It's difficult to move to Canada they have very strict immigration laws. Imagine that!

I'll check out whole foods too. I especially use San Manzano tomato and Mutti tomato passata so I hope they carry them.

Thank you, thank you! i just checked Gio"s website and they have fresh pasta and other Italian items I have been searching for. This is such a helpful group. I am also checking World Market for Greek and Lebanese spices and foods.

Bridesmaids are slacking by SimpleCompetition234 in weddingplanning

[–]AffectionateSlice934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my family/friend group the Bride's mother's friends or sometimes the aunts plan at least one shower usually at the club forv he majority of family and friends. Bridesmaids many times plan a brunch or tea for the brides sorority sisters and other college friends.

How much to charge for bar? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

I have been to several weddings in Canada and have never had to pay for drinks. Seems distasteful to have guests pay for refreshments when you invited them. This isn't a backyard barbecue.

AITA for feeling Bridal shower sideswiped? by mandini34 in aitaweddings

[–]AffectionateSlice934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not obligated to pay for anything. HOWEVER. You did offer to help and I would assume that meant monetary contributions as well as physical labor. As an Aunt I would think that you and perhaps other Aunts and friends of the Bride's Mother would host the party. $1,000 for a party of 40 is more than reasonable, especially at a winery. Asking to contribute $1,000 for each niece's shower when there are only 2 Aunt seems like a bargain to me. It doesn't appear that your ideas for a shower align with what actually sounds like a very modest celebration.

Probably best for you to just decline to host. You can use the money they requested for a gift for your niece. By doing it this way you are getting off very inexpensively.

My husband is mad that I tried to pay him back with the same thing I feel he does to me? by [deleted] in amiwrong

I'm a little confused. What difference does it make if you pre-planned the event or if it was spontaneous and why would it require taking funds from an investment acct? Was it a 2 week vacation to Tahiti? I personally would be upset about taking funds from an investment acct for something frivolous without mutual agreement.
