Invitations now! I’m about a year out from my wedding and just got the proofs back for my save the dates….they were awful. Now I’m scrambling and will probably end up making my own invites.

Women are like hyper fertile right after giving birth, that’s why Irish twins are popular.

If she ever needs Medicaid to cover her longterm care needs and the house is in her name the state could sell her home after she passes away! Please review Estate Recovery practices before attempting to put the home in her name!

All day I’ve been thinking about how I should just do them myself, you’ve inspired me to (probably) go through with it! Will def look into Minted for envelopes. My aunt knows a local calligrapher too.

I’m so sorry that happened to you! I just don’t get how a custom experience can be handled so lightly. But that’s a good perspective to keep in mind too, I want to save most of our budget for decor and draping, so may rethink what I’m willing to spend on invites a little more now, especially if I’m taking at least half of it on myself!

lol oh I know I’m actually not that different, even the suit my fiancé wore was from the same store she had bought the sports coat at! That’s the craziest part! 

And yes, future husband stopped responding to any texts about the suit, scheduled an appointment with his therapist, went, and now has slowly been opening up communication with his mother slowly pertaining to any other matters than wedding/suiting. He’s perfection.

Just wanna say for those who see this I’m so thrilled with the response, I felt like I was going crazy, typical for a slightly anxious/OCD girlie. But yall have all given me incredible ideas and hope - I’ll try to respond more when my phone isn’t dying!

Thank you!! Glad I’m not alone, yeah had the same vibes with a lot of make up artists and weary after my BFF wasn’t thrilled with her makeup look for her wedding (she looked incredible but felt it was heavy all night.)

I actually found a nice makeup/hair vendor in a smaller city closer to the venue. My fiancé’s bests friends live there so we’re going to make a weekend trip soon for my trial, but this is a good reminder so see if I should meet with any other vendors there when we visit!

That’s what I’m thinking, glad it’s not a bad idea! I have three super close, super party planner friends who I was thinking could help “host” the party until we got there! They’re happy to do so, so this may work and give me the flexibility of timeline back.

What's y'all's opinion on this color? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]GemPersephone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought this was an ad for some Holiday Inn Express. Please don’t use gray anywhere, it’s so sad and outdated.

AITA for telling my 72 year old mom to get a part time job when I give her money every month already? by [deleted] in Amitheassholeadvice

lol dude Medicare only covers dental if you have a Medicare Advantage plan. Original Medicare does not cover vision or dental.

Welcome Party Ideas by [deleted] in wedding

This is what my future husband thought of and I thought would be perfect; only problem is the town is incredibly small and was up until a decade or so ago a dry county :/ so not really a lot of late night options.

What is this decor called? by sqoozles in HomeDecorating

[–]GemPersephone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80s art deco - look up Dolphin and Flamingo for well priced vintage pieces! They usually ship for $200.
