New to The Knot?

Welcome to The Knot Community! Our message boards are one of the best sources for brides while planning their wedding.

Before you make your first post, some insider knowledge might be helpful:

•    Post first on your local boards. This is where you’ll find a welcoming group of members who are getting married in the same area as you. Many of the local boards have Knottie Get-Togethers where so many of our brides have made lifelong friends.

•    Your club board is also a great place to start. All of the Knotties here are getting married in the same month, so it’s great for seasonal ideas and counting down to your wedding day together.

•    Before you post on national boards, like Planning and Etiquette and Snarky Brides, lurk first. Many of these boards have a group of regulars. P&E is one of the busiest boards where you’ll find plenty of wedding-related questions with honest answers, but be sure to check a few pages before you post to see if your question has already been asked. Attire and Accessories board is great for chatting about your dress, jewelry or tuxes, and Wedding Beauty is full of helpful style tips. Check out our Special Topic boards for your most specific questions. Also, check the FAQ section for tons of helpful tips.

•    You’ll notice that most of the boards have a moderator listed at the top. Feel free to page them in a post (by typing their user name in the title) with any questions that you might have. They’re there to help.

And you’re always welcome to email me with any questions or concerns at messageboards@theknot.com.

Congratulations and happy planning,

Knot Annie
