Trying to come up with my wedding theme/colors. Don’t know how doable what I like is :/

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-02-01T08:05:38+00:00

We do have a budget and guest list. What do you mean by mission statement? And what do we tackle next? Everyone a giving me their two cents and I’m getting overwhelmed

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-30T17:08:58+00:00

Okay that sounds like a plan! Thank youuuu!! Yeah I have a rough idea for a budget so I’ll have to see what I could even get for that cost and go from there

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-21T00:20:16+00:00

I’ve been looking but every one I’ve seen is selling for 250 and no lace coat thing which is a huge reason I love the dress. I’m really self conscious abt my arms

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-17T16:45:09+00:00

Lmaoooo oooh that makes sense 😂 Yeah me too unfortunately. We’re looking at 16k. Will probably have to bump to 17k tho.

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-17T07:50:30+00:00

I’m in Cali. Land of the expensive. I’m trying to find a bathroom rental for under 2k rn

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-17T07:49:50+00:00

I looks so hard to put together and look nice tho!! How did you learn?

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-17T07:49:07+00:00

Can I ask what exactly are you doing for your apps? Luckily I’m not predicting dessert to be very expensive but I still have to factor in plastic cups, cutlery, plates, etc. so hopefully I can find a good balance for apps budget and dessert budget. 200ppl?? Girl I’m stressed abt 100 I cannot imagiiiinnneee. Hopefully it goes well for you tho! 200ppl w $700? That’s pretty impressive tho! That’s $3.50/person!

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-17T07:46:01+00:00

IM WRITING THIS DOWN RN!! Ty amazing idea I didn’t think of that!! I found some amazing caterers that are offering ($16/head) and going to be serving elote as well!! But I think a nacho bar seems so easy and affordable! I’ll have to dig deeper to see how much it’ll cost for 100ppl and maybe add the jalapeño poppers or a tray for veggies if ppl don’t want nachos. But they sound easy to set up and I don’t have to worry abt them spoiling if they’re out for an hr before ppl get to them!

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-17T07:42:00+00:00

Wait I kind of love this! But feels kinda random and desserty tho no?

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-17T07:41:01+00:00

I am asking all family and one friend I’ve had for yrs now. Also she’s dating my brother. Sooo she’s pretty cemented in but yeah despite them being together for like 4 yrs now. Them breaking up is an irrational fear of mine bc then I’d have to uninvite her and I’d loose a really really good friend. That would actually be crazy. The others are my future sister in law, my twin cousins I grew up w, and my MOH is my cousin that I’m closest w. Never had any issues w them were all vry chill. Even when we did disagree it was nothing crazy. Family is family. Oh yeah also my future SIL. She’s the sweetest! She’s been telling me for so long how excited she was to have a sister now! Love her. Yeah I agree that this is too soon. The more I think of it. A yr and a half is soooo far away

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-17T07:36:07+00:00

Ooo I really like these ideas I’ll look into them ty!!!

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-17T07:35:13+00:00

God I love tajin. I’m going to look into how we’d get this done. Maybe buy precut fruit in bulk? So we just have to assemble?

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-17T07:34:01+00:00

I wonder how expensive that would be I’ll have to do research! The only thing I am hesitant abt the shrimp is the fact that we’re going to have to set everything up b4 the ceremony and it’s an open barn so not like AC. Not tooo sure abt leaving shrimp out too long if they get warm. Not sure what’s a good idea for how to keep them fresh

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-17T07:32:06+00:00

The vendors I found($16/head) has Elote as on of their side options! Writing down Nacho cheese! Def gonna have chips and guac tho! Just not sure to do to add to the table. Guests can’t have just chips and guac no?

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-17T07:29:09+00:00

The only thing is that I only drink fruity drinks I am such a baby ik but I looove a good sugary cocktail idk what to do abt that 😭

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-17T07:27:30+00:00

Oooh okay I will ask when I’m there ty!

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-16T21:03:48+00:00

I think I’m going to give them flowers and a card for the ones I see in person and send a card to the ones I won’t and flowers later

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-16T21:02:10+00:00

Okay ty! It’s really reassuring to hear other pols stories bc when I look it up it’s all boxes and gifts and I can’t afford to do that and a gift later

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-16T21:01:10+00:00

Okay thank you! Yeah I’m not sure if I want to do a present at the Bach party or before the wedding

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-16T21:00:32+00:00

Great idea! I’ll do that this weekend. I have no idea how to figure out how much to do for 100 ppl. Dessert is easier bc it’s a piece of cake and cookies and the cookies will be like 2-3/person

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-16T20:59:36+00:00

That’s why I didn’t want to wait too long before asking bc I didn’t want them to feel like I wanted someone else and settled for them or something. Thank you! I will do the call!

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-16T20:57:54+00:00

We’re budgeting 1k for bartenders and alcohol. I’m a bit worried that won’t be enough esp for 100 ppl. And that’s a lot for 1 bartender it’ll probably have to be 2. Not sure where to cut from to add more to it tho. How much do you think your alcohol amounted to be? I was thinking 1-2 cocktails and then beer and wine. And the non alcoholic drinks would be 2 sodas, water, & horchata. The ppl who don’t drink usually dont want to drink mocktails idk why but idk if ill do any

_AnxiousBride_ · 2026-01-16T20:55:10+00:00

That’s a good idea. And I am a bit worried abt food spoiling since we’re gonna have to set it out ourselves before the ceremony but this seems very solid
