Q: My fiancé and I plan to have a small wedding ceremony with only our immediate families present. Afterwards, we’re inviting many guests to a country club reception.
Q: Is it appropriate to ask guests to select their main entrée in the wedding invitation?
Q: At our reception, we’ll be offering sandwiches and salads. How should we word the invitations so that our guests know not to expect a formal sit-down dinner?
Q: With the exception of three children from my immediate family, I only want to have adults at my reception.
Ellen DeGeneres decided that since Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries have been married for five weeks (a lifetime in the reality TV world), it was time to renew their vows—with Ellen as their officiant, naturally. And Ellen wrote their hilarious new vows. Check out the video:
And, of course, don't forget that Kim and Kris's two-part wedding special airs on Sunday, October 9 at 8/7c and Monday, October 10 at 9/8c on E! Will you be watching?

The color-blocked flowers stand out even more against a contrasting table runner.
The inexplicably popular planking phenomenon has reached the bridal world and, judging by the influx of wedding planking photos scattering the Internet, the trend is going strong.
In case you've been living under, um, a wooden plank, planking is a game consisting of laying facedown in an ironic or unusual place, such as on a chair or perhaps a train track in Grand Central Station (which we don't recommend!).
Now before you go speed-dialing your wedding photographer for possible planking locations, consider this: 20 years from now, how on earth are you going to explain to your kids why there is a photo of Mommy and Daddy laying facedown in a pile of leaves on their wedding day? (The answer is... you will never be able to explain that. Seriously).
But it's still fun to gawk at these photos. Our favorite is the couple planking on the pews— props on their creativity and excellent balancing skills.

I'm obsessed with this adorable gift idea for your flower girl from The Wedding Chicks: a customized keepsake handkerchief for her to use some day at her own wedding!
Even better: The handkerchiefs are only $12 each. I wish I had seen this before my own wedding! Our flower girls were our two youngest cousins, and it would've been so sweet to give them such meaningful keepsakes.
Tell us: What are you giving your flower girls?
