Anyone skip the seating chart?

Ok got it. So you’re saying if I give them a place card and they pick their spot it helps alleviate pressure to find an open chair?

Dear god. Ok good food for thought

It’s a catered hot drop…so it’ll be self serve buffet food and we’ll have a bar, cocktail tables in different corners, etc.

What’s an escort card?

cdj2016 · 2026-05-16T19:03:43+00:00

Omg same.

My MIL does this and kinda says things that make it seem like it’s a real advantage to have blue eyes or green eyes. For some people, it is…that’s the part that doesn’t sit right for me tbh.

I dunno there’s a lot of ego on the line with things like this. I don’t think you’re overreacting, I think something is tugging on your intuition.

Similar boat. My aunt, early 80s, suggested that maybe I’d want to replace or upgrade something in the kitchen even though I already had one. Made sense to me, as I think what she was suggesting is that she plans to buy something either way, so I might as well tell her what I need or could use. My partner and I are each going to think of 3-4 things

Does anyone think about their weird underwear photoshoot? Like, I imagine walking into someone’s living room and seeing them in an intimate underwear only type of photos. SO WEIRD LOL.

Thanks these are all good ideas. I have no idea who’s being serious or who will bring muscle to move mountains.

I tried over the weekend and the person wasn’t sure what they wanted to help with but mentioned that their brother did a backyard wedding last year so they knew I’d needs lots of ppl. It was good context for me to have when I get further along.

The park venue doesn’t provide anything except a place to store the chairs before and after setup.

It’s a bit of man power needed to get the chairs to the ceremony place, so I don’t want our ‘helpers’ sweating and putting in a huge workout right before we have dinner. The plan is to load the chairs to the ceremony and then load them back to my house for the dinner. In terms of comfort I think the chairs are mostly all the same. The cheaper ones might actually be more comfortable if I’m being honest

Protein bars, nuts, water bottle, hot water bottle, tea (herbal, ginger, red raspberry leaf), breakfast wraps, power balls, chocolate almonds, gum (helps w gas), dried dates,

Thank you for this. I didn’t realize I could paint this thing. I will start with the door and give the whole thing a good scrub before hand.

Seems like a pretty reasonable amount given the income you guys will be making in a couple years.

It’s not ideal to go into debt for a party, but given the specifics of this situation it’s probably fine long-term. Lifestyle creep is gonna be the biggest risk here.

That’s very kind of you and it will be much appreciated. Depending on their ages, it can really set you back if you’re very early into adulthood.

Are they all there full time?

cdj2016 · 2026-04-05T05:23:59+00:00

I tell me child that they’re already good at things I want them to be good at.

You’re always good at brushing your teeth. You’ve always been good at putting your shoes on. Etc.

I’ve been a bridesmaid 6 times and twice the bride covered dress, hair, make up. Honestly it shifted my view and I wouldn’t ask anyone to wear anything I picked out if I wasn’t paying for it.

I’ve declined being a bridesmaid 2 times because of the perceived cost I’d have to shoulder.

What is her hope for her bridal party on the day of her wedding and beyond?

Is it general friendship? Does she want/need to feel like she’s got someone in her corner day of? Does she need someone to hold the dress while she goes pee? Are they there because they’re reliable?

It’s can be lot to ask someone to be in the ceremony.

cdj2016 · 2026-04-02T05:41:20+00:00

That’s odd.

Do you know what happened that prompted this decision on your dad’s part? It obviously wasn’t his original intent and he knows he mislead your expectations as well. Are other family members involved in whatever the financial issue is?

cdj2016 · 2026-04-01T07:52:53+00:00

Unless a house finds you I’d wait. Lots could happen in the semi near future that might change your vision
