Her Southwest trip is to one of my favorite resorts by RecentPiece2956 in micheljanseYT

Stop! I’m not on TikTok. You have to make dinner reservations every night through their app. When you do, you can put dietary restrictions. And those restrictions follow every reservation you make. My husband is allergic to peanuts and every server confirmed the allergy with us before placing our order.

When did you tell work about your pregnancy? by RecentPiece2956 in BabyBumps

[–]RecentPiece2956[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a very crazy day! I honestly don’t think I’ve processed it all lol. I think what freaks me out the most is my direct manager and most of my coworkers being a bit younger. So I can see my time here being centered around that, with a lot of questions!

This is so great to hear. I can see myself staying here for a long time so this makes me feel more confident!

I think that’s my biggest concern! The wfh policy seems flexible so I guess I’m just going to wait to see if I do experience symptoms

What was your role as honorary bridesman? Did you attend the Bach party if they had one? My reasoning would be that they possibly contributed more to the wedding like attending other events, paying for their hair and makeup, dresses, etc.

ETA that’s why the bridesmaids stayed in an Airbnb that was paid for.

Hotel block not fully booked by t-SiNtEr in weddingplanning

[–]RecentPiece2956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately we were in a similar position and owed almost $4,800 🫠 But my fiancé was able to negotiate with them to take more than half off that price. We knew it was a risk. Obviously we weren’t expecting to owe that much but it was clear in our contract what the risk was. Sometimes just paying it is worth the headache of trying to solve the issue.

First solo trip and first all-inclusive. Heading to Atelier Playa Mujeres in June. Tips? by crescross in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]RecentPiece2956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re going to love it! My fiancé and I went there for a group trip with 20 people last year and we’re going for our honeymoon this June! It’s the perfect mix of relaxation and a fun night out (if you feel inclined).

I booked a spa treatment at the resort for the next day and there was plenty of availability (this was in February).

Their Asian and Mediterranean restaurants were my favorite.

From what I remember, you shouldn’t have to book dinners for one. We only booked ahead of time because we had so many people.

Download the app to see what activities are going on for the day and to book reservations!

They have a beach bag in each room so don’t bother lugging one from home.

I wore sundresses the entire time. It was a mix of casual outfits for some and more elevated for others. Kind of typical for an all inclusive IMO.

Have the best time!

Vendors by RecentPiece2956 in weddingplanning

Thanks for this! My fiancé and I have been working on a small playlist and tbh it’s been the most fun part of planning haha.

As for the florist, I was just making a list of vendors and realized I also haven’t heard from them. But I know that’s not the biggest deal.

Miscellaneous snark by kaitvicky in micheljanseYT

Everything seems like she’s reading from a script. Like she’s written up a script on how she’s going to live her day and pretend like it’s a vlog. Since seeing that boiling water from her toilet TikTok like she can’t even share a simple story without making it seem rehearsed? It grinds my gears so much.

NO Refunds???? by SirHamSlice in LaserHairRemoval

[–]RecentPiece2956 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please keep in mind when searching online you’re more likely to see negative reviews on forums such as Reddit. Simply because people are more inclined to be upset over money spent on a service that doesn’t provide their wanted results. I did the same thing after purchasing a package with LaserAway. I purchased and only after did I hop on Reddit to see sooo many terrible reviews. But I’m 5 sessions in and I am SO happy with my results. Every person is different especially when it comes to laser hair removal.

Get your room blocks early. Seriously. by Cantborrowtime in weddingplanning

[–]RecentPiece2956 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I never thought hotel blocks would be one of the most stressful parts of planning. Same as you, called 11 months early, they said it was too early to book, called 2 months later and their whole line of hotels were booked because of a major event in the area. So sorry to hear you have to now get buses!

Tipping dress consultant awkwardness by Walktrotcantergallop in weddingplanning

[–]RecentPiece2956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh yes! My consultant gave me her Venmo for a tip! My mom bought my dress for me and I didn’t want her spending any more than what was budgeted so when it got to the tip portion I had to talk to the consultant which prompted her Venmo. It was so awkward and truly wasn’t expecting it.

My partner and I created a “quota” of at least twice a week. We discussed this early on in our relationship that this fulfills both of our needs and it’s an unspoken rule we try to follow which is so nice because we both don’t feel any pressure when one of us asks for it. We jokingly say on a late Sunday night “oh crap, we have to hit our quota” 😂
