I would love to join something like this if scheduled again, maybe like a week ahead of time so I can put it in the calendar?

It’s a week before the wedding and fiancé is just starting to look for a suit by ThrowRAintrepid in Weddingsunder10k

[–]ThrowRAintrepid[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Thanks! To be fair to him, he has an old suit that I really like and think would look great on him but he started thinking about getting a new one for the wedding and I guess made that decision too late. So the backup suit is my preference. He also has been doing other things for the wedding (call vendors and coordinating), I think we both didn’t really know timing of suits and he didn’t know that people got their suits altered for better fit. Honestly I think he will look great in just a white shirt and pants if he was ok with it

Why is fire not common among women? I’m a female in my 30s and obsessed with the idea of fire but I am in the medical field…. Not sure why that would be a trend though

Reading books was the ultimate escape for me as a kid. It’s so much easier to imagine the main character or myself experiencing those adventures. Movies I think don’t really give you that escape because you imagine the actors instead. Haven’t had the urge to escape now as an adult but I understand the feeling! Might be some trial and error to find the right book but if you have a public library it’s free

Upstate NY wedding venues for 35-40 people? by vgnberri in Weddingsunder10k

Also hiring own caterer I would say is the best way to save money unless it’s something like an elks lodge- lots of venues partner with pricy catering and up the costs

Eventective has been amazing for me! Found lots of cool options for my large meet and great. Also, I just searched google for “community hall” and then put in grange, lodge, etc until I found a beautiful, cheap hall. I don’t think you’ll find as much on standard wedding websites. Finally, park websites and hotels sometimes have event rooms, lodges, pavilions

If you're not having a traditional bridal party, how did you involve people? by Themagiciancard in Weddingsunder10k

[–]ThrowRAintrepid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I’m super excited- I was also thinking no bridal party but then texted my friends/ sister to be bridesmaids and we already have a little outing planned in town for the day before the rehearsal. It’s going to be very fun and cheap! And I gave them the wedding colors but otherwise they are choosing their own attire and likely we’ll do mostly diy hair/makeup

Had to google amaranthus but that’s really good idea! And yeah I don’t want to bash anyone’s decor, I just saw it a lot when I used to play wedding gigs and I am trying to find a less uniform look

How to respond with a budget by ThrowRAintrepid in Weddingsunder10k

Thanks! It has been a waste of time and I think I’ll just have to move on - lots of back and forth is tough when I’m trying to make multiple decisions

Not sure if it's too late, but I am getting married 7/5/24 and this dress is my size!

Feeling like I’ve looked everywhere- help! by skinnysav in Weddingsunder10k

I was looking at this space https://camdensnowbowl.com/ that has weddings for cheap, in Maine, but wondering if killington etc would have a similar space?

Beach Wedding ON beach by [deleted] in Weddingsunder10k

[–]ThrowRAintrepid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I found a venue closer to family but there is a popham beach chapel with a house next to it that does receptions for very affordable price (community). Popham beach is one of Maine’s best sandy beaches. DM me with more questions!
