Some helpful tips on using this board:
1) Read through the first few pages to get a feel for the board and how things work here. You are encouraged to post and ask questions, but do check to see if your question has been asked recently.
2) The Knot is a great place to share ideas, etc. but it is not a place to conduct business or to promote your business. Please review the rules. This means no offering of free services, copyrighted materials (fonts/graphics), etc. Vendor posts will be deleted and vendors will be banned.
3) The ladies and gents on the board love to help, but also do some research beforehand. Google is a great place to start!
4) When you are ready to start posting, please do an Intro post and tell us a little bit about yourself! Your intro post could include your first name, wedding date, engagement story, and any details you’d like to share.
5) Be careful about posting personal information! This is a public message board that anyone can read. For your protection, don’t post your full name, email address or phone number.
6) Please keep in mind that this is a public forum, and everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. You can get great feedback here! Not everyone will agree with you, but any advice offered is generally well-intentioned, so don’t take it personally if someone disagrees with you.
