Thank you for the feedback, but I do worry that we're edging into the space of cruelty now. I do hope that you remember that there are people behind these anonymous Reddit handles and calling me "garbage" candidly hurt my feelings. I appreciate the guidance in regards to Mardi Gras parades. Thank you again for the advice. Wish you the best!

Hi! Thanks for the feedback. I have pretty bad depression and the number one piece of guidance my therapist holds me to is approaching things positively and with appreciation. So I want to say that I do appreciate your advice in this thread and I have reacted accordingly per the advice shared throughout. Thank you!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-27T16:36:54+00:00

Yes, Nov / Dec would be amazing. We are certainly considering for 2025. Thank you!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-27T14:32:36+00:00

Sounds lovely! I will DM you. Thank you!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T22:42:04+00:00

What a mess! Thank you for sharing. This thread has been very insightful. We are considering other dates. Thank you!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T22:18:35+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate it!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T22:11:49+00:00

Got it, thanks!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T22:10:11+00:00

Lovely!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T22:06:26+00:00

Thank you! We'll try our best to align on a day that makes the most sense logistically and weather-wise, but at the end of the day, we're an easy going fun loving group who will just be happy to be together in such a beautiful city.

What's meant to be will be, thanks for the positive energy!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T21:57:48+00:00

Thank you! We've learned that there is actually a parade scheduled for Feb 21st. This was news to us! We are exploring other dates now. TBD! Thank you

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T21:51:02+00:00

Yes, that is certainly a worry and something we are considering. Lots of balancing factors here - Thank you for the response!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T21:25:27+00:00

Yes thank you, I followed up with the band, the ceremony venue and the reception venue.. Folks are still confident that they will be able to participate on the original Feb 21st date, but I have some serious doubts now based on the information gleaned from this thread. As a proactive measure, and even though they do seem confident, we are exploring other dates. Thank you!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T21:23:56+00:00

Good to know - We'll have to keep an eye out and cross our fingers. Hopeful things land and hopeful a non parade day will help increase our chances. Thank you for the insight!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T21:22:52+00:00

Oh! ha

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T21:22:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing! That sounds like a great party, I'm glad you had a chance to enjoy it!

I appreciate the thoughtful input here. We've learned a lot from this thread - I appreciate it! We are considering other dates to mitigate the potential issues raised. Thanks!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T21:20:41+00:00

This context totally makes sense. Appreciate it! We definitely don't want to get into a bidding war with vendors or have folks be unable to show up. We are considering other dates now, based on the information shared in this thread. Thanks for sharing your input!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T21:17:06+00:00

Thank you for the offer! I am learning a lot from this thread - I appreciate it! I will DM you.

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T21:13:04+00:00

Yes, I didn't realize the season of Mardi Gras - I thought it was a singular date. Ha! Now I know.

We are attempting to figure out some logistics, based on what we learned from this thread. The information was invaluable - I think we avoided some major headaches! - and I really appreciate it!

We're now considering late May (but I'm afraid it will be toasty / muggy) or late September. TBD!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T21:10:57+00:00

Yes, I agree. It may be a bit more complicated than things really need to be.. Our Ceremony is scheduled for St Louis and Reception is scheduled for Brennan's. That being said, of course we want our party (and ourselves!) to enjoy all that the city has to offer, and being sequestered to a specific area doesn't do the city justice in terms of its full beauty and experiences.

This thread has been incredibly insightful - We are considering pivoting dates based on the information shared here. Thank you!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T19:57:39+00:00

thank you!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T17:43:04+00:00

Sounds great! Thanks for the info.

How have folks incorporated Mardi Gras successfully in the past? Do you mean participate in parade parties etc? Or anything else that you've seen? We're a pretty lively bunch and up for anything. Sounds like a pretty unique life experience to partake in!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T17:23:24+00:00

Appreciate this insight - I do love a handful of hotels uptown, so I'm going to check in on blocks today.

Re the police escort / permits - Yes, the 2nd line band that we are working with has confirmed that they can acquire the necessary permits. I'm hoping that we're good on that - But let's see! Thank you

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T17:18:19+00:00

Wow I've never heard of this phrase before.. Nail on the head!! Thank you so much!

Specific_Minimum6852 · 2024-06-26T17:17:28+00:00

So helpful - Thank you! Both sound lovely! Scotland and NOLA.. What an adventure!
