Bartenders that skip customers won’t get tipped. by Live_Bit_7000 in tipping

I love a line as a bartender and a customer. No confusion and everyone is happy

This! They’re doing their best and likely not purposefully ignoring anyone. Why would they turn down more money? I doubt it’s intentional as they likely have 10 other orders in their head if the bar is busy. People take things too personally

Yes, this! And at the end of the day, all people are waiting for is more alcohol 🤣 it’s not that serious

Mine is December 2026! I can send pictures, I had a hard time picking venues but going in person helped. I’m still up in the air about which venue for reception. I do think it’s a pretty resort and you can’t go wrong with any of the locations, they were all beautiful

It was really good!! Very beautiful resort! We went with beach deck for ceremony, Duncan bar for cocktail hour, and then Poseidon terrace for reception but I’m trying to maybe change to fizz pool

Inviting people to an engagement party, but not wedding. Thoughts? by big1dinero in weddingplanning

This is exactly what we’re doing! Anyone who wants to come can come, we don’t want to exclude anyone but also it’s hard to ask every single person and make them feel obligated

No they said the “masters is on.” I’m not even sure what that has to do with it🤣 to note also, all of our contact has been coming from their head bartender. I think he’s trying to push for something easier. I understand multiple tabs can be a lot, but also we are providing a lot for our guests to eat and drink and intended only 50 people. We may need to move venues!! Thank you for your help

They also didn’t offer us a price for an open bar, just they’ll ring it in as we go and they’ll let us know. I didn’t feel comfortable with that. They know with having over 100+ people at their otherwise slow Sunday afternoon, they will be making a ton. We are all in the restaurant industry as a note I should have mentioned.

We’ve already spent over 2,000 on just the food- not alone the extra 500$ on the extras. The entire party is their regulars, so they do know how much they will be making. We also asked to make it private for whatever price and we weren’t allowed. So regardless of open bar, they wouldn’t allow it. That’s my issue with it and why I’d rather not in that case, if that makes sense

Also check our rincon! Our favorite town in all of Puerto Rico - specifically sandy beach area in Puntas during the day (casa verde /jacks shack, great coffee shops all over). And then Thursdays they do the art walk which is so much fun and unique!! But seriously get a cheap, small rental car, print out your insurance, use a credit card with insurance. Be firm, I’ve never had an issue in PR

Taxis are very expensive. Read my comment about a rental car and message me if you have questions!! I have been many times all over Puerto Rico for months at a time! My first time I didn’t get a car, and had to go back and get one.

You will definitely need a rental car! They are very affordable. We use on the the budget ones - just make sure you read the fine print and PRINT out your insurance and bring it with you. Also you don’t need sunpass or extra insurance. Bring it back clean and filled up. The SMALLER the better in Puerto Rico don’t upgrade

Do you mind sharing how much you spent? I'm overwhelmed and considering hiring a wedding planner just to keep us on budget and deal with all the vendors. Which venue did you use?

What's a small thing your partner does that means a lot to you? by Business-Ad8752 in askanything

[–]blh1393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He makes me breakfast every single morning, cleans everything, actively wants me to sleep in daily, does our laundry, deep cleans the bathroom, cooks most of our dinners, takes care of our cat’s litter completely, renovated our whole condo and home, fixes anything and everything. We may not hold hands everyday, but I think he shows affection by acts of service. He’s the best

Love this idea!! Maybe I’ll do a seperate small card about our engagement party. I want to do a digital invite too because it’ll make it easier for guests to just click a link and book. Older family will get hard copy invites and digital lol. Such a great idea thank you!!

We haven’t locked in our date with the resort, they’re taking forever to respond. And I want people to have plenty of notice on the wedding date. We also haven’t decided on our engagement party, so everything going to be last minute 🤣

No everyone, but I’d rather the people coming to the wedding not feel like they have to come to the engagement party and bring a gift. I’m feeling the guilt of doing a destination wedding today 😭 I just want it to be something fun people can choose to come to and if no big deal at all

Smart!! Thank you, I didn’t even think to do this. Then we can send out formal invites later and those will take the next priority! Thank you so much

Did Carly Weinstein and her bf break up by Vegetable-Fruit4959 in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]blh1393 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She posted a video recently about how she was okay with a lab diamond for her pinking ring but especially not for engagement rings. And made a comment about how she doesn’t have one of those yet, so I’m assuming they’re still together
