I haven't heard good things about the sky lanterns in actual use. Does your venue have any restrictions? A lot of venues don't allow sparklers for safety/fire damage reasons. (View Post)
That dress code isn't actually real, and you can't tell your guests what to wear anyway. No, your mother shouldn't coordinate with the bridal party unless she decides to on her own volition. (View Post)
