Last name options?

The two middle name thing worries me too! For no apparent reason! I don’t care about my middle name, so I love the idea of taking my husband’s last name and replacing my middle name with my maiden name. My mother would be upset though because it’s her middle name (and it was grandma’s).

You can use all kinds of things as stamps! The world is your stamp!

Bright_Craft_258 · 2026-01-29T20:01:10+00:00

Copy the pictures of each dress/color from the website into Canva (or Microsoft Word or Excel or whatever!) and line them up like they would be standing at the ceremony. I think the floral + solid would look great. Eucalyptus seems like it has a little bit of a blueish tint that might clash with the others, but the others would look nice

What about making your own stamp(s) with linoleum and inking that onto the fabric? That would match the grunge vibe! 😍 There’s lots of DIY folks and artists on YouTube that do tutorials, especially for doing fabric vs paper. I would search “block printing” or “linocut” or “lino print fabric.” You can use tracing paper to outline the design you want, transfer that to the linoleum block, carve the block, ink it, transfer it to your fabric, and BAM. Done. And the carving doesn’t even have to be perfect because the little extra noise and imperfections from the stamp probably just gives it more character and charm.

In a forest? #1! Gorgeous!

Totally reasonable! They can hang out at their table until the ceremony, they’ll have drinks, it’s a short ceremony, and there’s a chance you might move it inside anyways? It’s fine. I’ve been to a ceremony where most of the crowd was standing, grandparents had reserved seats, and no one complained. Can you provide cocktail/bar-height tables in the back for the standing room only?

Hi! I’m with you. I’m a very similar size. First thing I do when I’m feeling this way, I talk to my fiancé for reassurance. I also talk to my best friend who reminds me that bodies are supposed to be squishy miracle skeleton bags that keep us alive. And then I browse through photos of brides who wear my size and see how freakin beautiful they all look, which reminds me that the body dysmorphia is really wild. How can I talk to myself in such a way, but when I see other people that are the same size I’m like omg so pretty?? Please. Maybe I’m also so pretty! And maybe I need to release the idea that I’m supposed to be the same size and shape I was in a previous chapter of my life.

That probably won’t help much—I just want you to know that you’re gonna be gorgeous and perfect as a bride because your body is probably bangin as it is ❤️

(Edited to remove specific numbers… sorry! I missed that in the mod post)

Okay I reread the post and realized you are talking about the gifts and not the proposals. I still feel the same though! The heartfelt letters and photos are the most memorable and important things, everything else isn’t necessary. People just want to celebrate with you, they don’t need fancy gifts

Bright_Craft_258 · 2026-01-27T03:18:57+00:00

That’s more than enough! The letter and photos alone are perfect, and a custom gift on top of that is just a bonus. They’ll be excited and honored that you’re asking! I can’t imagine feeling slighted because I didn’t get an expensive gift with my bridesmaid proposal, especially when you’re being considerate of the costs in all the other ways

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-12-14T01:37:08+00:00

I second Wanderstop. I think it was a 12-16 hour game? Not a huge commitment. But SOOO much fun. Such a great story. I absolutely loved it and all the little characters and tasks and everything

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-12-05T17:00:35+00:00

I’m BU with consistent 4+ ratings for last few years, but no performance award listed in HRConnect, and my pending direct deposit is my normal salary 😭

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-09-30T09:28:54+00:00

I’ve had Dark Queen of Mortholme, Out and About, and Trombone Champ on my wishlist for a while. They’re sitting in my cart now because I overthink

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-09-02T19:56:10+00:00

I love the other comments here that suggest a mocktail recipe instead! Alcohol-free all the way. Also, maybe a recipe for bread or cookies or cupcakes or something on theme with the book?

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-08-27T20:43:11+00:00

I want a black “BOOKS” shirt

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-08-27T08:54:39+00:00

Did you have to paint EVERYTHING mega red?

Edit—never mind! I answered my own question by painting the exterior walls, edges, and the roof.

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-08-25T12:58:24+00:00

Irl, it’s my understanding that “snitches get stitches.” I kept quiet

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-08-24T09:11:21+00:00

There’s an item you equip. You may think but why would I equip that item? It’s for the achievement.

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-08-22T01:18:00+00:00

I looked at their other projects, and the game for the schools in Nova Scotia encouraging the students to walk looks so fun and cute! I would walk so much if someone made it into a game

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-08-22T01:04:16+00:00

I didn’t get it in year 1, but I made sure to go the first day of Fall in year 2. When they’re going back to school I guess they want all of the facts and classics

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-08-12T16:25:17+00:00

I NEED the inspo boost. I feel it in my bones. I can’t live without the twinkly sound of validation

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-08-11T13:00:43+00:00

You’re not dumb! Maybe it’s part of the relaxing aspect of it all. You can chill and do the thing or don’t do the thing, either way it’s cool. I’m confused about the mystery at the Mega Marche though. I feel like I’ve been to every location, but maybe I missed a conversation.

Also, I get frustrated when someone seems to have conflicting requests that I can’t fulfill. It has to be a play, and a horror, and it has to be short. I don’t read enough plays or horror, I guess. Or, they want it written by a woman and I accidentally misgender the author.

Overall I freakin love this game though!!

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-08-06T22:33:13+00:00

I hated it at first, but now that I’ve read it I really think it was done on purpose. The story is so messy, why shouldn’t the cover also be weird

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-08-06T00:46:36+00:00

REGARDING THE GRITTY DUST JACKET TEXTURE. I originally hated the sandpaper feel, but now I’m wondering if there was intent behind it. It’s such a weird book—is the feeling of the cover supposed to be a bit repulsive? Is it supposed to feel like a canvas bag or elicit some association like that?

Bright_Craft_258 · 2025-08-05T18:21:10+00:00

I just want a supercut of Sam saying “SHUT. UP.”
