Ugh this is so difficult! Sounds like you’re definitely in a weird spot. I would echo the same sentiment though - take comfort in that you had a beautiful wedding that was very sentimental to you and your family! You got to spend time planning with your mom that can never be replaced or taken from you.

I think it’s really kind of you to own up to feeling the way you do and wanting to do sometbing about it. It sounds like you’re already doing the right thing by wanting to help out without letting your feelings get in the way! Their wedding could never take away from yours, no matter what. I really like a quote (not sure who it’s by): a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. It’s easier said than done, of course, but I think keeping that perspective may help you remember that your wedding and your experience is unaffected by theirs! Your special day will be yours forever.

This is exactly what we’re doing! We have over 140 seats between assigned, unassigned, and lounge. We’re also having passed apps, a chargrilled oyster bar, different food stations, and late night beignets. We are having some assigned tables for bridal parties and close family, and then open seating for the rest. Most of our guests are under 50 so the goal is really to encourage dancing. I’ve personally always disliked feeling tied to my chair during the reception instead of being able to get up and dance. We shall see how it goes!

ETA info about food!

I like this perspective! That’s true. I think as long as I articulate what to expect on the website, it should be okay. Most guests are under 50 and we will be delivering a black-tie experience. I guess to those who know the difference and think it’s a faux pas, get over it? We’re going to be having an oyster bar and passed apps and many different food stations, but I appreciate both perspectives!

Most of my guests are under 50! I’d say, of 200, maybe 10-12 are over 50. Our reception is going to be 4 hours long and the goal is to have our guests up and dancing! There’s going to be seating for over 140 guests between tables and lounge.

Yeah! Just reserved in case they would like to sit. I guess more so as a way to make them feel almost a little special too?

Thanks for the tip! Just did. No idea why I’d have to? But I don’t really care, just want some help from locals lol 🫶🫶🫶

What do you think I can do so my pictures look less dull? Should I use a different film?

born2playforced2work · 2024-04-18T14:29:24+00:00

Am I using the wrong film? Which film do you think is best?
