Hello hive! We’d love for you to join us all on the Weddingbee boards tomorrow as we get together for wedding advice, inspiration, and a great day of getting to know the hive members better.
This is a great opportunity to get to know the hostesses and bees better, find answers to the questions you’ve been dying to ask, and a chance for you to dole out some great advice to other hive members seeking advice and opinions as well! So head on over to the boards tomorrow at noon PST for post-a-thon madness!
See you there!
Do you find yourself always helping out your fellow bees? Would you like to help keep Weddingbee the warm and welcoming place that it is? Consider applying to join our team of fabulous hive hostesses!
Hostesses welcome new members to the hive, become a resource and source of support for other brides, and generally enjoy hanging out with our wonderful community on the Weddingbee Boards!
Our hostesses also help inject humor and lightheartedness into the Boards. Check out some of the fun threads they’ve started recently, like pengoala’s “Friday Fun: Find Me a…” thread, and MmeSilverBullet’s “Pinterest Success Stories” thread. They also take turns hosting post-a-thons once a month, where hive members from all over get together to chat.
You can get to know a little bit more about our current hostess team right here!
We are currently accepting applications for our newest generation of hostesses. Check out the guidelines here, and if you think you’re cut out to join the team, email us at hostess at weddingbee dot com!

Some of the most memorable wedding moments happen on the dance floor. That’s why it’s beyond important to book an amazing DJ that you’ll be confident can keep the party going all through the night!
