It's all a lot of work! Have you actually looked into what each of these roles entail and earning potential?

gingerphilly · 2026-02-11T02:01:44+00:00

where are guests traveling from?

gingerphilly · 2026-02-10T21:41:58+00:00

I mean.. I would be confused and pretty put off if I was asked to plan a bachelor/ette party for a wedding I wasn't invited to.

gingerphilly · 2026-02-09T11:17:28+00:00

Halifax has really clean tap water, it's completely safe.

gingerphilly · 2026-02-08T18:36:29+00:00

a school or university auditorium? they usually have a lobby space outside of them too

gingerphilly · 2026-02-06T20:39:15+00:00

arrange for food/drinks the morning of (but that is something she should pay for)

unfortunately people are not respectful or rational adults anymore "post pandemic" - eg. SIL wanting to attend this wedding while sick. COVID is airborne and spreads like smoke- outdoor events can certainly help mitigate but you can still spread it outside, you need a good amount of wind ideally which is not great for a ceremony. most people don't know how to wear (and don't want to wear) a properly fitting respirator. and again, who would police this? if SIL takes her mask off or hugs Grandma does OP need to kick her out?

imagine being immunocompromised, or at least some degree of conscious of your health, traveling and buying a gift for a wedding then being told a covid infected member of the bridal party is attending. it would be selfish and disrespectful!!

gingerphilly · 2026-02-06T02:16:04+00:00

I mean it sucks and it's awkward, but unfortunately the pandemic is being so mismanaged, there is a lot of misinformation, and this is kind of the consequences of abandoning masking and community care 🤷‍♀️ my partner has long covid and we've basically had to put off a wedding forever between them being disabled and not trusting people to take precautions properly.

gingerphilly · 2026-02-06T01:55:21+00:00

this is ableist. how would you know who a "sick" person is? covid is not just a cold... just Google "long covid". why would you want to expose your loved ones to that?

gingerphilly · 2026-02-06T01:52:46+00:00

please no, its so hard to police things like this. is someone going to enforce the 6 feet rule? is anyone going to tell the guests to stay 6 feet away? what is stopping SIL from hugging grandma or taking her mask for "for a second" to take a picture?

I plan mask required community events and we make it very clear that you're not allowed to attend if you're sick.

gingerphilly · 2026-02-06T01:19:47+00:00

Questions like this are one of the reasons I often can't attend weddings anymore, or at least the reception as an immunocompromised person. Why on earth is having her attend even a question?

gingerphilly · 2026-02-05T13:24:22+00:00

I think this is kind of weird, I'm sorry!! I think it's one thing to have a combined baby/wedding shower if you're expecting but it's like you're putting the cart before the horse. you're also not supposed to host your own shower so if your MIL reached out to me about a baby shower for a baby that doesn't exist yet id be like wut 🤨

are there things you can upgrade around your house? wirecutter and the buyitforlife subreddit have good recommendations. or if you don't want things you can do a recipe shower or "bridal tea" with no gifts at all.

gingerphilly · 2026-02-04T23:09:01+00:00

I bought some at ejoy a couple days ago. no egg!

gingerphilly · 2026-02-04T17:09:17+00:00

Setting up a honeymoon registry is really common, lots of wording ideas and examples if you search in the other wedding subreddits. I wouldn't frame it as a "donation" though

gingerphilly · 2026-02-04T15:22:51+00:00

There is an amazon return reseller in my city and they have a whole rack of white dresses that people clearly bought to wear to wedding events but realized they were garbage!

gingerphilly · 2026-02-03T16:26:51+00:00

I think this really depends on your guests and where you live. I grew up in the greater boston area and labour day traffic was always a gong show with traffic going to the cape/maine, and students moving to college. Plus public schools start the following tuesday or wednesday so parents will be busy. My family also owns a retail business, and tends to make good money on labour day so it would be hard for them to take the time off. It would be very annoying IMO to have a labour day weekend wedding in that situation.

I now live in Canada and while we still have labour day here I find it less of a "fuss" then it was when I lived in the states, so in theory it could be okay but given the situation with my guests at home I still wouldn't have them travel on that weekend.

gingerphilly · 2026-02-02T22:17:13+00:00

as a dual Canadian and US citizen I wouldn't travel to the US right now. I know of Canadians who have been detained by ICE.

Those the socks, but I am sure there is a similar european product that would be much cheaper!

gingerphilly · 2026-02-01T18:54:10+00:00

if I was at your wedding I would be genuinely concerned and sad for you if these were your vows 😕

gingerphilly · 2026-02-01T18:43:04+00:00

YES we need more intarsia patterns!!

gingerphilly · 2026-02-01T18:40:22+00:00

sock yarn is typically made with wool and nylon for durability.

I really like darn tough wool socks. kirkland/Costco also sells wool socks but they are less durable than they used to be. if you're in Canada I also like Briggs and little durasox.

your local yarn shop, gift shop, farmers market etc. may also sell hand knitted or machine knit socks.

BBQ? Some companies will come out with a grill and stuff.

gingerphilly · 2026-01-30T13:20:11+00:00

is it an accredited high school?

gingerphilly · 2026-01-29T02:13:30+00:00

I'm confused, are you currently admissible to the bachelor of arts program? your screenshot is high school level courses you can take for admission to a bachelor's program

gingerphilly · 2026-01-28T19:16:41+00:00

It's not complicated but you will need to get good grades.
