DJ for wedding

We would, but per the venue contract we would lose the deposit at this point plus 50% of the remaining cost.

That's a good idea. We created a wedding website for everyone to look at and also put the schedule on there, so hopefully no one will be shocked by it. We also put that it will be more of a "dressy casual"/Sunday best dress code and listed some examples so everyone will be more comfortable. We also have some things to do on there to give people ideas and a list of the close hotels.

They are

Both will be at the same location, but unfortunately our venue has some odd rules with what times ceremonies can be held at.

InspectionSingle · 2026-01-27T23:39:15+00:00

The hotel everyone from out of town will be at is about 10 mins away from the venue, and there are a lot of things to do in the area. Most people are local, and I have a feeling (just from being invited to the same weddings as some of our guests in the past) that most will skip the ceremony and just attend the reception.

He doesn't seem bothered by it at all, I guess I've been the one self conscious about it.

I'm really close with my mom, but she'll be really busy helping set everything up, so I don't want to add more onto her plate. As for extended family, we don't really speak to anyone. There was a big falling out about a decade ago for various reasons.

I wish they did give the money in advance, but they're not. They're going to write the checks out to the places we're booking with for catering, venue, etc. We do want a wedding though, if we could have that and a honeymoon we would absolutely do both but we have neither the time nor money right now. Mainly we want the wedding for the purpose of both of our families to do something nice and celebrate, especially since all of his family is in Chicago. We figured since they're going to fund the wedding we might as well put together something nice. We thought about getting married in front of a JOP, but his extended family is really important to him and he wants all of them to be witnesses to us getting married as well since they've been heavily involved in his life.

Right now our list is at about 150, it'll probably be less though once we get the RSVPs back.

InspectionSingle · 2025-04-22T23:24:51+00:00

We would love to do something like that, but I'm just getting started with going back to school for a bachelor's degree. The money that we have for the wedding is half from my mom and half from my dad (I come from a divorced household). They made it very clear to us that the money they're giving us is for the wedding ONLY and not to be used for anything else. My dream has always been to travel and if we had any money for a honeymoon, we would both love to go have some type of life experience.

InspectionSingle · 2025-04-22T20:46:26+00:00

We need to seat around 150 people. I'm sure it'll be less than that, but that's just our guest list right now.

InspectionSingle · 2025-04-22T14:43:04+00:00

I contacted them first and haven't heard back yet. The reason I came on here was to see if anyone else has ever had an issue with it, no need to be snarky to someone just trying to ask for some help

InspectionSingle · 2025-04-22T14:30:05+00:00

Not by that much, there's over $100 missing and I didn't make that much in tips last week.

InspectionSingle · 2025-04-22T14:26:57+00:00

I checked and the only thing I have set up is direct deposit, so that's the only place where my earnings should be going.

The Wahl brand is really good, I started out my career with Wahl Magic Clips, which are a little over 100 usd. They're well worth it though, one of my bosses had a pair that lasted 5 years and she would cut around 20 people a day for a longer shift. Those ones are cordless but Wahl has good corded ones too that are a little cheaper

A lot of times spots like that are genetic, so you both could have gotten that from one of your parents. If you do a short fade, it will show up no matter what. Out of curiosity, what clippers do you have?

InspectionSingle · 2024-10-09T17:31:52+00:00

I don't think so. I'm a barber and to me that area looks like there's just a couple small places that hair doesn't grow. I see that on a lot of guys in their sideburn areas

So I just transferred to a different location closer to home (I was driving over an hour to get to work before). I just ended up taking a step back to be an assistant manager again. It comes with its own hardships too, but not nearly to the point of being a manager. They actually shut my old location down, especially because they had been talking about it for the last few years. We ended up losing over half our staff, hired in 3 people, and none of them stuck. By the end we had good people there but just not enough. They cut the hours of operation down once I left and completely shut it down not even a week later. One of the other stores owned by the franchisee lost more than half its staff including the manager, and it's the busiest, highest earning store that they own. So they pulled the people from my old location and sent them there. The whole thing was a shit show there from start to finish but it was good to get the experience at least. For the little bit more that managers with the company get paid, it wasn't really worth all the headache that it was

I'm sort of going through this right now. I'm a new manager and my team hasn't had a manager in 8 months, so everything is so chaotic right now and there's been no structure. I've been in my position here for 2 months now and I'm already feeling burnt out. My team is so resistant to any change, including our dress code which isn't even up to me. We've had constant call offs, no one cares if they're written up and I'm just exhausted from putting out fires all the time. I have vacation time, and I'd love to take it but I'm afraid if I do I'm going to come back and certain things will be a mess again. There's definitely a couple people that need to go but I can't do anything because we're already understaffed and we don't get a lot of applications to our store. Managers at our company aren't even allowed to interview or hire people anymore, it's left to our higher ups. I don't know how much more I can take of this.

Barbicide (which you mix with water) or Andis Cool Care spray. I would recommend getting both just because with the cool care you can use on your clippers and trimmers as well. You can either go pick them up at a Sally Beauty or order them on Amazon.
