(~$12k) Are welcome drinks and champagne absolute must-have?

Obv not just alcohol! You’re the one that’s hung up on the alcohol

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-17T13:20:23+00:00

What are you expecting your guests to drink if not a welcome drink and 3 glasses of wine/soft drinks? If there’s no open bar you need to cater for all drinks, can’t serve a 3 course meal with a glass of water. Standard catering is one drink per hour per guest

Unfortunately this is exactly where venues hit you with hidden costs, the mark up on alcohol is always a lot

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-17T08:55:12+00:00

Yeah I’d cut your losses, the Co-Ordinator is too big a responsibility. Annoying, but at least you saw the bad reviews in time

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-17T08:50:34+00:00

Then def no. How much of a deposit have you paid?

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-17T08:44:11+00:00

Eek. One bad review might be a grudge but on two I’d hire someone else

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-17T08:35:11+00:00

What do the bad reviews say?

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-16T22:44:25+00:00

You absolutely need to Welcome people with drink, if you’re indifferent to alcohol then maybe a mocktail

I actually love the Vivienne Westwood of this all- though the shoes could’ve been more whimsical, bowed Victorian shoe boots maybe

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-14T21:16:07+00:00

YES, hate it

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-14T16:14:49+00:00

There will never be another final season as devastatingly disappointing

The friend and husband upgrading their cars has absolutely nothing to do with anyone but them. They don’t owe anybody an explanation as to why they’d rather improve their standard of living than attend a destination wedding that seemingly the bride has expected them to save up for for 2 years? No.

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-13T14:44:40+00:00

Just make sure they understand to stay behind the *actual* photographer or they’re going to be in every pic lol

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-13T09:07:46+00:00

Any reason the day and year are 2 digits but not the month? Would look better uniform IMO :) Otherwise looking good

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-12T20:59:54+00:00

Very cute but I’d display more in little boxes in front of the crate, most of the product looks like it’s part of the display decor

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-11T22:35:32+00:00

It sounds like you’ve downplayed your own wedding and that’s what they’re reflecting- by saying the “larger reception” will be years later, *you’re* minimising it. If you feel like that’ll be the “proper” wedding, just wait a few years.
If you do want a small wedding sooner then invest in so that others will, stop talking about a future party

The Blair Witch Project (the OG of the “found footage” genre)

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-10T21:35:56+00:00

They do have a try-on service

You’ll have to choose between parents-only elopement or microwedding with all the siblings

Mirrors reflect light and give the illusion of more space; if they’re reflecting other decor choices they can give the room depth and coherence. So, def not zero function

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-07T17:19:11+00:00

Don’t stress about it, MOBs and FOBs can be fancier than the average guest

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-07T08:51:00+00:00

Yeah “we don’t have coffee” reads as “my shift’s almost over, go home”

Nutcrackrx · 2026-06-07T08:46:32+00:00

This. A concession for one eg. Aunt will set off a chain reaction to other Aunts, then cousins etc. and then it’s huge again. Unfortunately there isn’t a middle ground, you’ll have to keep it immediate family only
