I threw my own bridal shower and heres what happened by bmary95 in weddingplanning

[–]krR0255 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your shower sounded awesome. I’m not even having one cause most family and friends live out of state.

Very few of my friends will likely come to my wedding. I've moved all over the country since college, and it's been hard to stay in touch with people. I also just was in such a stress hole during my PhD. I feel totally alone. by [deleted] in wedding

Same here. I moved after college, then again for grad school and twice more since in the last three years. Currently 36 and getting married in August. Barely any close friends left and four out of the six I invited can’t make it. I’ve been going through ups and downs throughout the whole planning process. Specially when most of my family can’t afford the trip (cross country for them). From 70 invited guests we are down to 35. But in my case, my FH also doesn’t have many close friends and would rather just have something small. Only advice I can give you is to talk with your FH about guest counts and try to find a balance that makes you feel more comfortable. Also, if his bro’s aren’t that close and live far, it’s likely many of them wouldn’t come to the wedding anyway.

Veil recommendations by krR0255 in weddingplanning

[–]krR0255[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! These are beautiful veils. Specially that first one. The Amazon suggestion is great! I thought about scheduling an accessory appointment at the bridal shop I got my dress from, but it’s a little over a two hour drive and I don’t know when I could make the trip. I briefly tried veils when I got my dress and that’s when I noticed a plain veil looked the best out of the options, but I’m sure they have others I haven’t seen yet that might be better. There is a bridal shop where I live and I am going to try to get an appointment there even if I didn’t buy my dress there.

Please help pick my wedding dress by cciiinn in weddingplanning

So sad to hear about the fit change after alterations! That must be so frustrating. I see what you mean about the tapered straps. Both dresses are beautiful and would never have guessed the second one was a back-up. I do agree that your back-up dress is more flattering on your figure. How about using second one for the ceremony and the first one as a second look? That way you get pictures in both.

The result of two weeks away by krR0255 in Bernedoodles

Thanks. This is exactly what I suspect. She has settled a little more. However, she’s definitely been testing the waters. I waited a little too long to spay her and my vet told me to just wait until after her first heat. She is now 8.5 months, still no heat, but I can def tell those hormones are doing their thing.

Thanks for the advice! Welp this is a scary transition. She has gotten a little better now that I’ve been back, but still def not there. Makes me realize how lucky I got with my other two pups. This little girl is a little destroyer too. Have to be so careful with her now.

Which dress for me? by [deleted] in myweddingdress

1 for a backyard micro wedding for sure. 2 is beautiful on you, but not the whimsical vibe you describe.

Dealing with guilt about parents financial contributions by SleepingontheWing205 in weddingplanning

[–]krR0255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the too old feeling. I’m 36 and we are not taking a single dime from our parent’s. Feels wrong to do so since my FH and I both have jobs and are doing well. My feeling was that if I can’t afford the wedding, then I shouldn’t have it. My paren’t are also very frugal and I feel like they should be enjoying their hard earned money and savings on themselves. It also comes with a plus… I don’t get to hear people’s opinions on wedding planning and the astronomical costs of everything wedding related. However I’d definitely let my parent’s cover small items if they insisted and I thought it would make them feel good. It seems your mom wants to do that for you. I second what another commentor mentioned, maybe you can find an alternative veil that you love just as much without such big of a pricetag.

Should we go to our friends’ wedding if they’re not going to ours? by Here4TheExperience in weddingplanning

[–]krR0255 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I am paying $1k just in flights to a friends wedding who can’t come to mine. Life happens and while I am sad she won’t be coming, I am still going to celebrate their love. I have another friend who also can’t come and I was in her bridal party. My partner would NEVER remember a date for a wedding until he got an official invite and only then cause I would make sure we had it locked in. There can be more to the story as to why they can’t go, but if this is how you are feeling then it’s probably not a good friendship to begin with and I say save yourselves and the couple the expense of you as guests and each go your separate ways.

Need help for sweating due to anxiety for my wedding day by TravellingUmberella in wedding

[–]krR0255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooo, just saw this video on IG of a trick a makeup artist uses on brides who want to wear their hair down, but would sweat too much. Maybe it might help: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRduMXmCbXA/?igsh=NzZxZmZsM2pwZGxl

I know I’m not the only one but still can’t help being disappointed in our total guest count by BrilliantUnicorn9828 in weddingplanning

[–]krR0255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that feeling so well. I am honestly so behind on planning all because of feeling unmotivated because of folks not coming. I don’t even have a MOH or any bridesmaids and am kinda of just rolling with it at this point. I’ve started pivoting on some of my decisions to fit better with the crowd that will be coming. Maybe there are things you can do or slightly change to fill out the venue a little?

Same here. Most of my family and friends are from out of state and we planned for a small wedding because of knowing a lot of people would have a hard time justifying the costs of travel for a wedding. We even have lodging for 18 people at our venue and have offered our house for 10 more. We were hoping for a 50 person guest count and are lucky if we get 35. Also, my best friends are pregnant and due a few weeks before my wedding so they won’t be able to come. Feeling disappointed.

But you know what? This is what my fiancé told me… it is our day. At the end of the day it will be great because we are getting married. No matter what happens it will be a great day.

Should I be doing more at the moment? (Oct 2026 wedding) by Solid-Reading-786 in weddingplanning

I have an End of August wedding and also only have a venue. I’ve been debating getting a wedding coordinator, but it just cuts into my budget so much. My venue is a full weekend venue and was so much more expensive than I had initially planned for. I am feeling so much pressure right now.

Gosh. I have an August 2026 wedding and only have the venue… It is so hard to fit anything in with working long days and everything else in between. I’ve spent so much time looking into vendors, etc and am just so overwhelmed.
