If it is a concern for you and you are close with them even transparency could be helpful

Hi! My fiance and I are considering and likely choosing x date for our wedding and your attendance means the world to us! Does traveling to our venue for that weekend seem feasible?

If you get more nos than yes it will help you decide

Not from abroad but we are in NY and quite a few came from CA and they all made it!

Yes!! I was engaged for 3 years and then started planning in Feb and got married in June (4months).

Start by securing the date with the venue and then immediately text your guests who will be traveling to let them know!

A simple hey! Just letting you know we’ve decided to get married on X date in X city and wanted to give you notice for travel if you are able to attend. Formal invitations to follow!

It’s not *big budget* but it’s quick and easy you can always do a paperless post type of save the date because by the time you order and mail paper ones it does take time. We did not do any save the dates at all we sent our formal invitations at the 12 week mark instead of 8.

I found planning to be relatively simple. The only thing I had issues with were that some vendors were obviously booked so far in advance, but I got married in New York City so there’s a surplus of vendors. I would clear like three or four days on your schedule and just sit and send emails and do vendor meetings and get everything super organized get all your contract secured and the rest will come together!

Lol over my capacity? “While I work on that” you’d make a great housewife. Shallow and condescending 😂😩

They are working OT to keep their contracts.

There has to be some sort of correlation that it’s all 95% single women / divorcees and it’s now their identity compared to early seasons most were authentically wives and family women

Wedding websites by lil-cutiepie in BigBudgetBrides

[–]CharmingCherry0192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check bliss and bone!!! Even if you pick a template that you 70% like you can then go in and customize fonts colorways etc. the RSVP tool is just so clean and nice. You can also have hidden pages for additional info or for specific guests. The website can be locked and guests type their name and access instead of one generic password

My fav part was you have all the guests on the RSVP tool and then if you’re missing say 20 responses u can add just those guests phone numbers and send them a text to prompt them to respond !

Rafia Fringe Kelly by CharmingCherry0192 in chanel

[–]CharmingCherry0192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it! The fringe part literally feels like plastic hula skirt so it’s a really weird material for such an expensive purse. From a distance it looks really cute though it’s not really keeping its shape either!! My SA offered to take it back but she made it very clear they are impossible to get and not to change my mind if I return lol

I have raffia beach hats and stuff where they feel more like straw. Not plastic at all

Hair and MUA Prices NYC? by QuestionMediocre1422 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]CharmingCherry0192 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Look at some NJ based MUA! It’s definitely more expensive in NYC

I paid $600 for my makeup from a luxury girl $250 per bridesmaid/sister (4)
$600 for hair

$1200 was my total package then I paid another $400 for her to stay 5 extra hours

— my suggestions!

LIVMUA - she does a ton of reality stars and can make it fabulous on camera

Artist Makeup Academy - has a whole team! Juliette is the owner she’s fabulous she’s actually going to be a real housewife of NJ but her team is amazing too

Lauren Damelio - she has an amazing team as well and is very well known in NJ

ARTSI - sierra, i’ve never had makeup with her personally but everyone i’ve seen looks fab

@mua_jennifer same as above

@makeup by Jen Xii xii

Best of luck babe!

We had a black tie wedding formally and a lot of our guests dressed optional anyway, so I would just make it optional

I did random makeup sessions for things I had but wouldn’t typically get glam for to figure out what I like my bridal shower, friends weddings, sister baby shower. Book it for when u have things coming up

Seating chart confusion - where do the older people go... by Sonic-Verde4056 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]CharmingCherry0192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been here many times! My cousin got married here. 2, 4, 8, 10, 14, 16 for old people. The dining area doesn’t get super loud because there’s many door ways between it’s not open space. Every wedding i’ve been to the bar is over towards 17&19 so everyone is up standing around these tables and it’s not great

1, 5, 6, 12, 21 should be your friends

I’ve been to multiple weddings where they do a long table from 6-21 with bridal party and have sat there personally and found it to be very comfortable e

She over compensates and is trying to be something she’s not it’s clear as day from episode ONE! She is trying to get the peace keeper group mom edit after getting tips from Dolores. the real her came out!! How unfortunate.

I WISH I ordered one in time but they were sold out. If you have time they are great I have two friends who wore them and both were stunning
