Instead of traditional rows of seating, consider a different arrangement, like a circle around you. Of course this depends how small the wedding is!

I’m in need of some advice for my bridal shower. I’m trying to condense the list to help my mom & bridesmaids. We are inviting my fiancés coworkers and their significant others to the wedding. I’ve hung out with the couples a few times, but I wouldn’t say they are really friends outside of work events for him. Is it rude to not invite the wives to the shower? One of their husbands is in the wedding so I would invite her, but is it an all or no one situation?

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!
