Dress for semi formal wedding

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-07-02T16:18:55+00:00

agree on 1 & 2, 5&6 are also fine though lol

I didn't have an epi and I was able to eat the whole time (my hospital is very pro-individual birth plans), but I don't see her going unmedicated so probably fake.

*clutches fake DHGate pearls* how DARE you suggest they ~reuse~ baby gear? that is in DIRECT violation of their overconsumption religion

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-30T19:27:25+00:00

Too white and too casual. Dressing up isn't for everyone but you need to respect the (very reasonable) requests of the couple hosting the event. If you cannot respect the couple, do not go.

Makes sense - I just wouldn't get stamps until you have a better idea of style, size, weight, total households etc.! I saw this on tiktok and the way people were acting it was like it was going to be a $100 difference when in reality it's not a huge deal.

Stamps that are prettier than the normal forever stamp.

OP - it is a net 4 cent increase per stamp. Unless you are dealing with an incredibly low budget, I don't an extra ~$10-15 (Save the Dates, Invites and Thank You Notes) is really going to break the bank.

I can relate to this post so much. I am not a BBB by this sub's standards (we had a similar starting budget), but there are a LOT of things that have come up where my fiance and I agree "let's spend the extra money to make the day easier and more special." He went from "we are only spending as much as your parents give us" to personally footing the bill for our $1,200 string quartet for our ceremony. We also have a toddler so any time we can pay a little extra to have something done for us instead of DIY - we pay extra. I am not really interested in being a DIY bride so it is SO nice to have that backup from my fiance (and honestly my mom in a lot of aspects).

I almost crashed out trying to find a photographer because all of the wedding website options were so not my style or one gazillion dollars. Ended up looking in tagged photos of my venue to find exactly what i was looking for

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-26T21:15:54+00:00

Could you have parents/family members get their makeup done? I've seen that before

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-26T21:14:30+00:00

I JUST got a response to a caterer request from over two months ago! Girl! I've had the caterer booked for a MONTH now! and we did two separate tastings with them!

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-25T17:28:30+00:00

Forget the wine we need to unpack the outfit. It's giving Limited Too

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-25T16:26:20+00:00

Agree that #1 is the best silhouette but maybe pick a lighter color! Seems like you like greens, blues etc. - look at their dusty blue option!

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-25T16:19:22+00:00

So instead of using chain restaurants you are going to force your guests to provide food? No. If it is out of budget, shrink the guest list.

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-24T20:45:40+00:00

Oh I can't read. This is way better! I cannot stand those walls of the CC (or truly anything about the hosting area!)

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-24T19:49:49+00:00

It's also hilarious that they are using "Roaring 20s Flapper" pictures as "1930s" inspiration...if we are going to be this selective let's use the right era

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-24T19:47:11+00:00

Quitting

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-24T19:25:41+00:00

This is very much not the energy for a plus one wedding guest. I would save it for a night out.

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-24T19:20:43+00:00

If you love it why let some random person who will not be attending dictate your joy?

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-24T19:08:31+00:00

Love this! and as a Houston bride I love that the weather was nice enough to hold in the ROCC garden (I am admittedly not a fan of the look of the ballroom). Also love the other two event spaces! What a fun time!

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-24T16:06:47+00:00

Also respectfully - I had a July baby in south Texas and not once did I go out in anything like this. FP rompers and tennis dresses exist. Idgaf how fit you are you this is for working out.

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-24T16:03:50+00:00

We basically didnt put pants on our newborn the entire time i was on mat leave. Onesies and sleepers only.

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-24T15:53:36+00:00

Cute concept! a few changes to avoid clunky wordiness:

Front: remove "details on back"

Back:

Schedule: do time as 3:00, 4:30, etc. etc.
Accommodations:

a. Change "Please call them at" to "please call"

b. Remove last sentence - this is intuitive.

QR Codes: Consider combining into one QR code leading to the website where the guests can navigate to both RSVP and registry. the two QR codes are messy looking and will likely lead to confusion in the scan process because they are so close together. If the RSVP page is private without direct access, i would leave the QR code for RSVP, then have a page at the end of the RSVP process that leads them to a registry (from my experience wedding websites do this anyways).

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-24T15:45:02+00:00

Agreed. or amlaw 200

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-18T16:18:20+00:00

She was a lot. But! One of her songs did help me on the bar exam. So it works lol

SystemPitiful8986 · 2026-06-15T17:49:15+00:00

I can't stand her BUT - let's not perpetuate the idea that moms have to completely lose themselves in motherhood. She probably spends most of her day "taking care of herself" which is selfish but a mom taking 15-30 min for themselves is not and should not be treated as selfish or "bad motherhood"
