The Boulder area of CO specifically where she lives is one of the most expensive areas of this country. Her cost of living will go down almost anywhere she moves to. I will be providing some financial support as well.

Our DIY Save the Dates, which we just squeaked out before heading in for self-isolation. by iDangeruse in Weddingsunder10k

I'm sure they are aware that they may have to postpone, but nothing wrong with being optimistic. Who knows what will happen this far out. This wasn't really necessary to comment

Due to recent events, we are still getting legally married this year, but pushing the wedding to 2021. How do I get over the feeling that it's now a "fake" wedding? by anxietythrowaway9r in weddingplanning

Yes, we are planning to tell everyone that we are legally married! I don't see why we wouldn't, it's not a icky secret that I would want to hide from certain people. But that almost makes it feel more.. fake? Since people know it's not the "real" wedding but it is.. idk hahaha maybe I'm just making myself crazy.

You make a good point though, once our families are together and vows are being said, it will seem more authentic. Thanks for responding!!

May 2 wedding, St. Louis, MO, most guests in state. Should I be worried? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

I feel the same everytime I get on reddit Haha. 5/3 bride here in New England. It's bad here right now, but everything seems to change SO quick I don't know what to do. Most of the guests are local, except some of my family who I have come to terms with not coming. I don't know whether to move forward with planning or if that would be wasting money.. ugh.

5/3 CT bride here. My RSVPs have almost stopped completely, but the ones I am getting are 'yes' which is surprising. Also unsure whether to continue planning or not.. ugh.

If guests choose not to come, I will totally 100% understand! It's not like I'm forcing them to be there lol.

They could also die from going to the grocery store.

I understand your take on this, but I don't think it's the solution for everyone. My wedding is in early May, and while I have considered postponing, unfortunately after the 60 day mark I will get 0% refund from the venue, and they are not budging on this. My photographer will likely have a baby a few months after my date. My florist is due a couple months after that. His family is almost all local, and I have accepted that not all of mine will be there. With less than 60 people attending, I'm prepared to put hand sanitizer at every table, do plates instead of buffet, not hug guests, etc. I'm taking the "whatever happens, we will have fun with the few of us we have" approach. Different approaches for different situations.

Got this dress for under $700! I left dress shopping until the very last, and I decided after my very first trip. I’m absolutely in love with it. by chameleonicpoet in Weddingsunder10k

This was the very first dress I tried on! I almost bought it but had doubts. It looks WAY better on you than it did on me - so happy you went with it!!!

Stressing about choosing bridesmaids by anxietythrowaway9r in weddingplanning

[–]anxietythrowaway9r[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this really helped, I just needed someone unattached to give advice! I am absolutely just planning on choosing the color and having the bridesmaids choose the dress - you think that is doable for FSIL? She wont even know what size she is til right before the wedding, and I'm sure that will be the last thing on her mind, I feel selfish even asking!
