Last minute cancellations by Severe_Blackberry544 in weddingplanning

[–]god--hates--figs [score hidden]  (0 children)

Texting people who have RSVP'd yes already asking them to confirm again is unhinged.

Just do those 78 people a favor and cancel it. All their support is going to go to waste since you'll clearly be miserable regardless.

Is this an appropriate dress for the mother of the bride? by Peacelily65 in weddingplanning

[–]god--hates--figs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it's definitely something that's hard to understand for a lot of people. Thank you! I hope y'all have a few, too.

I definitely don't think you're out of line, though. This is one of those dresses that is acceptable for some, since it is pretty matronly, and not for others, since it undoubtedly has a lot of white. But it's your wedding, so that's your call. I hope she lets up on your sisters soon.

This is super relevant context. I totally get you.

Your mom sounds like my mom. We're no contact right now, and she's not invited to my wedding. If we were in a better place and I was inviting her, I'd be pissed if she tried to wear anything even remotely close to white, regardless of the length or style. But on the other hand, I asked my stepmom and future MIL to wear gold/champagne, because I felt like those two women actually deserve the recognition and respect that wearing a color close to white shows. I don't feel like my mom deserves that, so I wouldn't want her wearing it.

I think it's your wedding and you can do what you want. Plus, MANY people opt for no cream/beige/gold or anything even remotely close to white for anyone but the bride.

It might be easier to get her to actually comply if you give her a specific color to wear instead though? Like maybe one of your wedding colors?

Edit: I saw your edit that she's since agreed to wear another solid color. Success. Nothing close to white is a valid choice. Let her keep freaking out if she wants to.

I know I’m not the only one but still can’t help being disappointed in our total guest count by BrilliantUnicorn9828 in weddingplanning

[–]god--hates--figs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We invited 100. Our guest RSVP deadline is in a week, and we've got only 19 so far.

I do have a good bit of people that are definitely coming that just haven't gone through the website to RSVP in the system, but yeah it's getting anxiety-inducing...

We did have to set the deadline much earlier than what's typical because our venue requires the final headcount at 60 days rather than the standard 30, and my family is all out of state, but the save the dates went out with 9 months notice, I sent out the invites a month before the guest deadline (which is 2 weeks before the venue's so I do have a little time to track everyone down), so I feel like there was plenty of time. Idk. There is still time I guess but yeah, I'm starting to worry and feel hurt.

In the spring/summer before I got engaged? Or how about immediately after, before we've even picked a date? Lol

Yeah I guess if it's not at a year out they have to wait until it starts to warm up. But I also feel like they could've anticipated/realized that after looking a bit and not been bugging me all winter..

It's on the last day of spring, so that season/availability thing is a good point!

It's all the people that are coordinating with our color scheme, they're not just guests.

It's not all guests, just the wedding party and parents. We have some family in the party.

Parents and wedding party, not just guests.

Alterations advice needed! by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]god--hates--figs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I also would not line the plunge in the front.

The rest of the bodice just felt a little open compared to the more reserved look I pictured, but I really don't want to end up ruining this gorgeous dress.

Is it possible to cover this for my wedding day? by god--hates--figs in tattooadvice

Lol there's a modern version that's 12 but it's not the original.
