing and the food will be very similar. Would love a really good Italian or Seafood place. any input would be MUCH appreciated!

Yet another Photography Question...

jrich7686 — Wed, 05 May 2010 17:13:08 +0000

Hi ladies!
Looking for you opinion-- I found a wedding photographer (shawntphoto.com) whose work I think is great-- but she works out of 2 places, NH & North Carolina and until late June she will be in North Carolina. My FI & I want to book our photographer in the next couple of weeks before leave for Vegas (woop!) so we can at least have that done. In your opinion, is it really important to meet hte photographer in person before booking? I'm obviously setting up time to speak with her over the phone. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
My Mum is trying to find a dress for my sister's wedding this August. She has found one dress by Mon Cheri which she really likes but it will be 16 weeks before it arrives so that would be way to late. Does anyone know where she could perhaps buy it in store. It has to be a petite. Or does anyone know where she can find somewhere in NH that sells Petite Mother Of The Bride dresses?? Please someone help me. My mum is becoming rather depressed about the whole thing. Thanks for reading!!!

Sarah

...And away they go!

chica7484 — Sat, 08 May 2010 13:48:53 +0000

Heading to the post office with FI in a few to mail the invites!!!!

I hope they don't get wet on the way over with all this stinkin' rain. We had an obnoxiously huge clap of thunder at 6 a.m this morning...I thought something blew up!

Help with my mom!

litskispecialty — Sat, 08 May 2010 15:30:59 +0000

So my mom has been a bit of a pain since I got engaged last July and I need help in how to deal with her.

My parents are not paying for the wedding and that's fine. From the beginning I made it clear to my mom that since she is not paying, I perfer to make most of the decisions on my own and am trying to cut every corner possible to save money. I purposely did not tell her where we were looking to have the ceremony and reception until after we signed a contract so that she could not but in. (I know this might be mean, but if she has an idea of what's right she will fight you until you do it.)

Since then she has gone and found vendors for almost everything I've done (flowers, invitations etc) even though I told her that I was working on it. Instead of allowing me to shop around and find the best deal price wise as well as who I'm comfortable with she harasses me to work with one vendor until I pick them regardless of price she can't help out with. She goes to the meetings says "oh I won't say anything I'm just here for moral support" then complains that she doesn't like the idea, even BM dresses because my girls couldn't find a time to go with me.

I've tried explaining to her calmly and eventually in fights about how FI and I would like to spend less and use the money instead to buy a house but she just ingores me telling me I have plenty of time to buy a house.

Well now she has started to buy little things for me behind my back like a cake topper, a veil (from Michael's crafts, anyone know if these are good? I haven't seen it yet) etc. I won't see her until next weekend so I don't even know what it looks like. She tells me it's fine if I don't like it she can return it but it's "what I'll like" basically meaning, if I don't use it I'll never hear the end of it.

She even went so far as to say that if FI and I make a charitable donation to the Susan G. Komen foundation in lieu of favors we can't put out the cards on the tables at the reception because people will come up to her and ask her if she is suffering from breast cancer. She suggests we wait until after the reception and put the in lieu of favors cards in the thank you cards. I'm sorry that's not what you do.

She has a problem with me not changing my name when I get married, she's upset that I'm saving money and doing fake flowers for a throw boquet instead of spending $30 for the few single women coming to my wedding. She's even found my coordinator at the reception and planned "a few suprises for the favors".

I don't want to bother my vendors and coordinator and say well now that you met with me and my mom for however long, this is actually what we're going to do, but that's basically the only way I've been able to win with her.

So what do I do? I love that we're talking more in general, I love that she does care but I wish she could respect my wishes and my money! What if I don't like the things she bought at Michael's how can I get what I want? Sorry for the rant I'm just at the end of my rope at this point!

guitarist george?

jkepros — Wed, 05 May 2010 16:30:53 +0000

I'm getting married in June in Boston--so I normally post on the Boston board--but I'm having trouble finding a classical or acoustic guitarist to play at my ceremony and one of the girls said that there is a guitarist named George who gets raves on the NH board. Any info you can pass along would be awesome!! Thanks, girls!!

I was just looking at your bio and wanted to tell you, and Im sure you are aware that your last names are in your bio.

Just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to take them out. Though I've never heard of it happening on this board, there are crazy people out there that will sabotage your wedding.

WTF Friday!
