Checklists & Planners

Dear PB Pro, I have two wonderful fathers in my life, and I want both of them to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day. The problem is the aisle at our venue just isn’t wide enough for us all to go down together. How do I make it work with two dads and one narrow aisle? -- Fathers of the Bride

Dear PB Pro, My fiancé and I don’t want a full-on wedding reception. Not only could we not afford it, it’s just not our style. We would, however, like to have some sort of more casual party following the ceremony. How do we let guests know that this won’t be your typical reception with a sit-down dinner, DJ, etc.? –- Keeping it casual

Dear PB Pro, My best friend is an event coordinator. She said she would coordinate my wedding at half her normal rate. My fiancé says I need to get this in writing, but I feel weird asking a friend for a contract. Help? -- Mixing Friends & Business

Dear PB Pro, My fiancee is a sweetheart, but he doesn't know the first thing about fashion. He keeps talking about seeing me in a full ball gown and tiara on our wedding day. There's no way I'm wearing a tiara and full ball gown. Tiaras are so not me, and I'm short and petite — I drown in ball gowns! I found my dream dress recently — much more form-fitting and romantic. But my fiancee keeps bringing up this ball gown vision he has. I feel bad! I don't want to disappoint him, but he just doesn't get that the princess look doesn't work for me. How do I handle this? -- Dress Stress

Dear PB Pro, I know she means well, but my mom keeps injecting her vision into my wedding plans. She's always pictured a big, traditional, white wedding for me — but that's just not me. I want something small, intimate, and a little off-beat. The problem is my mom is paying for everything, so I don't know where to draw the line between her wishes and my own. It's my day... But it's her money! What's a bride to do? -- Mom's Money

Dear PB Pro, Is it okay to include our registry info on our wedding invitation? To me it seems efficient, but some friends and family say it's tacky. Thoughts? -- Not Tacky

Dear PB Pro, I’d like to order traditional invitations for our wedding, but my fiancé says we should go digital. He says e-vites are more environmentally friendly and affordable — two things I find it hard to argue with. But I’m afraid digital invites come off cheap! Help? -- Digital Doubts

Dear PB Pro, I’m feeling swamped with wedding planning and have my first bridal shower next month. I’m excited and so grateful, but a little stressed about adding yet another thing to my “to do” list — like sending thank-you notes. How much time do I have to send cards after the bridal shower vs. after the wedding? -- Thankful Bride

Dear PB Pro, I have been to a lot of weddings lately where people take pictures and then post them on Facebook, Instagram and other social media. The idea of people doing that at my wedding bothers me. I have a professional photographer there to take quality photos. I want to post those pictures and I should be the first to do it. How can I tell my friends and family to keep their pictures of my wedding off the sites? -- Unplug My Wedding
