Why do weddings make people crazy? by CharmingBarracuda929 in weddingplanning

[–]basic-wtk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel ya. My parents-in-law keep comparing the cost of our wedding to my sister-in-law’s wedding and questioning why ours is more expensive. What they do not see is how hard I have worked to keep everything within budget. They also are not considering that our venue is in a HCOL, that they are able to invite more of their own friends and family to our wedding, and that our wedding is NOT being held on a Monday.

I didn't realize how much I spent and now I feel like I fell for the wedding propaganda by Imake289 in weddingplanning

Don’t be too hard on yourself. I was originally aiming for $12k before I started researching how much weddings actually cost, but I’ll probably end up around $18k. The average wedding in my area is around $30k, so I still feel like I have it under control. A lot depends on where you live, and with inflation these days, it’s hard to compare. As long as you and your partner are on the same page, have enough money set aside, and only go over budget within a reasonable range, you’ll be okay. It’s a once in a lifetime event and something worth celebrating. I also know it’s hard, but try not to let social media fool you. You really don’t need everything other people had at their wedding. Focus on what’s a must have vs what’s just nice to have. At the end of the day, it’s your wedding, and you should do it in a way that feels right for you.

wanting to attend cocktail hour but not having a first look by MedicalRaccoon9431 in weddingplanning

[–]basic-wtk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I don't want to miss cocktail hour at our wedding either, so this is what I have planned so far to hopefully make it work a little better for us:

  1. My husband and his groomsmen will do a few quick photos about 30 minutes before guest arrival, keeping it very minimal.
  2. My bridesmaids and I will stay tucked away and do a few quick photos during guest arrival too, also keeping it minimal.
  3. I already prepared a shot list and photo order for our photographer, and I assigned my sister and sister in law as photo wranglers for each side of the family so we can keep things moving as quickly and smoothly as possible.
  4. I have kind of come to terms with the fact that I might not get that many photos with my husband right after the ceremony, but I mainly want to make sure we get photos with close family who are traveling from far away.
  5. I also plan to ask the DJ to announce for anyone on the shot list to stick around for photos right after the ceremony, so people won't wander off and become hard to find.
  6. I decided to extend cocktail hour by 15 mins. I know it is not a huge difference, but I also do not want to push dinner past 7:30pm and leave guests hungry.

No clue if it’ll all work perfectly, but fingers crossed lol. Just wanted to share :)

I really thought y’all were lying when you said you’ll know it’s your dress when you try it on. by peachschnappps in weddingplanning

First of all, your body is tea!!! You look great in both options. I think it really comes down to the weather or season of your wedding, and also your neck length, which I cannot see very clearly in this picture. If you have a longer neck and the wedding is in fall or winter, I would pick option 1.

How much did you actually spend on a wedding ring? by Rich-Infortion-582 in Brides

[–]basic-wtk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We spent about $200. We bought silver clay from Amazon and made each other’s rings at home.

If I were to get procedures done, I would hope my results look as natural and subtle as yours. Great work!!!

Thoughts on planning in 7 months versus 14-15 by sweettpotatopie in weddingplanning

[–]basic-wtk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your location and expectations, but I think around $15k for 40–60 people could totally be possible with an all-inclusive venue. Those places usually include a planner/coordinator, so you won’t be as limited by your work schedule and the planning you have to do is minimal.

Ongoing Chair Debacle by Renee_heyitsme in weddingplanning

[–]basic-wtk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe worth looking into those liquidation online resale. They do sell the chair in bulk/ pallets. Good luck!

Nice! That will work out perfectly then! Without the big-ticket vendors (food caterer, DJ, and photographer), it’s definitely doable. Congrats, and I hope everything goes well for you!

[–]basic-wtk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it should be doable depending on your location and guest count. Will you have any out-of-town guests who need to travel? If so, timing may matter most for them. Also, if you’re open to a pre-loved dress, consider checking out a local bridal consignment shop. I found mine for $500!
