This week were talking about Memory. Were talking about it in direct ways and in indirect ways. How does the past, and our memory of it, affect how we move through the present? So I knew, without a d...
So, were very excited to announce something super new. Something weve never done before. APW has partnered with Turtle Love Co. (sellers of excellent indie and artisan wedding and engagement rings) i...
A few weeks ago, I was asked to write a post for Etsy about Feminism and Weddings. I knew I had a lot to say on the subject, but while I was writing it, I decided to do a quick poll on Facebook and T...
Second weddings are things fraught with so much shame and isolation that I think we cant talk about them enough. And as if it isnt hard enough getting married again, with everyones eyes on you, peopl...
The call from a restricted number came through at 9am. I was brushing my teeth and running late for work, so I ignored it at first. Then the phone rang again. I spat, picked up. “Can I speak with…Med...
*Hannah, Marketing and Publicity Intern & David, Law Student* Ive been waiting for this post for two years. No joke. Two whole years. Hannah has been reading APW since back in the very early days...
Im always thrilled to get to talk about Hello!Lucky, who I consider something of San Francisco small business all stars. Hello!Lucky is a local design studio that specializes both in letterpress wedd...
with Liz I always thought it was standard etiquette that if the invite says "Joe & Guest" that means Joe gets a guest, but if it only says "Joe" then Joe does not get a guest. Any...
You guys, Ive been waiting for this post for months. Literally, since October when we shot it. No joke. Because when we put all the pieces of our tutorials together, I kept jumping around everywhere ...
On Tuesday, I spoke to a group of women at The CoLab Workshop who were in the very, very early stages of working to start a creative business. (The workshop was a collaboration by Emily Takes Photos,...

Body image posts are hard. Theyre hard for people to read and hard for people to discuss, even on APW. This makes me sad. It makes me sad because I feel like Western Women have been fed a poison pill...
So! APW and Glö have been working together for years, to bring all of you excellent RSVP technology, paperless invites, and so much more. The founder of Glö, Taryn, is another female small business o...
The last time Cephas and I were in Malaysia together, my mom took us to see the wedding venue wed booked after extended discussions about the inadvisability of holding the wedding dinner at a house i...
This week were talking about Changes. Specifically, how changes can be profoundly hard, but still not break you. Yesterday Tristan talked about changing his name to his wifes, and Francie discussed t...
*Francie, Grad Student in Public Policy & Matthew, Counselor* Turns out, Ive REALLY been missing wedding graduate posts (and Im sure Im not the only one, so if youve been pondering it for forever...
One of the issues Im most passionate about in weddings and marriage is name changing. Not because I think everyone should do it one way (far from it), but because I think its an extremely complicated...
One of the best parts of my job (damn it! Im always saying that!) is watching young businesses get their start and grow, thanks in large part to the APW community. Because really, its the best (and I...
with Liz One of our biggest dilemmas is what to do about a Wedding Gift List. My fiancé and I have always thought that writing a list of wants and demanding stuff is completely opposed to our shared ...
(Note! Were playing around with an extra Friday feature for the first time today. Its tentatively called BackTalk and will be quick responses from me, and sometimes the staff, to current news article...
Its that time again! As you may have noticed, the APW staff has been working hard lately to bring you content each week that not only embodies the ethos of APW, but that also fits around a relevant t...
I think one of the most deceiving things about centerpieces is that they always seem so... complicated and EXPENSIVE. And it just doesnt have to be that way. In fact, you can decorate an entire table...
Lets review. Over Thanksgiving weekend, after taking nine flights in four months (including some long-haul international ones) my longtime dislike of flying turned into a full on, panic attack fueled...

I hear a lot about married couples living apart these days. I mean, a lot. There are a lot of APW readers and a lot of my friends doing it (please refer to this post on thriving despite hardships). T...
Last week, I got involved in a bit of a controversy with some Etsy vendors who didnt know my work. Id written a post for the (awesome, awesome) Etsy blog team about hacking your wedding (an age old t...
One of my favorite things about APW is getting to witness other people’s vows, albeit remotely. Brandon and I said ours at City Hall, and, for us, that was enough—we are not including a second ceremo...
