I need advice on how to begin planning a low-budget wedding?
I’m getting married next may. All I’ve got so far is my dress. Can anyone tell me when is the right time to send “save a date”, put an engagement announcement in the paper, and anything else I need to do right away. I’ve got about 100 people so far on the guest list. Good advice will be appreciated.

How to get from Chicago Airport to Union Station?
Also, what kind of public trasportation should I use? Unfortunately, I’m on a very tight budget, and I’ll have lots of luggage.
The city center and the Sears tower is right next to Union station, right? I’d like to see that.
My only problems are the luggage, and the tight budget. Any advice is appreciated.
I’m coming to o’hare
The problem is, I’m not staying in a hotel, my plane lands in the morning, and I have to be on the train in the afternoon.

First cruise ever at age 46want to depart from Baltimore and go to beaches, must have single occupancy. Advice?
SWF here, treating myself to my first cruise ever, departing Baltimore, MD. Figure it should be rather short term since it’s my first cruise. I’m going alone and insisting on this, so are there any cruises that offer single occupancy? Hoping to go to Bermuda or somewhere like that. Budget is 1k max but obviously prefer cheaper.

Going on a vacation to Hawaii, need advice ?
I am going on a vacation to Hawaii next week and we fly into Honolulu and from there we know nothing !? We have 5 days though. We’re on a budget! But I want to visit the real Hawaii, but still as a beach vacation , and not the tourist touristy spots. I also want to take a surf class or surf school ? We also wanted to rent scooters or a jeep for a day or two? And looking for some really hip places to stay ? Any suggestions !!!!???? I can trade some great suggestions about Seattle, San Francisco or Santa Fe, NM.
