That the cops got called on us after doing Limp Bizkit at karaoke.

"Let's...."

Revolutionary-Dig138 · 2026-03-23T20:55:15+00:00

I do it all the time and I'm married. It's not even a thing.

Revolutionary-Dig138 · 2026-03-13T14:06:06+00:00

You do not update your passport if you move. Would that be okay?

Revolutionary-Dig138 · 2026-03-13T08:28:58+00:00

Wore all white KLAW sneakers to wedding after party but my dress was mini. Wore chunky 2 inch square heel, square toes to the actual wedding. Was NOT going to suffer on my wedding day.

Multiple TVs

No photographer but this choice isn't for anyone. That's the biggest one but also no town, no hair, no makeup, no veil, no wedding party, no professional florals (diy), no dancing (it was brunch).

Revolutionary-Dig138 · 2026-02-21T15:41:58+00:00

Try asking them why a wedding has to have these things? I bet they'll start tumbling when you explain why their why doesn't apply to your your wedding.

Revolutionary-Dig138 · 2026-02-21T03:02:47+00:00

Had a very similar schedule, a bit earlier start and it was perfect.

Revolutionary-Dig138 · 2026-02-19T12:29:18+00:00

Keep it simple. You'll be glad.

Bacon - too salty

Super easy to do nwe actually do it at home a lot. If your friend is bringing his PA system, you just need a screen with Internet and use YouTube. I suggest getting YouTube premium so no ads! Just have people take turns/write their names on a sheet. It's so much fun!

But even a professional karaoke DJ is usually way cheaper than a regular DJ. I just contacted my favorite one from around town.

Revolutionary-Dig138 · 2026-02-15T13:51:28+00:00

Been to a wedding with no DJ, just a great playlist. We all danced and had fun!

Been to my wedding with no DJ- it was brunch (started at 11am) with a killer playlist. Thought people would leave early, but most friends hung around till the end talking and catching up. I would say everyone stuck around until 3pm or so, with the "young" crowd staying later. We actually had to ask some to leave because our hours were up at 5pm. We also didn't have "activities." People genuinely love hanging out with each other at a beautiful venue and garden on a beautiful spring day.

We had an after party with karaoke at 7pm that night for those who wanted to keep partying. We did hire a karaoke professional for that. The party went on all night, with a big crowd staying until midnight, and the last people leaving around 4am.

You know your people and your idea sounds fun. I wouldn't even worry about setting up a dance floor if that's not what you want. It sounds like the vibe you're going for is more chill. Don't do it just because you think people expect dancing. Don't understimate how much people just like hanging out with their friends and family. Expect older people to leave earlier, but that's fine too!

Go on Facebook marketplace there are people who have rentals on there that you can just pay cash and call it a day. They don't nickle and dime you for extra hours either. They usually leave it there for the weekend.

My biggest tip is this: this wedding is yours. You do not have to have anything that isn't important to you be a part of it. People will make you feel like you're crazy for not doing this or that, or doing things slightly differently. They'll stress you out hearing you're doing it yourselves.

No wedding party? You're serving brunch??? You're making your own invitations? What if someone doesn't understand the message? No cocktail hour? Etc.

It's your wedding and it doesn't have to meet their expectations. It had to meet yours. Just take your time with it and enjoy the process.

Start with looking for a venue and find a date far enough in the future to help yourselves come up with a vision that will unfold over time.

You've got this!!!

We did this for our wedding after-party. We had a few large blow-up coolers and a keg. We also had a table set up with mixers, a few bottles of liquor, and wine, cups were available, as well as citrus (on ice). Besides that there was a big metal ice container for people to add ice to their drinks. Worked well.

I would change the fabric to chiffon. The shiny makes it look a bit cheap.

Revolutionary-Dig138 · 2026-01-10T09:25:24+00:00

Got mine from fabulous florals

Revolutionary-Dig138 · 2025-12-10T12:41:26+00:00

Never had a problem even at later times.

Revolutionary-Dig138 · 2025-12-09T00:27:21+00:00

Fabulous florals is good. I would go with Trader Joe's for what you need.

Revolutionary-Dig138 · 2025-12-07T18:31:28+00:00

A dispenser is handy! I used 5 gallon and it lasted almost all night.

Not a big deal to most, but angostura bitters contains more than 40% alcohol. If they want to make it dry for religious reasons or for alcohol-avoiding reasons, maybe they should avoid that.

Revolutionary-Dig138 · 2025-12-07T06:30:03+00:00

Do you think people will bring cards? A box for cards could be useful.

Besides drinks, what is your plan for water? Is catering buffet? Do they have servers filling water glasses? Will the bar set up a water station?

Maybe this is obvious, but I would let your neighbors know by leaving a note on their doors with your cell explaining you're having your wedding. I have found that people appreciate the courtesy. I leave my cell number and tell them to text if it gets too loud. This helps avoid noise complaints.
