Submit A Guest Post

If you want to submit a Wedding Graduate Posts or Vintage Wedding Post, please go over here. For everything else, keep reading.

Here is a quick description of the different kinds of posts that you can submit to the blog.

Wedding Undergraduate Post

Get it? Because once you're married your a Wedding Graduate, so before you get married... oh, never-mind. If you're planning your wedding and have something clear and constructive to say, fill us in. That said, we try not to publish posts that are just rants, even though we all need a good rant now and then. But if you have a story to tell about a particular part of the process, or you've learned something important, or you're going through something really difficult, it would be wonderful if you'd consider sharing. Past posts include Coming To Grips With Wanting A Wedding, Planning a Shotgun Wedding, Scary Hilarious Tales From Wedding Dress Shopping, and The Depressed Bride. You can read them all here. When you submit a post, we'd love it if you also send in a picture that you'd be ok with us using.

How-To Post:

Here on APW, we don't think that DIY will save the world or your wedding, but we agree that sometimes it's necessary and sometimes it's fun (and occasionally it's even both). We don't, however, publish super long DIY tutorials because we like big picture overviews of projects even a lazy girl can take on. Past posts have included How To Bake A Wedding Cake, How To DIY Your Flowers, How To Make A Wedding Photobooth, and How To Write A Wedding Ceremony. We're also big fans of tutorials on how to throw laid back weddings, like, How To Plan A Beach Wedding, and How To Plan An At Home Wedding. You can see them all here. We'd love for you to share a How-To post with us, and please remember to include pictures!

Reclaiming Wife (Posts About Married Life):

APW is not just about weddings, it's about marriages, too. When Meg got married, she started a section of the site called Reclaiming Wife to talk about working to create marriages that reflect the lives we want to live. We've tackled everything from career choices and how they impact our marriages, to money, to sex, to the way lesbian partnerships can provide a model for the rest of us, to being married to an addict in recovery. And heck yeah, we've talked about divorce. So if you've learned something about marriage, or have a story you'd like to tell, we'd be delighted if you submitted a post (And yes, we can run it anonymously!). And please consider sending some pictures of you two, as well.

I Have A Question, And I Need Some Help, Pretty Please:

Write Alyssa and the Team Practical...er...team for a little help.  Ask Team Practical runs every Friday, and married, engaged, or neither, you can submit your questions, and we'll do our best to answer them. If you want to be anonymous though, you better give us a kicky sign-off name, like Loving And Leaving And Weeping In Pittsburgh (LALAWIP). We'll do our best to answer your questions, tackle your troubles or just go, "Dude. That sucks."  Aren't you lucky?

Giving Away Your Wedding Dress:

We're not currently taking submissions for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Dress. If you're looking to pass on your dress, we'd suggest you consider Brides Against Breast Cancer.  And virtual hugs and cocktails for being so giving and amazing.

But wait! Before you submit a post, please make sure you've read our disclaimer! Thanks.
