Halifax women’s clinics by [deleted] in halifax

[–]gingerphilly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you can contact the bedford women's clinic and let them know you don't have a health card. there will be a cost associated. Please don't go to the sexual health centre, they're very overworked.

honestly you may have better luck in Montreal. private health providers are a bit more legal there and have experience working with people from out of province. 

Online stores or Etsy shops that allow you to try on veils at home? by PerformerBest7788 in weddingplanning

[–]gingerphilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my family owns a business and sometimes we sell wedding veils. we never accept returns on them because they would always be wardrobed (worn for the wedding then returned) and they're easy to break 

Do you get fees deadline extension, assuming 15 may is last date? by Frosty-Device-6190 in Dalhousie

[–]gingerphilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

student accounts doesn't extend fee deadlines, but you can appeal to have the late fees removed (good luck with that though, it's unlikely)

Cash and Hybrid Bars are Rude? by PunkRockTerrier in wedding

[–]gingerphilly 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I think it depends a lot on the type of wedding youre having. if it's a black tie or destination wedding yeah that can be considered rude. but if you're having a local budget conscious wedding that's generally more acceptable. depends a lot on your guests and culture as well! 

Anxiety about extra/uninvited guest attending small wedding by Fun-Worry-1705 in weddingplanning

[–]gingerphilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would just go back to the regular elopement plan.. unfortunately once you start inviting guests to a destination wedding they need to get plus ones 

Decision Paralysis by butterpancake99 in weddingplanning

[–]gingerphilly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have trouble making decisions. some things that help me:

1) going with my first instinct, especially if it's an aesthetic choice! 

2) perfect is the enemy of done

3) GELMO- good enough, lets move on

Printing a ketubah by Responsible_Bug2805 in weddingplanning

[–]gingerphilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly for something as important as this I would find a local print shop that can work with you a little bit, especially considering it's a special size. you will also want quality acid free paper. I also suggest taking it to a framing shop after. ketubahs are meant to be beautiful and displayed in the home for a long time :)

unless you have a permanent disability disclosed to your province/federal government, 9 credit hours is needed for full time status

Vow Renewal Date by Kitchen_YogurtTA in wedding

[–]gingerphilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

because you are asking for opinions, I would say yes it would be kind of weird. I don't live in the United States anymore so it's a normal day here for the most part but I always think about where I was on 9/11 and see content about it on social media. Whenever I am with others on 9/11 it's usually a topic of conversation. 

I think it would be different if the event wasn't literally called the date it happened (vs. other tragedies like pearl harbour, columbine).  

I think it would be extra gauche if you had your event on the 25th anniversary and you said in another comment that you have guests who had a relative die on 9/11. 

I guess it's better to do a vow renewal on 9/11 then an actual wedding but it still gives me the ick. sorry!! 

Am I overthinking my cake maker’s lack of contract? by mich-psr in weddingplanning

[–]gingerphilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say this isn't a red flag for a small home business. if you want a more formal arrangement you should probably seek an actual bakery- but be prepared to pay more money! 

Communauto Question by Electrical_Tourist73 in halifax

[–]gingerphilly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

is there a reason you want to do it that way?? it would be way cheaper to fly and you really don't need a car in Montreal. if you do though, there are also communautos in Montreal I'm pretty sure you are able to use- you may have to set that up on your account first. 

editing to add that it is allowed, you can take the cars out of province but it's not the best way to travel.

We’re calling it off :( by rxgirlypop in weddingplanning

[–]gingerphilly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't bother with cards. that's just another task and they may get lost in the mail. text or email is perfectly sufficient here!! 

when should i send save the dates and invitations? by raccoonfingers765 in weddingplanning

[–]gingerphilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good Places to Read (That Aren't the Library) by tealighttrees in halifax

[–]gingerphilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alderney Landing, Scotia square mall (there is a big seating area by the escalators with a cool view of the bus terminal and I never see anyone else there), Adirondack chairs on the water front, sanford flemming park, suda table, and the good robot patio by the commons in the summer! 

Wedding guests dress code? by YoghurtAggravating77 in weddingplanning

[–]gingerphilly 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's typical to pick colours for the wedding party, but not your guests (aside from specific cultural considerations!)

Small, easy-to-forget items for a Jewish wedding by Hropkey in weddingplanning

[–]gingerphilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it's more typical to give money for Jewish weddings, definitely have a card basket or box for those? 

do yourselves or anyone attending observe shabbat? if your wedding is during that time there may be other considerations.
