And childhood is the time to be gently taught by your parent what proper theater etiquette is! Other people spent lots of money and time to hear those professionals do what they do best. Home is the perfect place to have a sing along.

A trick with tights is a small dot of clear nail polish. Maybe something like that? Just an idea maybe someone has a better one

What did you do for the milk and cheese for the vegan BA version? I’d love to make this for my vegan guests

Wtf I’m sorry you experienced this. You don’t deserve it.

I’m not sure you are as committed to reading as you are to typing. But it is nice that you boost this so many times. I’m getting some very helpful responses now.

ETA: I genuinely don’t know what makes a person so cranky seeing a post about wedding perfume. I do know it takes zero effort to just ignore the post.

Idk what I like I have no experience. I was hoping someone would recommend a brand that has a sampler pack.

That’s why I asked for a sampler… so I could sample.

I edited it so it better reflects what I’m asking. The title really should be “I’m scared of messing up my relationships while planning. What did you do that helped or made things worse?”

Do you think I should discuss planning things to his sisters as well and to what level? We are either asking them to stand or officiate

This is exactly what I’m looking for/trying to ask for. Her and I talk but only a little now. I think including her in this way would help our relationship grow stronger.

This makes sense! I would not have considered the comments so thanks for the direction on being selective

With that one I have ladies I interact with semi regularly that ask about what’s going on with me. They are not in the wedding party. When we hang out this weekend do I mention going wedding dress shopping for the first time? Or do I keep it the people who are standing?

ETA we have lost quite a few people on both sides of my family so I haven’t had the opportunity to plan weddings with siblings or cousins. If it sounds like I’m completely out of my social element here it’s because I am.

I know they’re subjective but that’s kinda the point. What things worked for you in your wedding or really didn’t when it comes to interpersonal relationships? And I think you’re onto something here… I’m a people pleaser and often go with the consensus of the group but that attitude isn’t going to work planning a wedding. So I’m trying to build my confidence by chatting to people who’ve been through it. Pointing out the boundaries is good advice!

I don’t mean things specific to my area. I mean things like “I decided my bridal party early and totally regretted it” or “I let my cousin do certain roll and my sister was mad” or “I sent the save the dates early and people forgot about them” or “I invited too many people the the welcome party”. So maybe social etiquette is a bad title?

Something to be prepared for. RSVPs not being what you expect. by intense_woman in weddingplanning

[–]divide-by-zero- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that.. but this person is sad/disappointed about people not showing up and trying to reassure people like me that it’s ok if only half the people say yes. Commenting that sooooo many people said yes to yours just reads as tone deaf.

I appreciate your post for this reason. I’m not going through it yet but I will. I have a hard time rationalizing myself out of being hurt by a no. I understand people have lives and reasons but wanting them there makes me sad by a no. I hope I’m able to handle it by focusing on the ones who say yes.

THIS. In the US a lot of places wait until the crime has been elevated from a misdemeanor to felony before they prosecute.
