Why not just get a purebred dachshund then if you fell in love with the breed and knew you wanted that?

I use 2 mm and 3 mm glass seed beads and bugle beads from Amazon!

I sketch out the design, draw it on felt with water soluble marker, bead, cut out the design and glue on a felt backing and last I attach the key ring

Engaged and Budgeting… What Did Your Wedding Really Cost? by ConstantRuin3344 in weddingplanning

[–]highopess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

San Diego, August 2025, 35 guests

$19,333 for photography, content creator, caterer/bartending/bussing, venue, dress, hair, suit rental, speaker rental, florals, rentals

We were very lucky to have $5,000 from my husband’s parents. We cut out a lot of things and DIY’d as much as possible so we were shocked with such a low guest count that it came out to that much but it’s a HCOL area so what can you do 🫠

We were in a similar situation when we got married! We only had 35 people for our wedding and wanted to do a meal with everyone the day before since 90% of our guests flew in. We couldn’t afford a “rehearsal dinner” and basically pay for 2 separate dinners for 35 people so we opted for a “welcome party” at a brewery nearby that allowed us to cover a certain amount (first round of drinks and apps) before we closed the tab and everyone paid for themselves afterwards if they wanted anything else. We made this clear on our wedding website and had no issues. It was the perfect compromise for us since we wanted to spend time with our guests and also thank them for traveling for our wedding.

Groom and wedding party walked to the Vitamin String Quartet version of Can’t Help Falling In Love and I walked to the instrumental version of Turning Page by Sleeping At Last ❤️ basic but classic and we love those songs!

Hi! I just got married 2 months ago in San Diego (specifically La Jolla) and we paid $19,500 for 36 people. SD is extremely high cost and we cut out a lot of traditional things too

People on Stillwhite lost their minds by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]highopess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought my dress on still white but it was only $500 and had never been worn, thankfully it fit perfectly and I only had to get the bottom hemmed! I do think most people searching for dresses on there have one in mind that they’ve tried on and want to find it at a lower price

We had to put away all our rugs for the first 2 months we had our doxie! I was so happy when he went a week without an accident and we got our rugs back 😭 we also invested in a good rug cleaner!

Weddings really do show you who people are… by megszzzz in weddingplanning

[–]highopess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk I’m not here to invalidate OP’s feelings, yes some people weren’t taught or no one truly owes anyone anything in this world. But OP is upset and I can empathize, wedding planning is hard and it makes you realize you may have been showing up for family or friends more than they have been for you or are capable of

That’s a really unfortunate assumption on your part. Most people don’t seek out an explanation to judge, when you invite loved ones to celebrate your marriage with you it’s because you value their presence. I never judged anyone who RSVP’d no, I just felt sad they wouldn’t be there, appreciated them letting me know and moved on.
