We now have over 400 articles in the wiki, and it continues to grow daily! Thanks so much to everyone who has contributed!

Today’s wiki of the day is wedding planner. Hiring our wedding planner, In Any Event, was definitely one of the best decisions we made in the planning process. You can check out the wiki article we created on them here:

We’ve done venues, photographers, makeup artists, and hair stylists as our wikis of the day. Today we’re going to focus on florists!

We’ll be giving away weddingbee t-shirts to a couple of random wiki contributors from this past…

Out of town bags are a wonderfully thoughtful way to welcome your out of town wedding guests!  We included snacks, drinks, a subway map, list of things to do/sights to see, and a note in our bags.  But even with more than half of our guests coming in from out of town, only one person ended up staying at the hotel where we blocked rooms (most had friends or family…

Wedding gifts are always a hot topic here on weddingbee - how much you should spend, giving cash gifts, whether you can buy off registry, etc.

I have a couple of general rules I follow when it comes to wedding gifts.  First, how much I spend depends on how close I am to the couple.  And though I typically buy something on the couple’s registry or…

Though candy buffets are very popular, I’ve never heard of a wedding where it wasn’t a big hit!

So today’s wiki of the day is candy buffet!

We’ve already created wiki articles on everything from boudoir pictures to favors to reception music. Now we’re super excited to announce vendor wikis!

Today we’re going to be focusing on venues. You can check out a couple of venue wikis we created here:

• http://vendors.weddingbee.com/Westside_Loft (where I got married and had my reception)

We’ve even created vendor templates, so it’s super easy…

Bridal show listings were our wiki of the day on Friday, so today’s wikis of the day are sample sale listings and trunk show listings!

• http://wiki.weddingbee.com/Sample_sale_listings
• http://wiki.weddingbee.com/Trunk_show_listings

If you know of any upcoming sample sales or trunk shows in your area, please add them to the wiki!  We’ll work together to update these listings regularly, and make it the most comprehensive and up to date resource for brides-to-bee! 

Back when Weddingbee first launched and we were based only in New York, we posted all the local sample sales, trunk shows, and bridal shows.  Once we went national a couple months later, we stopped posting them altogether.  But with our new wiki, we’re going to bring local show and sale listings back! 

We’ve started a Bridal Show Listings article here:

Today’s Wiki of the Day is an old saying:

• Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue

According to this old saying, if you carry one of each of these four items… you’ll have a happy marriage :-).

We’ve seeded the wiki article with examples of old, new, borrowed, and blue items. What items of each are you going to use for your wedding?

Please help us fill in…

The wiki has been growing at a prodigious rate… we’re up to 200 articles total! A special thanks to Mrs. Radish, Mrs. Lemon, limesnall, and Miss Penguin for your many contributions. I know some more of you have been contributing, but alas I can’t tell who you are from just your IP…

In any case, wow - 200 articles. Here are some of the best ones…

We haven’t done one of these in a couple of days, so today’s wiki of the day is save the date!

• http://wiki.weddingbee.com/Save_the_Date

When we first started planning our wedding (almost four years ago!), I’d never even heard of a save the date before.  Being a total newbie to the wedding planning world, I thought they were the coolest, smartest thing ever.

Half our guests were travelling from out of…

Today’s wiki of the day is one of the hottest topic on bridal blogs and messageboards everywhere - bridesmaid gifts!

• http://wiki.weddingbee.com/Bridesmaid_gift

When it came to deciding what to give my maids, I tried to give them something they really wanted. I gave two of them ipod shuffles (this was 3 years ago so they had just come out) and an itunes gift card. The third bridesmaid received tons of…
