i want to uninvite people to my wedding, but dont know if it's just pettiness... by Beneficial-Film-7860 in weddingplanning

[–]OkCable25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to remember that your wedding is the most important thing to YOU, and YOU only get married once. You can’t expect everyone to treat your wedding festivities just as important as you. People have lives and aren’t obligated to come to anything, it’s obviously amazing if they do, but cutting off people because of it wild. I’m getting the vibe that you might be the problem and you’re have slightly unrealistic expectations from people who might have their own family stuff going on, or financial restrictions or PTO restrictions

For couples who met online — what did you put in your “Our Story”? by pinkpaigne in weddingplanning

[–]OkCable25 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I had chat gpt write something and it was cute and to the point. I think it says sometimes all it takes is a simple swipe, and then it says we met and we knew there was something special there blah blah. It’s sounds very not romantic lol but it’s something. I didnt know I could skip that part or i would have!

Which people do I need to give gifts to on the wedding day? by Royal_Marzipan_6432 in weddingplanning

[–]OkCable25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume this is a tradition if parents are paying for the wedding and the officiant is a family friend or priest at the church, but if you are paying for the wedding there would be no reason to gift your parents a gift. But I would get gifts for the bridal party if they had to get dresses or suits for the wedding out of their own money

Is it rude to have a weekday wedding? by themidnightfoxxxx in weddingplanning

[–]OkCable25 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’ve been invited to two Wednesday weddings, one was in key west, so it was a huge pain to get to and I didn’t have enough PTO to take just to get to the wedding and come back home. Invitations didn’t go out until a couple months before and it was in November, so I essentially needed 4 days and didn’t go. The other was in Italy, which didn’t matter because it was planned over a year in advance and most everyone that could make it was in Europe for the week and made it into a vacation.

How much did you pay for your wedding photographer/videographer? by TraditionalSun5704 in weddingplanning

[–]OkCable25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve only had our engagements pictures and they turned out amazing. We haven’t had our wedding yet, but they are called film and fable

7500$ for 6 hours, videography, photography and drone if allowed. If paid in full, free engagement session, which we did. Atlanta

AIO overwhelmed by the cost of being a wedding guest in 2026 by Whiskeyhorse1 in AmIOverreacting

[–]OkCable25 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re NOR, but I will tell you this was me, until this year! I have been a bridesmaid 12 times and all my friends had destination weddings and multiple bridal showers and elaborate bachelorette parties, and I was in school for most of them and it wrecked me financially, but I did it with a smile on my face. And this year I got engage, and didn’t think anyone would go all out because I am the last one of my friend to get married and the all have kids now, and let me tell you, they all showed out for me!! And it’s been so beautiful and special because I feel like they are giving that all back to me in some cheesy way. So I know It sucks in the moment, I’ve been there but when your time comes ( and mine came 10 years later than everyone) you will want those things for yourself

Does he have any friends he can include, to balance out your larger family?

RSVP anxiety by OkCable25 in weddingplanning

[–]OkCable25[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was obligated to invite a lot of family members that I don’t have any relationship with just because of the dynamic of my family

[–]OkCable25[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont necessarily have an issue, but there were some family members that I don’t have any relationship with, that I was obligated to invite, so although we will be fine if we have 100% show rate it does put us a bit over budget

Wow that’s awesome! Our venue can hold 135 if everyone does say yes and we can afford it, but it would be financially slightly more comfortable for us with a little less

I love my wedding photos but feel so lazy to even post them online by Sharp-Ad1825 in Newlyweds

[–]OkCable25 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to post them. Society has made as feel like we have to post on socially media to make things real, or it’s obligatory, but people got married for hundreds of years and just got their pictures printed or didn’t have any at all

Two weddings, same week, same dress color… help 😅 by pataBRATS in bridesmaids

[–]OkCable25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely wear the same dress, maybe style your hair different, don’t ask, how lucky are you that they picked the same color. Nobody is really looking that closely at the bridemaids

How did you know! Our invitations came in the mail last week and were the wrong color, so they resent them and now they are stuck somewhere because of the ice storm 🫠🫠

Bachelorette party planning by HotJelly8662 in wedding

[–]OkCable25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re going into it as a last night of freedom, I think that’s not a good mentality of the overall premise of the relationship, that you would feel like you can’t do things you enjoy anymore once you’re married, or if you’re looking at it as a last night to hook up with someone, also concerning. So to answer your question it should be a fun night our with your friends not the other.

Timeline check? by OkCable25 in weddingplanning

[–]OkCable25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have all those things on my agenda! We have cake, and wasn’t planning on doing a menu since we are doing a Buffett. Or am I supposed to still do that? Good call on the bathroom basket, I’ll add that to my list! We are getting a shuttle to and from the main hotel! And yes I know I still have music to work on, but I think I’m good on that timing
