In today’s hive:
- lk has gifts from her wedding without cards attached (or they fell off). What’s the proper etiquette for dealing with these anonymous gifts? She doesn’t want to forget thanking anyone.
- Amy’s name is Isabelle Amy Stevens, hypothetically. She only goes by Amy and her fiance’s last name is Smythe, so her monogram will be ASS. Can she use IAS for her work (which uses initials for everything)/personal monogram, but Amy Stevens Smythe for everything else? What are her options for keeping her maiden name but not an “ASS” monogram?
- Joyful wants to know if it’s ok to have a wedding ceremony without a reception for all the guests because she’s having a big church wedding. She wants them there, but wants a more intimate party afterwards. Is that ok or should she have a general reception as well?
- ocicats is looking for a private dance instructor in the central NJ area. Any recommendations?
- S&Y booked a DJ for her reception but is confused what to do for her ceremony music. Do most people book ceremony and reception musicians separate when the wedding is in the same venue, and not a church?
- Starrgurrl wants to know if anyone knows where to buy dyeables in NYC, because she’d rather try them on in person than purchase them online. She’s looking for a size 5 or 51/2 shoe and is having a hard time.
