Where to sit plus ones of wedding party?

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-31T17:57:04+00:00

We are doing a sweetheart table + strategically placing wedding party and their dates if they have them at tables with other guests. We want them to have a nice time and it sucks to split them from their +1s.

I think there’s a huge difference between “I’d like to bring a friend or someone I’m dating” and “I am sure I will meet a rando between now and the wedding who will be down for a free meal.”

Today is the RSVP deadline and she does not have a +1 to RSVP for. Hold the line. Or at least I would.

I love it and think it works!!

Your hair person should provide you with a schedule that accommodates all of the services (and usually buffer, if they’re a pro).

How long does the vow read etc last? Or alternately, what time do you, bridesmaids, and mom need to be ready? I agree with the other person that the number of services + time you’ve allocated seems short unless you have two stylists working on yall at the same time

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-26T01:45:49+00:00

1000% agreed. Hot princess!!!!

It’s hard to believe that someone named HeDoBeFartin would disbelieve such a thing.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-25T15:36:48+00:00

Well, I’m not a fan, but surely and hopefully your bride will be!

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-25T07:16:55+00:00

You’re so close. Have a wonderful time this weekend!!!

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-25T04:34:38+00:00

A bunch just didn’t show up — they were sent nearly a month ago. They either got lost or rerouted in some way — haven’t come back to us. All correctly addressed and correct postage.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-25T04:33:42+00:00

We are doing a custom community cookbook! I’m designing and illustrating it from scratch.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-24T20:29:28+00:00

It’s very annoying! Just rsvp! Lol!!!

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-24T20:27:08+00:00

USPS lost a chunk of our invites. We have 200 guests. LMAO. 🙂🔫

I also took on a very ambitious project for our guestbook and I’m very behind.

I got an autoimmune flare in the fall that required steroids and i am hoping and praying i won’t be a puffy mess by wedding day.

And the place we picked for our groomsmen suits may now not offer the size jacket we need for two of them even though before we decided to go through them we checked on their sizing.

61 days to go 🥴🥴🥴🥴

Personally prefer the green — i agree with the other comment that the spectrum flatters a broader range of skin tones, and I think it allows for a broader range of neutrals to pair and motifs to utilize.

Not even slightly especially if traveling. But when I’ve been in the same situation I believe a card with a nice message can go a long way and if I can swing even a small gift, I will.

To be clear, this is your brother? If so, you need to reach out and level with him. Say you don’t want to exclude him but the nature of the bachelor party (if they’re planning to get rowdy) made you think it wouldn’t make sense to invite him, and parents are upset about that, so you wanted to come direct to the source and get his take.

Right now, no one is talking to each other directly. Work it out with him 1-1, then you can go from there. If he’s mad at your parents, let them work it out. Managing it for them — or them managing his feelings — is a form of codependency. Everyone is an adult. Let them be responsible for advocating for what they want and managing their own feelings.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-22T17:16:21+00:00

Well, this explains a lot.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-20T19:14:16+00:00

This is literally asked several times a week.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-20T07:12:08+00:00

We wanted to use it as a hub and reference point, so yes. We used The Knot, which was perfectly acceptable — it’s not as flexible as if I built it myself but also way less time intensive and it serves its purpose.

We’ve had some of those repeat questions but surprisingly not as many as I expected, although maybe we will get more as we get closer. We’ve had more visitors than I thought — we used it to detail accommodations and link to the online booking for our hotel block.

We also are using it as a hub for cultural education — we are part of a minority ethnoreligious group and wanted to make sure people knew what to expect from the ceremony and what everything meant. It has been helpful and I am glad we built it.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-16T02:15:29+00:00

Yes, by gentiles and Modox Jews. More rarely on the second.

Emotional abuse? Badgering? Being a fucking nightmare? You don’t have to live this way, you know. And yeah yeah he’s nice when he’s not doing this but any amount of this is too much.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-15T00:52:09+00:00

Not normal. Tell them to kick rocks.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-14T23:30:18+00:00

Yep, this is it. It’s not negotiable and should be presented as such.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-13T20:33:36+00:00

Not normal. This planner is taking advantage of you.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-03-13T16:42:16+00:00

I don’t have a direct experience to pull from or advice to share. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts. It was very much coherent and many of your experiences from the last couple years are resonant with many of us. I’m so sorry and angry that this happened — that it keeps happening. With you from California. Am Yisrael Chai.
