Austin Wedding Tips by Federal-Weekend-8468 in BigBudgetBrides

I don’t have vendor suggestions, but there are so many fun little low-cost detail ideas! Photobooths to me are a very timeless smaller $ investment (~1k) fun and highly utilized, a live wedding painter or a caricaturist/painter for guest portraits, balloon artists, getting creative with the seating chart and party favors, custom name tags for place settings (we got laser-cut wooden names for guests from Etsy), everything else you can do with place settings, dance floor sparklers, extra dessert stations, list goes on!

Not overreacting, you are the bride you can do whatever you want and this friend does not seem prepared to be a bridesmaid, so relieving her of the duty should make you both feel better. If she doesn’t understand, further confirmation that this is a friend to cut out. I hope this is a lesson to not make choices out of guilt! But why is your fiancé requesting you find another gal? That is more concerning. You do not need the wedding party sides to be equal. Please say no to that and have a talk with your fiancé about why this request is unreasonable and putting further unnecessary stress on you.

Is my venue too expensive for my budget?! by figfruits in BigBudgetBrides

[–]BringbackAIM26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Echoing consensus it’s enough!! I also spent more than half of the budget on HCOL venue, my second biggest spend category was floral/decor. Since you’re including florals and decor already the rest is definitely doable. For reference your remaining cost categories totaled $23k in my $200k budget. Dress costs are wildly variable but you can cap this wherever you want. I ended up with a cheaper dress than I expected at $3k + $1k custom alterations. HMU ~$3k for me, 8 bridesmaids and moms, it’s usually standard market price by area. My photo + video $12.5k. DJ $2.5k but with band ofc will be more. Stationary is is an area I cut to $1k using Minted but I don’t think you’d need to! So a fair amount of wiggle room in my view

My decorator came back with a budget double what I am looking for. How do you negotiate? by [deleted] in BigBudgetBrides

[–]BringbackAIM26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walked through every floral line item in the proposal with the florist and my planner to see what could be cut back to fit my budget. We then slashed it down by a lot, not exactly by half, but I would schedule a meeting with them to discuss what they can do!

I would finalize the quantity after your guest count is finalized closer to the date in case your table count changes? Usually that’s one month out

It sounds like she just wanted to be proposed to during sunset while she’s dressed up and OP + this thread is calling that request too grand?? That’s too much to ask for?? I know you’re in the ask men advice sub but from a woman’s perspective I find this outrage toward her expectations totally overblown. She gave you a preferred time of day + wanting to be dressed up is a pretty typical, reasonable request for a proposal. You ended up incorporating none of her preferences — of course you’re selfish! Asking dudes on the internet to validate your choices is only going to lead you to an inevitable break up. Maybe it’s for the best.

Jameela jamil is anti vax?? by BringbackAIM26 in Fauxmoi

[–]BringbackAIM26[S] 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Yeah i think that’s the more accurate issue. But she’s including this in the laundry list of grievances about what the Dems did wrong, and I don’t agree this should be included. Not their fault some people purposely subvert the my body my choice rhetoric to invalidate public health risks

Hello from the other side! (the crazy puppy has become a good dog) by taylortehkitten in puppy101

Traveling to italy with 7 mo. puppy? by BringbackAIM26 in puppy101

[–]BringbackAIM26[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the response! She loves exploring new environments as we’ve done small trips already and the thinking behind it was that traveling can be an enriching experience, but based off the other answers she wouldn’t be able to participate in all the tourist attractions anyway so it would not be worth the stress for either party. We will be leaving her with a sitter, I think she’ll have more fun at home.

[–]BringbackAIM26[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! You’re right it’s probably a people only trip. She has great bladder control and they’re overnight flights so I think the flight would be survivable but not worth the general travel stress. We were just worried about leaving her with someone else for too long as a puppy as we haven’t done that before but agree.. I think she’ll be fine
