To submit your wedding to Martha Stewart Weddings, send the following information about your wedding to realweddings@marthastewartweddings.com:

• your name

• wedding location
• wedding date

2. When I print recipes from the site, the text on the right side is cut off. How can I prevent this?

We offer a "printer-friendly" option for recipes posted online. Click on "Print." This text (and an icon of a printer) is located in the upper-right corner, above the title of the recipe. The printer-friendly formatted page will load. This will reformat the text to fit on an 8 1/2 by 11-inch sheet of paper. We do not offer recipe-card-size (3 by 5 or 4 by 6) text formatting at this time.

We do not offer the ability to exclude the photograph from the recipe or project at this time.

Hyperlinks are also included in our recipes or project information, when they have additional components. The link to the information you desire is provided in the ingredients or materials list. Click on the link once and the information will load.
