Knot Annie's Rules to Knot By
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. This is where you will want to ask questions about specific venues or vendors. 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. The Dress board is great for chatting about wedding attire, and Wedding Day Beauty is full of helpful style tips. Check out our Special Topic boards for your most specific questions.
• 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.

More Rules to Knot By
- Introduce yourself. We are some of the few people who want to hear every boring detail of your wedding! So tell us about it! That way we'll be able to let you know if we come across something you've been looking for or to just give better advice in general!
- Don't "Dirty Delete". This means please do not delete a post where other knotties have posted and given advice, *unless* that post has personal information in it that you don't want to divulge. You might not like some of the responses you get, but those same posts might help another bride-to-be!
- Search back for popular topics. As a local board, we get a lot of posts about vendor recommendations. Rather than asking for photographer recommendations for the third time this week, scroll down and check and see if this question was already asked and answered. Chances are it was!
- Be curteous to other knotties. "To each his own." What tickles your fancy, may not appeal to others. Remember this before posting!
- Give credit where credit is due. If you use another knottie's pictures or info, please give them credit. This goes for other websites as well including photographer websites, other wedding websites, etc., etc.
