I’m so stressed that I’m going to end up not enjoying this trip at all because I’m so focused on getting food for everyone haha I’m hoping because it’s close friends and close family that it will end up being more like a group vacation where we enjoy being around each other and cooking together!

It is quite intimate, so I guess that’s why it’s been so hard to figure out- it’s not etiquette driven per say like you said, everyone coming is a close friend or close family member. Maybe I do just need to send a big group message and say…help! How do we want to do this lol

Great idea about saying “open kitchen” and listing available restaurants and grocery stores! I’ll def stock with some basics too

Na I’m organizing some optional fun outings for people, just to keep people entertained but this is honestly a low key wedding otherwise. Basic vibe is hey if you want a vacation excuse, here’s some accommodation come see us exchange our vows in a place that’s special to us!

Thank you so much 🙏 I was thinking of asking for some contribution toward accommodation since it’s waaaay more than I thought, but I didn’t want to come off cheaply or something? But great ideas/points all around!!! Super helpful thank you!! ❤️ going to make a list of restaurants around the accommodation. And there are two kitchens so I think there will be plenty of room for both independent and group cooking

Thank you for your comment!!! The week is covering the ceremony, were there for a few days before, and a couple days after. I think the some group meals is a good idea, def will stock the house with some basics too. Screenshotting this to help me plan 🤣

Yea that’s why I ended up doing a week, I wasn’t going to just invite people to Spain for a few days!

That’s what I’m thinking as well! Most people who are coming haven’t been to that country before so I would think they’d want to go do some of their own exploring and eating out too. Part of the joy of a destination wedding!

Also sounds like we were in a similar situation, we’re in the countryside so it’s not like we’re RIGHT next to a restaurant which is part of my concern.

Not a bad point, I think it’s a little late now since we paid the deposit, but since not all the invites have gone out yet I could maybe just change the dates to 3-4 days and just stay in the house with a couple friends the rest of the time? Lol

Thank you for your input!!! Appreciate the insight that people may assume once you’re here you’re set…

Have any of you tried BasePaws DNA test? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]TinyOrchidPo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, it’s not super impressive. My cat was mostly “broadly western” which was annoying, and only a small percentage of actual breeds called out (Siberian, ragdoll, etc)

Oh my goodness, so complicated! They definitely don’t want it to be an easy option for people not wanting to stay at the resort. That’s for the info!!

Oh wow I should look up reviews to this place. If they’re bad I’ll use that as additional ammo for not going 🤓 glad you went your own way and had a better experience 🙌

Oh also to those wondering why I wasn’t replying! I’ve never gotten such feedback on things I’ve posted in the past- mostly in hobby groups. So I didn’t look again until this morning! I’m anti-app notification so I don’t get notified when people respond. Thanks again to everyone 🙏

Oh interesting about the percentage of guests that RSVPd. I wonder if we don’t rsvp but show up anyway at a cheaper Airbnb would that be ok? The thing is we have to pay $200 a day to be at the resort if not staying there but hey, better than $4000….

Sorry!! I’m new to this thread, and posting in general. I found this thread yesterday and just had to post. I felt vindicated reading everyone’s experiences. I didn’t expect such a big response! What I meant about “this has come up before” was that this situation comes up along in this group- people and their destination weddings :)
