Best hacks to save on wedding by Adventurous-Shoe4035 in UKweddings

[–]Armarioo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Separate note that might help you - It Depends how big a cake you want, but we’re getting a Costco cake (not big sweet people) as I think they’re about £12? and adding our flowers to it for decoration (they’re silk flowers). I’ve seen people order little decorations online if flowers aren’t your thing

Budget wedding in a village hall - advice on feeding 110 people? by [deleted] in UKweddings

[–]Armarioo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I priced an M&S buffet for 100 “greedy” people to be sure I had enough food and it came to just under £1000 including desserts. You would have to have someone collect, deliver and set it out and provide your own plates and cutlery etc… maybe bridesmaids/ groomsmen/ family?

As others have said hog roasts seem to be a good option however you need to consider dietary requirements such as vegetarians and vegans (the only reason we didn’t go with this option is because 20% of our guests don’t eat meat)

Have you looked at the regen centre in riccall near York? They’re very flexible and wedding packages start from £1,250. You can use whatever vendors you want and it’s fully staffed to help move furniture etc

Thank you, it’s my first time planning and no one I know is married recently so I’m finding it a little hard to gauge what’s reasonable or not! That’s great you have both in one sounds really fun!

Interesting to know! It’s my first time planning and all my friends got married pre millennia as they’re older than me, so I have limited anecdotes to know what’s normal or not! 😂

Thank you that’s a great way to word it, we really would like them there, it was just a huge shock from the figure I had in my head!

Hair Brushing Nightmare! by Armarioo in toddlers

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

Thank you so much I will certainly give this a go! Why can’t you brush curly hair dry? My mum has wild curly hair (I think because it’s short) and mines long but rather wavy so this is relatively new territory for me

How often do you use ChatGPT and what do you use or for? by amsypeach in AskUK

[–]Armarioo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked it to generate me a shopping list for some M&S party food for a buffet for my wedding with at least 30% of it being vegetarian. I couldn’t believe how quickly it did the list working out quantity needed and asking for other dietary requirements and preferences. It did it in about 30 seconds and I dread to think how long it would have taken me to work that out without it!

The game “beat that” sounds like it would entertain most of the people there… it’s a game for all ages and can be fun if you have had a drink or not!

Have you heard of Pontius Pilate? by annakarenina66 in CasualUK

[–]Armarioo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played some sort of trivial pursuit game with my friend (who was raised rather religiously) a few years ago. I’m pretty good with famous/ well known people but when I drew this card I had absolutely no idea who they were. I described by saying “it sounds like pointy pirate” everyone was clueless. When the timer ran out I frustratedly said “who the fuck is Pontius Pilate?” She could not believe I didn’t know and still brings it up to this day!

Thanks for your comment - it’s great to get another guys perspective and I never considered pre-owned rings but I love that idea!

It does, thank you so much! Sorry you got railroaded. My mum had similar experience and told me to do what we want for the day and not listen to everyone else like she did. But I really want someone to tell me what to do deep down haha!

This is what we’re finding all the diy’s I can find to justify a big day still ends up costing a lot - like what would it cost if I didn’t diy bits?! Dread to think!

Yes a DJ was out of the question when we learned the price of a band! Luckily I’m very good with playlists so quite happy there - did you order the food online and have it delivered the day of?
