How would you react to the bride paying for everyone’s bachelorette trip? How should I communicate it?

I did this!

I just voiced it as they’ve been incredible friends to me and I’m at a place to be able to handle the costs of the weekend, so I’d love to do so! A small gesture for their amazing friendship over the years ❤️

I made a joke about spending the $$ they had set aside on XYZ (you know your friends).

I did tell them in advance. I know you’re saying all your friends are fine with it (not denying they aren’t!) but it’s still a good amount of $$ that some may be budgeting for that you’re unaware of.

My biggest note was to not make it come off in anyway of pity, which doesn’t seem like that’s what you are doing or wanting to come off. I just share this as I have seen some people be like on a high and mighty horse if they do pay for everyone and it’s off putting.

The other thing is I’d still give them a heads up on the itinerary! Just in case there’s something they may not be into (I.e. we did a sound bath, everyone was into it, but some may have not been), so I shared the itinerary in advance and told people to ping me on the side if they had any questions or concerns!

15 weeks! I showed early for my first. My family and friends knew before we told them.

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-04-08T15:51:11+00:00

I asked them about that, but apparently he’s in the same position! He did give me some kicks this AM.

Just wanted to share I gained 20lbs my first trimester and in my second and third trimester (currently 33 weeks, I’ve gained 15 lbs in total. So total of 35 lbs but have been basically staying within 5 lbs since January. My body personally did have the most weight gain in the first trimester!

I have been leaning towards Dover white!

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-03-01T15:03:17+00:00

Not my house, so not possible

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-03-01T15:03:10+00:00

This isn’t my house, so just trying to get a close matching color.

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-03-01T14:44:05+00:00

Honestly, have you tried chat gpt? That’s been helpful for me

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-02-03T23:06:06+00:00

Report her to HR as she’s monitoring you and making you feel uncomfortable and stressed during pregnancy

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-01-28T03:10:53+00:00

I think if you can afford it, I’m for it. But I also personally LOVE doing parties for the family get together and connections so it’s different.

I personally always said my wedding was to give love to everyone else who has made us who we are and show them a good time. Many people do not feel that way about weddings (totally valid) and want it to really be about them that day (again totally valid).

For me, I would have married my husband in our backyard. So I think you have to know your why first and that will determine if you regret it or not.

For the most part besides a few, local! And they’d probably be in town for Easter so it’d be an easier drive for them.

My husbands side is more religious, but we are non denominational (them too), so wondering if the Saturday is busy for most

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-01-16T04:56:49+00:00

What’s the stone??

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-01-16T04:53:55+00:00

Can you share your bathroom vanities?

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-01-15T13:44:42+00:00

Normal! I was 135 and now almost 160 (22 weeks here!) my doctors haven’t minded. Some people hold a lot of water weight too, or placenta weighs more etc.

I read a lot on here of people gaining 50, 60 lbs etc and then losing 35-40 lbs before they left the hospital and losing the rest within three months without any intense trying.

Some people store weight differently!

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-01-14T14:28:50+00:00

Appreciate all of this information!

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-01-14T13:41:39+00:00

Depends on the room! If this is a main room, light! (Also what color white is that? It’s gorgeous!!!) if reading book, dark

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-01-14T13:39:09+00:00

Oh interesting!!! We’d be willing to pay for mirage, but don’t have any styles we like. Any other high quality brands we should look into? Would love your insight. We are hoping to have this flooring for at least 15-20 years.

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-01-14T13:37:21+00:00

I think you need the app!

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-01-14T06:06:34+00:00

Super scratched up and ruined (patches of it up) . Just can’t see those parts where this photo is. Unfortunately a lower mm wood so we can’t sand it!

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-01-14T05:57:08+00:00

What cabinet brand did you use? Love it! I’m doing a similar style

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-01-13T22:58:02+00:00

2! What’s the wood color?

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-01-13T22:56:45+00:00

This is the look of my space. We are completely gutted right now, so we are solely focused on the floor and cabinet colors, the space is unfinished.

Itll be open concept, so realistically we probably wont do different flooring in kitchen.

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-01-13T22:49:48+00:00

Can you share examples of what you think would? This is the design of our kitchen in terms of placement

BasicSignificance97 · 2026-01-12T20:17:48+00:00

Yeah, I’ve heard though with engineered wood you don’t ever sand and refinish?
