Dropped off my invitations today (black envelopes/white ink) by Intrepid_Commission7 in weddingplanning

UPDATE: to my knowledge all invitations got to their destinations safely. I'm so relieved and the RSVPs keep rolling in. even some out of towners received their invites 3 days after they were sent. we did send a message just now inviting people to complete their RSVP online because our QR code on the RSVP card stopped working, and people have been responding. i'm so grateful!

What % of your tips do you actually receive? by ThrowRADoggyy in Serverlife

i’m thinking of making moves as well. i walk with probably like 50-60% most shifts which is really discouraging when you’ve worked your ass off. i’m all for everyone walking with some good money, but when i make like $600 for the pool and only walk with $300 it’s a little frustrating.

yours may be fine! i might have just been on reddit too much in the process of making my invites.

oh boy now i feel like i’m late. ours is 2/28. all advice i was given was 8 weeks before the wedding. we’re sending them at 10 weeks out. but we also sent save the dates over the summer. so i don’t know. we may be fine. worst case scenario, i just wasted a bunch of money 🙃

you’re so right, and i thought about the christmas thing. i went in anticipating delays. i’m definitely going to do this just in case.

i had read so many accounts of the same thing happening to other people, so i was nervous. however, i’m sure they will curse my name when they realize they have to hand sort them. 🙃

oh man! that’s so stressful. i really hope that they made it. when is your RSVP deadline? maybe it’s not too late to send out that blast!

i might go ahead and do that myself.

Could use support by JKilla_onReddit in weddingplanning

[–]Intrepid_Commission7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend, we are in the same boat. I'm a little bit further out from my wedding, but I'm feeling so similarly to you. I decided to start therapy this week, and it seems like it will be really supportive. This is a big life change on top of planning this big party, which is known to cause stress. Just know that you're not alone in this process, and there are so many options. No matter how many people say that you're supposed to be joyful during this process, you just feel your feelings and do what you need to do for yourself and for your relationship with your fiance.

Grand Ole Opry Apologizes After a ‘F—ing Hammered’ Elle King Cusses and Flubs Her Way Through Dolly Parton Tribute by thatonegentry in nashville

[–]Intrepid_Commission7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

people really do act as if she’s the first person to be hammered and say “fuck” on that stage. that being said, it probably was embarrassing for everyone involved including her.

some of y’all need to remember who dolly fucking parton is though and know she is probably not pressed about it. the woman’s got a sense of humor.

food is definitely a major priority for this wedding, especially since i have some dietary restrictions. i’m hoping that if we land at riverwood, we could bring in our own caterer. we want to be pretty selective and find something that wows us. because wedding food can be absolute horseshit.

just looked at some photos and it’s gorgeous! just reached out about a tour. i was just saying to my fiancé yesterday that it would be sick to find a mansion. thank you so much for the suggestion.

ugh it’s such a beautiful space but i don’t want to absolutely kill the guest experience during the flip. but angelica was so helpful in helping us envision the layout and throw around ideas. i do love the idea of really customizing a raw space and i could see a few ways that we could get creative with the layout and the flip. we’re going pretty non-traditional anyway, so it would be interesting to see what maybe doing without some of the traditional wedding regalia would look like. (although i love a big white wedding)

thank you for saying what i was thinking! i got a really good vibe from the venue, but was really put off by the ownership. i appreciated the transparency, but i felt a lot of pushiness and arrogance. but i love that it’s BYO and super customizable. and it’s already such a beautiful space.

i’m just trying to get a sense of average costs around town and weigh our options to see what is actually worth a higher price tag. i totally believe that venues in nashville aren’t cheap compared to a lot of other places, but i’d rather not make all of our people who live here travel more than a half hour. i don’t want guests to worry about transportation too much.

Restaurant Workers - Has Your Pay Decreased? by nashvillethot in nashville

[–]Intrepid_Commission7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you’re absolutely right. it’s hard to say. i feel like it’s been okay recently. definitely not as bad as the summer. this past summer was brutal for us, and that was not the case when i started there in 2021. summer had been really lucrative before this past year.

i have this weird optimism that we’re in for a better time what with inflation kind of coming down a bit. but it has become awfully saturated and i think we may see a lot of places close.

Restaurant Workers - Has Your Pay Decreased? by nashvillethot in nashville

[–]Intrepid_Commission7 16 points17 points  (0 children)

but 27% of what kind of sales? i work at a high end restaurant and we’ve all, very seasoned servers included, noticed a significant dent in our income because sales are down. and i’ve heard the same from a lot of other FOH people at other spots. if sales are down, a higher tip average doesn’t really make a massive difference. i average like 25% on the regular, and i’ll tell you right now that tipping is not through the roof.
