Weddingbee boards
Taking the bait and venturing over to WC to see what it's all about...wish me luck!
Try out "general wedding topics > etiquette."
Good gravy I am so disillusioned. Not that those two posters didn't have some good points, but man are people harsh on other boards. I don't get it! Say it nice or don't say it!
Haha, I did the same thing EAQ (It's weird not calling you by your real name!). I looked at the DIY board - Some people are so rude!
Lol, I love the know-it-all older bride (lorie). Gah, now I feel bad talking about people...
I feel so weird when people don't know my name either! So many people just call me CP or Cinema.
To the world (aka hive): I'm Sarah! haha
Haha, mine is pretty obvious. I always call Em by her name on her/my blog, so I didn't even remember that wasn't her Weddingbee name!
I haven't been to that site, but try lurking on the Knot for a while.... yeesh, is all I have to say!
i used to go on the craigslist wedding forum. some people there were helpful, but others were mean and there were so many trolls. and then i found weddingbee... the rest is history!
Once I found WB I never looked back. This has been really the only blog I belong to for wedding stuff, everyone's so great and my wedding really came through from the gals on this site 
I actually don't ever visit any other boards! But, now I'm curious and I'm going to go peek at the board you're talking about haha
Occasionally I jump around on the knot boards, but jeeze...those brides have venom! I'm pretty sure that's where WE recruits girls for Bridezilla!
I love that everyone here is so nice to one another and supportive. And if things get out of hand at any point, a moderator steps in and puts people back in check.
I went to the knot boards once for like thirty seconds before I ran away terrified.
Talk about bridezillas
Actually, I belong to the knot and the girls on my local month board are actually really nice. I just think Knot is SO big there are bound to be meanies. WB is a much smaller community in comparison to The Knot.
WB is great for general wedding, DIY, support help but if you want to get more local insight I think Knot is great for that.
I aws on theknot ones a loong time ago....like 6 months ago probably, but once I found here I never went back!
The girls are CRAZY on the knot and the nest. They all gang up and are out to be bridezilla's! I <3 the Bee.
Weddingbee is the one and only board I hang out on. I've heard too many horror stories about The Others!
I like my local Knot board--there are very few Nebraskans on WB, so it's nice to be able to pop over and talk to other people who are in the same area and digging out of the same snow storm to do wedding stuff. ^_^
But for the most part, I like that this forum is smaller and closely moderated, which makes people think twice before typing the sarcastic things that come to mind. ^_^ I mean, let's be honest--we all think mean things occasionally and there will be at least one thread that makes you roll your eyes, but here there's more incentive to play nice so that you can remain a part of a great community. When there's no consequences, there's no reason to be keep snark to yourself. *shrug*
@spinningjenny
Hahaha! Totally agree. I mean come on I'm sure we're not ALL sugar plum fairies in real life. But knowing that WB is closely moderated does make you think twice about "how" you're posting. :)
WOW - i totally took the bait and checked out some of the posts. Who do people think they are, talking like that? I'm so glad I'm here!!
@BlondieBee,
I didn't mean like "big brother" is watching or anything like that. Just that Mr & Mrs Bee are active on the boards and do kindly remind us to play nice if things get a wee bit nasty. :) Which is hardly ever.
@BlondieBee, @Gerbera: Some boards also have Hive Hostesses who serve in the same capacity, I think? So if Mr and Mrs Bee aren't around the Hive Hostess on that board can send a PM or post about abiding by the TOC, which discourages people from snark and rudeness, and settle down any harshness. That's how I understand it, anyways. :)
I only posted on the knot boards once. I've been looking for samples of the dresses I've been looking for - I only had 2 responses and I didn't even look at the other boards.
I'm with the other ladies who say that once I found WB I didn't look for any other boards.
I have actually never gone on the boards at the knot or the nest. But after seeing this, I really have no desire to! I don't want to put my ideas out there just to get beaten up!
Yes, we have a team of wonderful Hostesses which do a fantastic job of keeping the boards going!
We've found that 99% of posters are nice... then one person will come along and attempt to create problems and/or controversy. We tend to reach out to that person and try to talk to them... if that doesn't work, then we consider closing the thread once most everyone has had a chance to weigh in on it.
Spammers we are much more brutal on - we delete and block spammers as quickly as we can find them!
@MissAB - I'm the same! I don't tend to venture off boards once I found one I like see... and WB was the first wedding blog link I went to in Google ;) Never looked back.
WB is definitely an intimate, cozy, and supportive environment... i really don't think it can be duplicated!
That was scary :(
Love the 'bee! I'll never stray again!!
I won't even go check :) It's not worth my mental energy. There is definitely a reason I made Weddingbee home!

i checked my email to find a weddingchannel.com email and thought i'd see what their message boards looked like.
Whomever "shelle" and "lorie" are out there on WC.com... they are two scary people. I am so thankful WB is supportive. The comments I saw on there from someone truly seeking advice and getting responses from these two were shallow, hurtful and petty. How do brides do this to one another?
I don't get it. I seriously don't. Do you go on other boards, hive? I enjoyed "stalking" this one for honeymoon ideas until i clicked on other categories. Watching other people tear each other apart? No thanks.
I'm truly sad for some of the other brides out there who need advice and never find the 'bee.
