Should we have signs at our ceremony to leave the front row vacant for immediate family?

I was thinking maybe this is tacky, but then maybe it's necessary. (Or am I really just overthinking it?) Someone suggested that this is the role of the celebrant - to ensure that it's family in the first row. Is that generally true?

Engagement party cake vs wedding cake

What would be the main difference between an engagement party cake and the wedding cake? Are there any traditions around this I should know about, like they should both look similar (in a theme) or the engagement cake should be smaller than the wedding cake? Thank you!

How will I know when I've found "the dress"?

I'm not really a girly girl so it's hard for me to imagine finding THE wedding dress that everyone seems to talk about. Does this happen for everyone? And how will I know? I'm scared I'll choose something out of necessity and not because I honestly love it. I don't wear dresses much.

Is a wedding album worth it?

Not sure about this. Thinking we might just do our own wedding album online but then again, we're not very creative. And do all photographers do albums or would we be finding our own company for it?

Is it risky to get a facial before the wedding?

I don't have an extensive beauty regime - I just use supermarket cleansers and moisturisers. But now that the wedding is coming up, I'm thinking it might be nice to have a facial. But is that a good or bad idea?

My engagement ring is causing my skin to peel

I'm having some kind of reaction to my beautiful engagement ring. I adore the ring - but my skin has started peeling underneath :( I'm taking it off at night but it's not getting any better. I don't want to have to give up my ring! Is there anything I can do?
