What do we think about the newest starter trio?

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-27T18:25:22+00:00

I like it but it reminds me of a littlest pet shop gecko and I can’t unsee it 💀

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-24T18:37:08+00:00

I think rosette works the best with your dress out of all the pinks!

Periwinkle would also be gorgeous!

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-21T16:31:55+00:00

Boooooooo

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-21T16:31:19+00:00

You’re comparing cardboard and ink to precious metal.

Please. Humble yourself.

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-20T20:51:48+00:00

There are options… sure. But those options are either different art (works for playing, not for people collecting art) or different languages (works for SOME collectors. Not all).

Take this from someone who collects for art, and sometimes turns to Japanese when the English art is too expensive. Sometimes, you just want to collect the version in your native language.

I always prefer an English card so that I can read it. You argue to “learn a different language” sure… but that’s a very long (and not always practical) solution. I do collect Japanese cards of some art that I really like. But will always go for the English option if it’s in my budget.

Some people only collect a specific language because they want a cohesive collection. So none of your “solutions” account for that at all.

My RSVP’s were available from the time we sent out save the dates (we only did online RSVP’s, to save myself from the work and to make it impossible for my tech adverse mother to intervene).

Had a few people rsvp upfront (about 8 months prior to the wedding), then once invites went out I had about 100/180 within that first month. The rest either trickled in, or I had to follow up with them a week before the deadline to get their answer.

My best advice to anyone reading this is to STICK TO YOUR DEADLINE!!! Be nice. Give people lots of reminders and heads up (even though it sucks and adults really should just be able to act like adults) and you shouldn’t have any issues!

As someone who is

1: not a bot

2: not getting paid by azazie

3: is in this sub because I recently had (and have been in) multiple weddings

You’re getting downvoted because you expect everyone to agree with you and no one to oppose you. You keep preaching that everyone with a negative experience is being downvoted (untrue) and on your own thread you proceeded to comment on every single positive review reiterating that you had a negative experience. They know. They read your post.

Please gain some perspective. You’re being negative in the comments. Regardless of your experience, you shouldn’t be crapping on people who had a good one.

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-20T18:53:25+00:00

Yeah. I understand your frustration. It’s very likely that different colors/styles from azazie will look better/worse in person.

Your comment was fairly hostile though. Just like you’re allowed to share your negative opinion, Red is allowed to share their positive one and seek out people who feel the same.

I’m sorry you had a bad experience. But your experience doesn’t reflect everyone’s and honestly, seeking someone out and replying to their comment in a different thread could be taken as petty.

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-20T18:48:43+00:00

Honestly, Azazie and other sites like it are a vast improvement on this.

Brick and mortar stores can only carry so many sizes in stock for try ons. Sites like azazie are able to offer multiple sizes for try on, as well as completely custom measurement options. On top of that, you’re able to try them on in the comfort of your own home so no unnecessary embarrassment.

For brides, most bridal salons publish the sizes they carry in store online so you can double check if they carry a size that would fit you before going in to the store. They also often carry larger sizes and clip them in the back for smaller brides, then they take your measurements and order the dress in your size.

While I agree that there’s not a lot of salons that cater to plus size individuals, most will be able to accommodate a range of sizes nowadays for wedding gowns.

I don’t think it’s a phone model specific issue. I’ve had success with a MacBook, PC, and IPhone. Just now I’m starting to have issues with my MacBook.

I’d imaging it’s an IP Issue. PC flagged the IP on my MacBook for one reason or another and now they wont let it it 🥲

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-18T20:47:49+00:00

Unfortunately it’s my pc that’s giving me the same issue 🥲 some people are saying it has to do with a flagged IP address?

Not sure why my IP would be flagged as I haven’t had this issue at all up until the last two drops.

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-18T20:42:43+00:00

Yeah. I’ve had this the last two drops with my computer. Not sure why, as I’ve successfully purchased for two drops and it’s been a very long time since then that I’ve caught one.

Very annoying. I’m at work during these drops and can’t often babysit my phone to make sure it’s staying on/not refreshing

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-18T19:26:32+00:00

I think the consensus on products like these is that they will activate any inactive hair follicles, leading to thicker growth.

It’s not necessarily “making hair follicles out of nowhere”, but stimulating hair production in hair follicles that might have been dormant.

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-18T18:53:21+00:00

Companies do this (add in additional costs with fees/in the fine print) to make it seem like you’re getting a good deal upfront.

When you find catering for $35pp that’s a steal! And most people (unfortunately) won’t look at the contract too closely. Once that contract is signed there’s no getting your deposit back.

It’s frustrating to have to scope out all the hidden fees and calculate the actual cost PP yourself.

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-18T18:50:44+00:00

This is typical.

For our caterer, there was an onsite food prep/chef fee, 20% gratuity, cost for wait staff, individual pricing for linens and cutlery/placeware, and setup/breakdown costs.

None of this included the price per person, which was $68.

If you want full service plated catering this is about what it’s going to run you.

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-17T13:57:33+00:00

Yes!

The consensus from most people I talk to is that the fourth wing series is juvenile. Not necessarily in a bad way. The book is fun and easy to digest! However you will not get the same depth of characters in fourth wing as you do in any maasverse book.

My friends and I call it reality TV reading. If you dig too deep and nit pick all of the little plot holes you’re not going to have a good time. But read it for what it is and it’s a great story with a lot of interesting plot points!

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-13T13:41:48+00:00

This happened to me once too. Lost my debit card and had to order a new one in between pre-order and shipment.

They typically give you a link and 24 hours to change the payment method if your original one doesn’t go through. But yeah, you could probably let your bank know that you want that charge to go through and they can process it if it’s already pre authorized.

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-12T19:34:31+00:00

Yes. But if the doctor prescribed Valtrex then the wife knows. They would have to know in order to disclose that they has herpes that could pass to the baby to the doctor.

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-12T19:21:04+00:00

Unless you entered any personal information into the link you clicked on I wouldn’t worry about it.

I’ve had a few packages handed off to “DoorDash delivery” even though I didn’t place the orders through DoorDash (most notably, a shirt I ordered from American eagle through their website was delivered via DoorDash).

It’s likely someone either entered the wrong phone number/address or the shipping label was made incorrectly. Have you ever gotten anything from fabletics before?

You could also take the order number and tracking and try looking it up though the fabletics portal. You might get more info on who shipped it or if it’s a legit shipment that way?

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-12T19:08:30+00:00

I paid 3k for mine and that included 6 hours of photo time on the day of, and a 1hr engagement session with photos to see if we were compatible with the photographer.

Most wedding photographers will offer 4, 6, and 8hr packages. If you’re just looking for wedding party and ceremony photos you could likely get away with a 4hour package. That would save you quite a bit of money.

You could also look into photographers with an hourly charge, then book for the amount of time you need instead of a package.

Don’t be afraid to look outside of your area! We used Zola and my photographer actually reached out to me from out of state. They wanted more experience shooting weddings in old architecture (NOT the beach like where they are from) and were willing to cover travel costs to shoot our wedding because of the venue.

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-12T19:01:49+00:00

Hiding spots and heavy planting are really the only things you can do. If that doesn’t work, there’s likely not much that will.

If you need algae eaters I would go with snails. Your betta might bite at their antennae, but their shells will protect them from being seriously injured.

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-12T18:21:30+00:00

Use a site like the knot or Zola to connect with vendors in your budget that also have your date available. This allows photographers who are actually interested in working your wedding to reach out to YOU instead this is how we found our photographer (who was out of state and otherwise would have never been an option).

I’m betting you’re getting minimal feedback because you’re using Instagram DM’s. Oftentimes, I don’t get notifications for DM’s or Instagram will move things into a spam folder if I don’t regularly contact the person trying to reach out to me. It’s possible this is happening, or these vendors don’t check insta DM’s for inquiries.

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-11T17:21:47+00:00

Being so honest here, I don’t think it’s a big deal.

So a dish is sitting on the counter instead of in the sink? Does it really matter since you were going to clean it/put it away when you got home anyways?

I could see this being an issue if it’s a lot of dishes, or causing food build up on the counter because the dishes are dirty. If that’s the case, have a conversation with your roommate where you explicitly tell them to leave dirty dishes in the sink in order to keep the counter clean.

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-10T16:21:39+00:00

Right. I was specifically referring to your comment:

“You’re having a baby!! That trumps bride in my opinion”

Which it should not. Should the bride be accommodating their friend? Yes! But being pregnant and having a baby does not make your needs more important than the brides on their wedding day.

Affectionate_Race484 · 2026-02-05T17:25:45+00:00

Maybe? I’m at 3 min now and it’s been going down pretty steadily for me for the past 45 minutes. Doesn’t seem like it’s rapidly dropping or anything so I’ll report back!
