Whether it's co-ed flag football or a half-marathon, having a date inked on the calendar will guilt you into submission. Read more

I had a horrible disaster with my wedding invitations. Read more

My fiance and I were living overseas, and so after (painstakingly) designing, editing and addressing our invites, we couriered them to our respective mothers to mail in-country. Our invites were for a small local cocktail celebration in our hometowns after we were legally married overseas. About a year after the fact,… Read more

I almost couldn't read this article. I still have so much anger over my wedding invites. Read more

So I wanted to design my own invitations. And we were being frugal so I went to some website and designed and ordered my own cards myself. I was really into having this be MY thing. Iwas going to get them just like I wanted and I really played with formats and got creative. My partner gave me full reign and I didn't… Read more

I received an invite to a family member's wedding- invite, reception details, reply card and a small, stamped, SEALED envelope. I thought maybe the envelope accidentally got sealed going through the mail, but turns out, the groom licked and stamped all the reply envelopes inside the invites. Read more

We sent out our invites using paperless post, and while I was still fiddling with the design of our save the dates, I saved it to come back to it later. Feeling lazy, I couldn't be bothered to type out "save the date" and just put "STD" as the file name instead. When we then sent out the emails, paperless post used… Read more

When we got married 21 years ago, there were not a lot of home computers or printers. My fiance (now husband) was finishing art school, and insisted he could make the invitations and print them at his fancy school. He had to have handmade, acid-free paper ordered from Seattle (we were in L.A.) which he then… Read more

My fantastic friends helped me make approximately 80 burlap-wrapped invitations. They all came out wonderful and no one fought. Read more

The invitations to my November 2001 wedding were mailed on September 10, 2001. The wedding venue? Windows on the World. Read more

This didn't happen to me exactly, but it's still pretty awesome. So my aunt was getting married (c.1982), a few years before I existed, and her wedding color was a light mauve. She picked out nice mauve invitations with dark text which were surprisingly elegant considering it was the early 80s. She gave them to her… Read more

This was relatively minor, but made me feel like a bridezilla. Read more

When our wedding invitations arrived, I carefully proofread — which I had actually done when I ordered them, FYI — to make sure everything was kosher. I'm an editor and my husband is a writer, so this isn't something we fuck around with.

My fiance's middle name was misspelled. Instead of "Lawrence," it was… Read more

Also, I'd just like to say that I am so very happy that I lived long enough to see the day where I can, if I so desire, just pop down to the legal weed dispensary for some weed, and the internet cleaning lady will teach me how to roll it into a clean, tidy, filtered joint. When I was 15 (or even when I was 30. Or… Read more

Men are terrible. I'm glad I'm a guy, because if I was a woman I'd never ever date. Ever. It blows my mind that any woman would want anything to do with us. Read more

My grandmother wore a wedding dress to her own (and only) daughter's wedding. How did that not make the cut? Read more

Who screwed up my wedding? Writer/Director David Mamet (young folks may know him as Zosia Mamet's father). He was filming a movie in my hometown the day of our wedding. Read more
