I have a lot of stupid questions that I never feel justify their own post, so I thought if I made one thread then people could just add their Q&A's to it! haha
Ok, Stupid Question #1: Does every ceremony use the unity candle? I wanted to started some of the DIY stuff like that but not if it's something not everyone does. (We're getting married in a church.)
Stupid Question #2:I can't seem to get a straight answer on this - are sparklers legal in NY? I would LOVE to use them at my RH but don't want to bother asking them if they're not legal.
Hmm that's all I can think of for now, I guarantee I'll have more!

here is another stupid question.......
Do FH and I count towards the guest count?
how about vendors do we pay for them to eat and do they or is it all about the job? i don't think i ever noticed vendors at weddings i've been to in the past eating but i wasn't really paying attention
Most places we went to tell you that vendors eat at half the price of everyone else... and some places if you're using one of their vendors they eat for free.

They eat.. depending on your RH and which vendors you use, they can be anywhere from 30-50% off.. some places even do free vendors if you use their vendors

stupid questions #5: receiving lines: do it? don't do it? accept that you can't avoid doing it bc people corner you anyway? how long do you allow yourself to kiss & hug everyone you know?
I think you only do recieving lines if you are getting married in church but I could be wrong

stupid question #6: i hear all this talk about after parties. i gotta say, i've never been to a formal after party, just the typical let's-go-to-the-bar-after-the-wedding business. my reception will likely end at 12:30 or 1. do we arrange for an 'after party' or do we just informally ask our favorite people to join us at a bar?
We arent having a formal after party ... just an after party at like a bar/lounge of the hotel we are staying in that night and blocked rooms ... people do not have to come if they do not want to ... and its cash bar, we arent paying for the drinks ... HTH!

as my FMIL would say, 'no question is a stupid question'
so #1 i don't think you HAVE to do the unity candle, i don't think its a 100% must
#2 as far as i know they are legal in NY. there was another post not too long ago and i think they determined that it IS legal.
HTH!
OMG THEYRE ILLEGAL!??!!?! GRRRR that makes me so mad esp since fh is a big fire works fan!

I believe you can look on this site there are some people who have hired calligraphers (sp?) and some who have just printed them themselves!

Re: Official Stupid Question Thread
this is a great thread!
We arent doing a recieving line and will be at our CH to (hopefully) greet all the guests there. I dont think i saw this idea posted yet here.
I also had the stupid question about who sets up all my stuff. I have fans and programs and shells and all this little detail stuff. who will set that out? the RH or do i need to have someone over there earlier in the day to set it all up?
thanks girls.

Re: Official Stupid Question Thread
I am not sure if RH's are different but when I was the bridal attendant at Raphael - the person who set up all your cake flowers, votives, flutes, cake cutters, guestbook, and whatever else you decided to bring with you? Yea that was me haha.

Re: Official Stupid Question Thread
I thought of another one.
I was thinking of doing BM dresses as separates (like a two piece top and bottom). I know they're more expensive than a regular dress - but does it save money on alterations since you could get two different sizes?
I'm sure the answer is probably no since it seems nothing wedding related is cheap.

OMG! I'm so glad u asked this because I was wondering the same thing!
