We will be going to Barcelona for 6 nights. We already booked a hotel and flight tickets, but I am wondering about how much money is needed per day for two people in Barcelona (Food, tours, drinks etc). We do not want to be too frugal with money since it is our honey moon, but we also are financially conscious and would like to spend less if it is unnecessary. Thank you so much!

I have a very close friendship group of 4 (including me). We go out near enough every weekend together, go on holidays together etc. We were like sisters! We have been a very tight friendship group for the past 8 years. One of my friends within the group is getting married abroad this year which we were all very excited about! However, unlike me, the other two girls was asked to be bridesmaids. At the time when i was told she picked the other two except me, i felt i handled it really well and said i understood. However, this deeply hurt me! I understood it was her decision and it was her wedding day however, i was deeply hurt and deverstated that i knew everything in our friendship group had changed. I felt like the odd one out. I knew that when going out on a weekend it would be awkward as I wasnt involved in the wedding planning etc. I spoke to the bride and the bridesmaids about this but at the time, they said i was bitter and that i shouldnt feel like this. They couldnt see why i was deeply hurt. I wasnt jealous that i wanst a bridesmaid, i was hurt because i felt different and i saw myself as different. I couldnt understand how they could do that to me, knowing the 4 of us did things together all the time. For the past year ive had doubts on whether to go to the wedding or not as me and the bride have drifted apart. I just want things back to the way they was before. But now i just feel lonely and the odd one out.

my dad moved to another state with his girlfriend. I visited & everything seemed great. but after I left, he proposed & I found out I m not in the wedding.. I m 16 & everyone in my family is confused on why I m not in it.. should I go?

I m going to be having two bridesmaids (sister in law and best friend) and a junior bridesmaid (my sister) I can t decide between my two bridesmaids which should be a maid of honor and either way I know the other would feel uncomfortable and upset. My sister in law functionality y wise would be a better bridesmaid but my best friend is well my best friend. Can I just have two bridesmaids that both help out, with no one being a maid of honor?

I need to get these things done. My fiancé and I are hosting -- no parental names. Here s how this thing is gonna go: me and my fiancé, an officiant, and our 14 best friends (the wedding party) are going to stand by a river at the Millstone (a small wedding venue) in Limeatone TN. There will be approximately 35 people in the audience. WE ARE ONLY INVITING PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP AND HAVE HAD/WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON IT. GOOD FRIENDS AND IMMEDIATE FAMILY ONLY. Vows will be exchanged. A photographer will take some pictures. There will be a cake. Everyone will eat our nice expensive cake and drink some lemonade. Then everyone is going to leave so my fiancé and I can spend the night at the Millstone. That s it. No dancing. I don t like dancing. No food. We can t afford a caterer. I don t want to say that there will be a reception to follow because that is technically a lie. It will just be dessert afterwards. We re doing this after dinner time so we don t have to feed everybody. What should my invitations say? Help.

I was invited to a bridal shower but I am unable to attend it. I would like to give a gift from their registry but I have a few questions: 1- How much should I spend? 2- Since I won't be attending how should I get the gift to them? (I'm actually close friends with the groom. So do I drop it off to his house? Mail it to his address but address it to both of them? Any other bits of advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

There seems to a trend of bridal shows on TV about weddings and brides, etc. I was wondering just out of curiosity how much do you think is acceptable to spend on the dress? Who is responsible for paying for it? My friend recently got married and spent thousands a dress she wore for only 3 hours!

My fiance was out of town on a business trip during Easter. My future mother-in-law invited me to church with her and her family and afterwards to dinner. I said no, that I would be spending it with my family. FMIL (future mother-in-law) is upset with this and calls my fiance to say I turned down the invitation. First of all, she was wrong to do this. I have never spent Easter with her before or any other major holiday. I have stopped by briefly on Thanksgiving and Xmas for dessert with my fiance and that is it. I also do not spend time alone with my FMIL or my fiance's family-I only spend time with the future in-laws with my fiance. Why would I spend time solo with them? I wouldn't expect my fiance to spend time with my family without me. Also, my family lives 15 minutes from us, his family is an hour away. I am not comfortable spending solo time with my fiance's family-my relationship with them is through my fiance. Plus I am extremely close to my own family and have fun with them. Why would I spend time with my future in-laws when I could be with my own flesh and blood? Why is this such a big deal to FMIL?

I just received an invitation to a friend's bridal shower, but I was not invited to her bachelorette party a few weeks ago. Some things about that sits funny with me...like, I'm not invited to the party weekend, just to the gift-giving weekend. Is it me, or is something about this weird? And yes, we're invited to the wedding as well. Invitation included an announcement that the officiant is a stand up comedian.

My good friend is getting married in September and has decided to hold a week long bachelor party in a foreign country along with a destination wedding in outside of where we live. The bachelor party alone would cost over 1000 and the hotel for the wedding is 400 a night. Overall I'd be paying a few thousand for this. I tried to reach a compromise and just attend the bachelor party trip for a couple days except it is so far that I'd be paying to a ton to basically go on a one day trip. Additionally this would mean I have to take unpaid leave at work and no go this year on a trip with my fiancé. My friend has been less than helpful and came off angry when I told him that I'd have to think about it due to the reasons I listed above. I'm still down to go to the wedding for a night,but its made me reconsider how good of a guy he is. I'm in the wedding party but the whole situation has made me not want to go anymore. Am I being too dramatic or I am right that he is rude and selfish for acting upset that I can't afford all of this?

I know some people might think I'm being uptight and ruining his fun, but I seriously do not want him having strippers at his bachelor party. I am extremely uncomfortable even at the thought of this. I have been with him since we were 16 and we are now 22 and have a daughter together. He has never been to a strip club or anything similar and the thought of this makes me feel sick. I find it disgusting and I do not believe he should be looking at any other girls, especially right before we marry. realise this makes me sound controlling and insecure which I am not going to deny, but the point is, his brother is planning the bachelor party and how do I tell him there are to be strictly no strippers without coming across as a *****?

I am renting a place for my friend's Bridal Shower. This is my first event that I am coordinating and I made the mistake of not giving the team enough time to set up. The event starts at 5(including setup). Should I contact all 52 guests and have them come in at 5:30 instead or should I get there early at 4(when other party ends) so that I can see if the guy would allow me to enter early around 4:30 once other party is officially cleaned up so that I can set up.) I spoke to a employee last week at the municipal that said the guy who will be there that day could possibly let me in earlier which did sound promising at the time. However, with the event nearing I'm worried that I could be denied entering earlier by this person or that the other party is done earlIer and I miss the opportunity to ask him. What's the best way to handle this situation?

Please help! So a bride-to-be has invited me to her bridal shower. She is a good friend however I have not known her very long. I've never been to one and I know I should buy a gift but I don't know what...the theme is Naughty and Nice. I'm not sure what is "appropriate" and what is not. Advice??? Thank you!
