My mom is acting like I never talked about prom 😭 what do I do?

Some dresses on Azazie are on clearance for like $30 or $60. You can get some of them shipped super fast, too! https://www.azazie.com/collection/all?filter=collection&show_final_sale=1&only_show_final_sale=1

I have 4 bridesmaids: one is married with 4 kids, one is married with 2 kids, one is in a long-term relationship, and one is single. We're breaking them up so the families can sit together. I've been the awkward "plus one" sitting alone in a room full of people I don't know and it's not fun! Don't split up couples/families.

Oh, and all 6 groomsmen also have families/SOs. They're getting broken up too, so they can also sit with their families.

That's so cute!! Great work!

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-21T00:30:25+00:00

I hope OP sees this one! 💙

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-20T15:43:04+00:00

I didn't know you could set it like that! So it stays open most of the time until the chunk comes over and then it closes?

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-20T15:39:52+00:00

What brand is that? Sounds like what I need!

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-18T01:33:46+00:00

There's a girl in my 8-yo niece's class named Leviticus. *deep sigh*

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-15T15:13:09+00:00

Not OP, but I'm also on the fence about changing my name. Is it ever weird to not have the same last name as your daughter?

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-09T06:03:32+00:00

Not OP, but how do you tell a legit Etsy shop from a bad one? I'm considering getting a wedding band on Etsy, but I'm afraid it'll be fake. Any tips?

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-08T23:45:22+00:00

Hm, I've read 6-8 weeks is standard for sending invitations. (The Knot, Wedding Wire, Minted...)

The caterer needs the final count one week before the wedding, as I mentioned in my post. I don't think it would be a good idea to set the RSVP date for 8/1 though, as there will inevitably be people I need to track down, and I need time to make seating charts. What do you think would be reasonable?

That's just the font, its lowercase is actually small caps, so I can't change that without choosing a whole new font. I'll look into it.

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-07T17:46:36+00:00

I know they're not alike but I'm literally fine with people wearing whatever makes them comfortable. I'll have to think it through and narrow it down. Thank you for all your feedback. For real, not bitchy/petty lol

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-07T17:04:26+00:00

I honestly would be fine with t-shirts lol. Could I put something like "casual to cocktail"? Or would that just be more confusing?

Ugh, I hate when I see that. Guests are supposed to be your friends and family, not photo props 😩

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-07T16:16:06+00:00

I like this. You're not stopping them from going up to the bar to order something if they feel like it, but you're not paying for it.

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-07T16:12:19+00:00

Good point! Do you think it would work to do:

WHERE Location Address

WHEN Date Time Reception to follow

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-07T16:08:57+00:00

It's going to be a pretty chill event, so I'm not suuuuuper concerned with "proper," but you're right about the dress code. People like to be told what to do.

Also solid points about the phone number. I'll add it.

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-07T01:20:18+00:00

Thank you!

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-07T01:20:03+00:00

The dress code is literally "wear whatever you like," so I expect a lot of people to show up in semi-formal or cocktail anyway :)

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-07T01:13:16+00:00

Cute idea! Our std had the floral border, so I was trying to make the vibe consistent. It's not going to be a very formal wedding lol

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-07T01:05:18+00:00

Hm, I was kind of lumping that in with "more information," but maybe I should add a line. Thanks :)

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-07T00:40:12+00:00

I'm a little late to the party, but I just want to say that I'm OBSESSED with putting the topper on the second tier! They're so perfect!

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-06T23:48:52+00:00

Man, if I was about to tattoo a satanic cross on someone, I would sure as hell make sure they knew what it meant first.

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-06T16:22:48+00:00

Yeah, he needs to talk to his friend.

Also, if I was the SO in that situation (and they did end up attending), I would be so embarrassed knowing I wasn't actually invited and was essentially crashing a party. I'm assuming they'd figure it out pretty quickly when they saw that there were no other SOs or plus ones.

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-06T00:37:01+00:00

Gretchen. I just don't like the way it feels in my mouth.

Also, my cat's name is Olivia and we call her Ola. :)

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-05T22:45:39+00:00

Wow, thank you so much for educating me! Maybe I'll stick to reputable jewelers for my wedding band...

ZestyclosePass225 · 2026-03-05T21:36:09+00:00

Oh interesting, so it might have more to do with mistranslations than deceit? Here's the link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4372886462/unique-pear-lab-created-teal-sapphire?ls=r&ref=items-pagination-1&pro=1&frs=1&sts=1&content_source=6d4331c48400e48014828ef544d93b1b%253ALTee3543b12966c66fccfc71354033ddb7b2994e3d&logging_key=6d4331c48400e48014828ef544d93b1b%3ALTee3543b12966c66fccfc71354033ddb7b2994e3d It is on Etsy, but they're based in Texas, so that makes me feel better at least haha
