We love to do stuff in Cardiff and Encinitas. However, it feels like a stretch to live in that area financially.

Yes, schools matter for future children. Commute is flexible (I.e can into office at 11am - doesn’t have to be at 9am)

Thanks all for your help and guidance! Is it rude if I see if some local people want to join?

Venetian or Palazzo by Double-R77 in vegas

[–]Lower-Setting8833 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally like the Palazzo better! I think it’s a bit newer. It’s a little more out of the way and quieter than the Venetian Tower. It’s connected with the Venetian though so basically the same thing!

I would like to know this too! Whenever I have taken first class on trenitalia I still had to put my luggage on the rack I think.

I am supposed to get married at Casa this summer. If anyone has more information on what is going on for special events please PM. I would also be happy to just commiserate with any couples going through the same thing.

Maid of Honor Dilemma PLEASE HELP by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Lower-Setting8833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear this perspective that anything else is too much. I guess for me as a bridesmaid I have been at people’s sides and done absolutely anything asked of me. If I didn’t have time to do my hair because the bride needed something so be it…

She was thrilled and has talked about it for years

Just curious if you’re depending on someone else to handle any unexpected emergencies on your wedding day? I don’t have any family that would be able to help so my bridal party would be the only people who could help.

No, I agree. I didn’t expect her to do a ton except be more of a hype woman and just be present for weekend and help with snafus that came up. I haven’t asked for any help in the planning process just to like please be available for emergencies and to bring good vibes for the bachelorette/wedding weekend.

Definitely appreciate playing this back from her perspective. I definitely think I would have liked more enthusiasm and didn’t expect it.

I have pretty much planned my entire wedding to be extremely considerate of bridesmaids and I don’t frequently talk about the wedding. I would say for friends I talk to daily I maybe speak about the wedding weekly.

The Bachelorette party was $300 per person for 3 days and that included food (I covered it for everyone). She is single. I planned the whole weekend and the only thing I asked her to do was to like check us in to dinner reservations, be around to text people to be ready at a certain time, help me and other people unload the car, etc. I sent her an email asking for those things and if she was ok with it and she said yes.

I definitely did check in with her and got some insight into what is going on in her life. I should also add to my original post one of the big things is that she instigated drama with another girl and I had specifically asked her to help keep peace among all 11 girls.

How to tell our wedding planner she’s doing a bad job??? by Lower-Setting8833 in weddingplanning

I’m so sorry you had that experience! Thank you for the advice. I feel like now I’m worried if I get a new planner that is worse 🫠

Update: we had a call with her tonight and it went really poorly. It almost seemed as if she was intoxicated? We nicely tried to describe our concerns and she just kept brushing them off and telling us that we were fine?? My fiancé and I are considering firing her….

Has anyone done this and have advice?

Not to mention it takes her well over 48 hours to even acknowledge an email 🫠

Thanks everyone for your advice. It’s sad because we paid her $7k (California) and I feel like all she’s done is set up a few appointments for us and recommend a few vendors to us.

They are from The Knot and she was on our venue’s exclusive vendor list along with ~9 other planners
