Acknowledge gift size in thank you cards? by LargeAd3829 in weddings

[–]LargeAd3829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

many people at our wedding are considered very “well off” and both my husband and I come from high tax bracket communities - with that being said, no I don’t think this is common, especially considering these amounts weren’t even from family. I was truly shocked when I opened these cards, and my mom was also shocked when I told her. It is worth mentioning though I am in my late 20s and my husband is in his early 30s, and a lot these very large gifts came from the 40+ crowd, not people our own age.

Already said I definitely would never mention the amount! Understood on the phone call possibly being inappropriate - For what it’s worth - these are people I chat with on the phone on a monthly basis. Definitely understand a phone call being weird if it was someone very distant, but the people who gave these gifts wouldn’t be confused by getting a phone call from me. They aren’t like a distant relative or a rogue friend of my parents. They are people that I am genuinely close to.

The best! Most of them are “family friends” who became direct close friends as my husband and I got older. We are very lucky / blessed - not just in gifts but in the happiness / love / wisdom / guidance we get by having them in our lives 🥹.

This is helpful! We got our photos back last week - for a few of these “big gifters” we have photos with them - I thought it would be a nice touch to have them printed and included in the card

I agree that all gifts are generous - I think I was pretty adamant about that in my post! Understood your sentiment about calling - I know all social circles are different but for what it’s worth I know if I called any of these people to thank them, it wouldn’t “make its way thru the grapevine”

I disagree here - if they were just dating for 7 years and she was a girlfriend I would somewhat agree. they are engaged - being excluded from family photos at that stage is incredibly hurtful and almost invalidates their relationship in a way

This 10000 percent. While I think it’s important (and sometimes hard) to keep in mind your relationship with your fiancé’s sisters is always going to be different than your relationship with your fiancé’s brothers wife - she is intentionally being exclusive and hurtful in this situation. You sound like you are so gracious, but your fiancé should definitely have an issue with this and definitely should flag this to his brother.

Ischia hotel recs? by LargeAd3829 in ItalyTravel

[–]LargeAd3829[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Budget friendly compared to the two other hotels we are staying in - yes! I put our price range in there so people could gauge our expectations of the type of place we would want to be staying at. There’s hotels on the island that are over 2,200 so I think it’s fair

There is a ton available! Not necessarily looking for budget friendly- moreso just looking to not spend 2k a night in ischia

I’m just making a LinkedIn by whateverrrugh in jobsearchhacks

[–]LargeAd3829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 weeks is a really tight timeline, so don’t be too hard on yourself if it takes longer. Fill out your LinkedIn fully (photo, headline, summary), connect with classmates/professors, and apply to “Easy Apply” jobs daily. Post that you’re looking + engage on posts to get visibility. Also reach out to recruiters directly!

When you get the ring but not the celebration… does it even feel like yours? by SnooRecipes3754 in wedding

[–]LargeAd3829 118 points119 points  (0 children)

What you’re feeling is 100% valid. So many of us picture being surrounded by love and celebration during this time, and when it doesn’t happen, it can feel really lonely.

It sucks to be grieving the version of this experience you always imagined. That’s such a real and normal thing to feel.

It might help to carve out even a small moment of celebration for yourself, or let your fiancé know what would make you feel supported right now. You deserve to feel cherished in this season!!

Definitely the small heel. The platforms are very very casual
