How do you deal with vendors who ignore grooms?
I know you guys have written before about wedding vendors who totally ignore grooms, but I’m looking for some super practical, step-by-step guidance on how to make it clear to my vendors that if they keep ignoring my fiance, they stand to lose our business.

Let’s talk about “getting legalled”
Ok, so we’ve long been fans of the concept of “getting weddinged,” the act of having a wedding after you’re already legally married. But one of our twitter followers @ayahthetiger recently asked us, what do you call it when (thanks to the shifting marriage equality laws), couples do the reverse?

The best thing we could come up with was GETTING LEGALLED.
What if someone brings a gift to my “No gifts please” bridal shower?
A friend is throwing me a bridal shower which will include family members and friends. I’ve very specifically asked for a “no gifts please” announcement in the bridal shower invite, but reliable sources have indicated that at least a few family members might end up bringing a gift anyway.
If that happens, no biggie, but I’m wondering if I need to open those gifts at the shower or is okay to wait until after the shower?
