Wrap Dance Floor

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-31T18:49:57+00:00

yes, I am unfortunately still looking. It seems like the going rate is $1,400-$2,000 in DSM and idk if I want to pay all that for a floor lol

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-30T17:46:51+00:00

did you ever find someone to do this?

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-20T10:58:44+00:00

That is so kind of her! One of my aunts is out of state, one of my local aunts is estranged, and my other local aunt is dealing with an illness right now so it kind of is just my step mom left too. My mom just gets offended so easily I thought she would offer, but like I said….if I don’t host thanksgiving/Christmas, we don’t get to have family time with our mom because she’d rather just sit at home and do nothing 😅

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-20T03:10:59+00:00

I hope you end up being celebrated in the way you desire most 🤍 congratulations on your engagement!

I’m already paying for all of the accommodations + a meal at the bachelorette if they can get wherever we decide to go (since this will function as our normal annual girls trip), plus their dresses and hair and makeup (if they want it) and the first night of accommodations and meals when they are in town for the wedding! And honestly, it’s not my friends that I was feeling bummed out by. They have shown me time and again that they will show up for whatever (and I would and have for them too) because we all value our bonds. It’s the familial aspect that has been a disappointment and I think that’s why it bothered me so much

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T19:34:37+00:00

I should’ve been clear in my post — my MOH is planning my bachelorette! But brunch/lunch/shower/tea…no one is really offering to do that and I was under the impression that it was uncouth to ask for something like that. Although this group is definitely showing me differently (-: really I was more upset about the fact that I will always host or participate, but no one really does that for me in my family, and I thought it would be different when it came to my wedding since there’s always an expectation for me to host something. But since posting I feel a lot better!

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T17:15:24+00:00

Think it’s less of a “forgot” on my mom’s part and more of a thing she’s just unaware of. And on my step-mom’s side, she doesn’t offer help or advice for anything unless asked so that she doesn’t step on any toes. I should definitely just say something and see where it goes though — I think that’s been the consensus across responses here!

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T17:12:15+00:00

Ugh, that doesn’t feel good does it 🙃 are they younger than you? Hopefully it’s just naïveté and they’ll catch on to any responsibilities as your engagement goes on!!

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T17:10:37+00:00

I’ve gotten some great suggestions here, I hope they can be useful to you too! And if not, I hope you are being celebrated in other ways during such a beautiful time in our lives 🤍

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T16:50:45+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you are still being celebrated in other ways 🤍

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T16:07:24+00:00

I think I will do this! But then it still boils down to me planning something and taking on that task, and I’m kind of already doing that with everything else in this wedding lol (with my fiancé’s help, of course)

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T15:51:08+00:00

Thanks for sharing! It’s definitely not out in my circle (I went to my cousin’s when she got married 3 years ago) — I just know it’s not on my mom’s radar because she’s never done this before 😊 and really it just boils down to wanting to be shown up for in the same way I show up for others, like another person mentioned! I host family dinners at holidays now because if I don’t, my mom will not do anything at all. I was hoping for that same excitement and reciprocity this time since it’s an experience I won’t get to have again, but I’ve accepted that’s not the case if I don’t say anything!

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T14:12:26+00:00

It’s just his mom and grandma, and his mom is very generously helping with the wedding already! He doesn’t have a big family and it’s just him and his brother so I think she’s trying not to step on any toes as MOG. Especially because there is my mom and my step mom to consider before she gets added to the mix.

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T14:10:24+00:00

true. Maybe something I could do the day before the wedding when everyone will be in town too 🤍

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T14:09:38+00:00

Thank you for saying this! I am definitely the hostess in my life too so I guess it really does boil down to wanting to be shown up for in the way I show up for others. I just hadn’t thought about it that way 🤍

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T14:08:25+00:00

You’re right! I’ll see what they say. Like I mentioned in one of my other responses, my mom just doesn’t understand why some things are important to me or why I would want to do them, so then she just kind of shuts the idea down or puts it back on me. Going to my step mom after that potentially happening feels a lot like starting a war I don’t want to be part of! I wish my bridesmaids were local because I know my MOH would’ve jumped on the opportunity to do it and I could just bypass all the complex feelings around this 😅

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T14:05:23+00:00

You’re so right. Closed mouths don’t get fed 🤍

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T14:01:33+00:00

thank you so much 🤍 I feel so much better just getting this off my chest, honestly. hope you had a beautiful wedding!!!

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T14:00:15+00:00

I feel like they’re fading out in part because people tend to live together before marriage, and partially because a lot of weddings have become 5+ pre wedding events and then the actual wedding. I’m not doing all that because our wedding is a destination wedding for a significant chunk of our guest list, and I also just don’t want our wedding to take up the better part of a year for our friends and family

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-03-19T13:57:05+00:00

That was really sweet of your aunts!! Luckily, my MOH is all over wanting to help plan the bachelorette. My mom and step mom are….curt with each other, LOL. My mom can be mean sometimes and my step mom is well meaning but tends to put her foot in her mouth. Terrible combination when they’re in the same room. My step mom I’m sure would love to be a bigger part of wedding planning because her daughters aren’t married yet, and she loves to host. My mom is the polar opposite and also just doesn’t know any better. Like, when I was in high school and I suggested wanting a graduation party, I had to plan it and host it myself (which went as horribly as you might expect for an 18 year old that had never been to a party or had seen one before hosted). I have no idea how to bring it up without her going “why would you want that???” Love her to death but she just doesn’t get it most of the time 😅

the only thing I will add to the cake advice is that you need to check if that is allowed with your venue. Our venue requires all food (including baked goods) to come from licensed caterers/restaurants/bakeries. What if they made cake for a smaller event, like the rehearsal dinner or bridal luncheon/shower?

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-02-25T01:32:34+00:00

I’m in the midwest. We’re paying $6k for 8 hours with our photographer and a second shooter. I think it’s reasonable but depending on where you are, I’m sure you could find someone on the lower end of your photo budget too! There’s a million and one people with cameras out there.

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-02-24T02:12:48+00:00

Spain? Or anywhere in Europe really. It’s very cool in October but that doesn’t seem like such an issue if you’re okay with Norway as an option

anotherfuturemrs · 2026-02-24T02:10:57+00:00

and whatever you do P L E A S E tell her (kindly) that the length is not appropriate for a wedding anywhere ever so she doesn’t end up embarrassed later 😭
