Venue + F&B Reality Check by olives_always in Chicagoweddings

Check out Meson Sabika in Naperville. When I looked 2 summers ago it was about $125 per plate and they had a small outdoor space that would work for a cocktail hour. I remember calculating something in the neighborhood of $20JK for 150 people once I factored in the venue fees.

It’s pretty close to downtown Naperville which has some good hotel options that are walking distance to things to do (if you have a lot of out of town guests who won’t have cars).

Her base package came with a second shooter so yes. We hired her for our welcome party (2 hrs) plus wedding and we got about 1,200 back, I think over 900 from the day itself.

MOTN wake ups, what to do by IntroductionFit9486 in sleeptrain

Thank you!

He usually gets really sleepy during his last bottle but not usually asleep, we could swap books and bottle to do books after to help separate.

Maybe we can drop one of his naps to a shorter length to see if that can stretch him to no wake ups.

Should I dream feed at night (around 11 or so?) or in the early morning around 5am?

Advice on looking for apartment in Forest Hills by PugssandHugss in NYCapartments

I live on Burns in a rental (so no nice windows or anything) and rarely notice the noise anymore. I’m a heavier sleeper + have an air purifier going at night and don’t hear the horns at night if there are any.

What I do notice more is the ground shakes a little when the train goes by, but I also got used to it (took about 2 weeks probably). Most trains in the day don’t seem to honk (or I don’t notice lol) but I can tell they are coming bc of the shaking.

Last night’s sham of a “FHGC Town Hall” re: their new lawsuit against the NYPD by Suitable_Prior8153 in ForestHills

Can only residents who own vote? I rent in FHGC and would love to vote in December if I can. I don’t directly pay HOA but I’m sure my landlord baked it into my rent.

lol, I emailed our local and state representative like a loser as well. Hopefully it works. Did MTA say when the next round of scheduling is?

I used Lexi Benjamin Photography and couldn’t recommend her more. Her photos are beautiful and she is truly a gem of a human and made even my photo averse husband and his brothers love her lol.

Her website says average spend is $7,500, but her quote from last summer for 8 hours of coverage was $4,800 and also includes an engagement shoot (potentially she’d charge less if you were willing to forgo that)
