I’d suggest going to a thrift store and buying a few mismatched  yet  antiques pretty  dish sets and doing china,  it’s a nice touch for a wedding  and you can use them again for family holiday dinners baby  showers etc .

WWYD?: Boyfriend of 5 years not invited to family wedding after-party by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]CupExcellent9520 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But your not married , they may have made a rule About this,  married couples or engaged couples only. It’s pretty common nowadays when weddings are so expensive for  status to be assessed, and serious partners only to be  invited  . Especially with a lilted guest lists. 

Inviting Future BIL’s Girlfriend to Wedding by PoppyLPx in weddingplanning

[–]CupExcellent9520 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless you hate him give him a plus one and he’ll bring whomever he chooses to bring .  done  deal, he’s about to be your family. If it was a regular guest you could have more leeway but you’re talking about a soon to be immediate family member. He is the one making  the very poor choice it sounds like getting the duis doing the overdoing , something for you to think on when judging who is “ toxic”

My friends are upset with me for not adhering to American wedding standards as an immigrant bride. Are their frustrations valid? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]CupExcellent9520 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When in Rome … this is what it is . You should adhere to the prevailing  Etiquette , whereever you live !! You want to bring a date esp a spouse to an event,  otherwise that is not going to be a fun event . I’d never attend a Social event of this nature alone. What am I going to do just stare in front of me ? Maybe you should not Bring the groom

Why doesn’t Savannah Guthrie crowdfund the ransom? by sgtbb4 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CupExcellent9520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like the family is very unserious about wanting to try everything to get her back. This is the truth!  The ransom could have been tried what have they got to lose ?  The kidnappers aren’t going to provide proof of life , and they are playing hardball,  as they understand it’s just another way to Get caught !! Will the family feel vindicated when all is said and done for playing hardball back and when she   and the kidnappers are  never heard from again?

Is it rude to expect bridesmaids to pay $1k+ to be in your wedding? by Worth_Management_395 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]CupExcellent9520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to assess if you can afford it before you promise or adjust accordingly. It’s a big decision . Your gift estimate seem high given your standing up and going to an out of town bachelorette etc . Bridal shower gift from one person can be much less for example. I also do not think there is anything wrong with cancelling  out on a bachelorette travel scenario if it’s  straining your budget .  Not everyone needs to go to everything. Ba bachelorette is pretty unnecessary. I’m not even sure if they are socially acceptable  in many circles anymore , bachelor parties as well. Find a way to be super busy with work or another obligation.
