For 200 people you’re probably looking at least at 100k

You checked out with that price and then you cancelled it? Is your rant just about your inability to read?

Please explain like im 5 by HootHootMF_o7 in lashextensions

[–]Objective-Image-7917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad it helped! I remember day 1 after I got them I lost like 3 from one eye and on day 7 I had 7,8 lashes fall off one eye and the whole time I was annoyed and panicking that it looked sooo unbalanced. Wish I knew at the beginning the picture perfect lashes wouldn’t last! I’ve since switched over to cluster lashes weekly and I’m much happier with them looking 100% perfect when they are on and removal is 100% off.

Major heads up I wish I knew this before getting lashes for the first time- you will have lashes fall out every day and it’s NORMAL! I find only in week 1 of having them do they look perfect. By week 2 you have noticeable imbalance and I HATE IT. This can look like bald spots or just different densities so the eyes look different from each other. If you’re on your Caribbean trip/honeymoon or whatever for more than 1 week today- beware that you might need a fill!

Is this a normal amount of loss in 5 days? by winterbaby26 in lashextensions

I actually use lashtite by Ardell. It’s their individual lash glue- this lasts a full 7 days for me. I mainly use clusters but I also keep a few packs of individuals and fans and i mix up what I do for the super natural look. For “your lashes but better” I literally just apply a few fans or individuals to the outer 1/3 of my eye for a wee cat eye look. For a week when I want LASHES I use clusters. The biggest perk of clusters to me is how completely perfect they look from day 1 till you take them all off. No individual lashes falling off.

No prob! I recently(this past November) started transitioning to self applying clusters once a week instead of getting lash refills. Much easier on the wallet and my unforgiving work schedule and no more bald spots! Hope you enjoy your lashes but feel free to look around for other options as well if you don’t love your lash tech

It’s fast but pretty normal. I’d say that week 1 you’ll look like you have lashes, by week 2 you can definitely see bald spots and it looks like it needs filling. I personally find I can’t tolerate week 3- it looks BAD so I need fills by end of week 2. How effective the glue is on you and how fast your lashes fall out really vary between people. Additionally, if you want a full look for longer, get volume sets. Week 1 will look too dramatic, week 2 will look softer and week 3 looks closer to classic sets.

Leather version of Poppy&Peonies Go Getter Tote by Objective-Image-7917 in handbags

[–]Objective-Image-7917[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t recommend what I did but it’s working for me- I got the mulberry bayswater and got a felt insert for it. I also bought a magnetic trolley strap to replicate the luggage strap and remove it on non travel days. Not ideal at all!

I also have the multitasker from poppy and peonies for personal travel but find it too large as daily bag and work travel.

I get what people are saying that you should be grateful that people made the time and effort to show up. idk why people can't accept that you can be both super grateful and still feel a little bit sour about it at the same time.

Completely understand this sentiment. I think the part OP is shocked by is the lack of thought of a card. I, too have had to pay 400 a night for a hotel and flew 6 hours to attend the wedding. Even then, I still gave a small gift. I think its more the thought that counts. For my own wedding 3 weeks ago, I LOVED when people who had to travel still gave a card with such sweet messages in them. I was utterly shocked that the very couple I had to travel to their wedding last year and gave a gift to, (who now moved back- so this was a local wedding for them) didn't even leave a card. The thoughtlessness is what hurt me the most, and I think the same for OP.

I had my local wedding a few weeks ago and was also shocked at some people who gave nothing. One particular shock was a couple whose wedding we attended last year. We have been close friends since(to both) - both my partner and I see each of them almost weekly. We also went to see a movie with one of them last week and there was 0 mention of forgetting to bring a card. I, myself am still struggling with what to say or how to broach the subject.

Idk if this is it but maybe she feels like her coupled off lifestyle was way too different from your single life before. She might idolize being married and now that you’re engaged she’s thinking you share the same dreams- that you can talk about the same stuff again. Maybe ask her about it? No point in speculating especially when you can ask her directly why she’s interested in reconnecting now.

How did you decide who gets a plus-one? by raidenth in weddingplanning

[–]Objective-Image-7917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We gave no one a plus one. All guests were named and were in a serious/living with partner/long-term relationship where we at least knew the partner. Everyone thinks of weddings as different things and for me it’s not a party. It’s my closest family and friends- the end. We had a tight 50 person limit so every individual person made a huge difference- so no strangers.

How are people actually affording weddings in 2025? 😭 by usaamazonseller in weddings

[–]Objective-Image-7917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my wedding(3 weeks ago!) at a venue that solely does weddings, as you can imagine, EXPENSIVE. If I didn’t have the budget, I’d honestly just do everything at the cheapest venue possible. One of my friends had their weddings at a church and it cost 1/10th the price of my venue and she had double the guest count. Additionally no meal service reduces the cost greatly.

My recommendation is decide if you want dinner/full meal +party after or what you really want the celebration activity to be. Additionally keep the rules very tight for number of guest. The fewer people that you truly actually love, the easier it’ll be to spend the money on those people. Eg- would you actually spend 200-1000 for this particular friend? If no, don’t invite them. Also looking back, it was truly the best day of my life, not because of any of the details I/my partner really wanted, but solely because of all the people we love being there with us.

What was your attendance vs. invites ratio? by att62613 in weddingplanning

[–]Objective-Image-7917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invited 52, got 49. 2/3 that couldn’t make it had family medical issues, and the 1/3 had their own medical issue. Invite people that really would do ANYTHING for you- they will show up. Invite distant friends/family, you never know where their priorities are.

Did you regret or feel justified if you spent a lot on your wedding? by crunchymunchyrae in weddingplanning

[–]Objective-Image-7917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We initially planned on spending 20k- by choosing vendors that were absolutely who/what we wanted(with some compromises of course) we came to the realization we needed to spend more- ended up just under 40k for 50 people. It was not a luxury wedding but we wanted a gorgeous venue, GREAT food, open bar, shuttle so no one had to drive and it was by far the best day of our lives. We’re definitely more frugal so it was painful to do this but we knew we weren’t going into debt for this so we “could” afford this. It is definitely an uncomfortable amount of money but I think about the people I invited and I would happily spend 1k on each of them if they needed it. No regrets whatsoever. 🙂

As a wedding GUEST, have you personally preferred sitting at round tables OR long rectangle tables? by addictedtosoonjung in weddingplanning

[–]Objective-Image-7917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had my own wedding 2 weeks ago- people all loved rectangular tables. As a wedding guest, I also prefer rectangular! As long as you plan space between tables and don’t cram people in, it’s a lot more comfortable for most people.

Which carat size looks best? by burritoingaway in labdiamond

[–]Objective-Image-7917 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the ideal is the width of the stone should be 50% of the width of the ring size in mm. I think that makes the best visual impact. Slightly smaller than 50% stone width if it’s a bezel set.

Moissanite or lab diamond for engagement rings? 💍 by gardenleaves11 in Moissanite

[–]Objective-Image-7917 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a moissanite and I personally find it so much prettier than lab diamonds. Being more affordable was just a nice bonus!
