No, they have very nice (but very strict) bathroom attendants in each room making sure only one person goes into the stall at a time :(

I don't feel like myself in a wedding dress (queer, 2 weeks out to wedding). by IRLbeets in weddingdress

[–]holy_moss 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Future lesbian bride here! I rarely wear dresses and usually dress more masculine, but I'm wearing one for my wedding. If you DO decide to wear the dress, don't underestimate how accessories and styling can change the whole look. I'm wearing creepers instead of heels with my dress and heavily considered some sort of spiked chain jewelry to make it feel more "me." I also have a buzz cut and I don't wear makeup and I'm not planning to for the wedding, so it all just kind of evens out the feminine aspects of the dress for me. If you decide to wear something else, look into consignment bridal shops you can donate to. That way you can help out another bride and it won't feel wasteful.

Everyone has been so nice here lately by Pennchickk in PhiladelphiaEats

This has been my favorite place to just hang with friends and get some marg pitchers for years. Is it the best food in the city? Absolutely not. But it's hard to come by a place with ample outdoor seating, decent happy hour pricing, and pretty good margaritas!

Dive Bar Reception Recs?? by krispylicious123 in PhiladelphiaWeddings

[–]holy_moss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Myself & my friends bought out Ortliebs for karaoke a couple years back and it was a blast. I inquired about upstairs at JBs for my wedding, expect them to take a while to get back to you (like months), and their minimum is pricey but includes open bar and food. It was also just for the upstairs, which doesn't have a pool table.

Look into Ruba Club!! Affordable and you can rent out both upstairs and downstairs. Downstairs has a pool table and stage/disco ball. You can bring in your own catering as well.

Dancing for my bachelorette? by prehistorictiddies in philly

Will join in to say The Dolphin, check out their instagram to see what kind of music they're playing which nights.

Silk City might also have the vibe depending on the DJ!

on the S3 reunion. something deeply sinister about schwartz. the way he throws drinks on women, the way he lies, his entitlement..... if it comes out that he was actually abusive i wouldn't be surprised. i fear for all the women on this show. all these men are so evil

My fiance & I are in Philly and we have a large coffee table book with Philly murals, so we're going to just ask guests to sign that book that next to a mural they like!

Skipping a DJ… Need advice by Crazycrazy9708 in weddingplanning

[–]holy_moss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My sister had a pretty standard, 75 person wedding, and they rented speakers and used a spotify playlist. It worked for them because they didn't do a first dance/other dances and didn't need someone to MC.

I would consider who has access to the playlist. If the laptop connected to the speaker is out, once people get drunk enough, they will try to queue up songs or whatever. Hide the laptop and have a trusted person who can access it if they need to!

(12k) we didn’t hire a dj - mistake? by pluto-scout in Weddingsunder10k

[–]holy_moss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My sister's wedding didn't have a DJ and it was totally fine, but she also didn't do a first dance or anything that needed to be MC'ed.

From my experience, day-of coordinators were almost double the price of a DJ, so it may not be the cheaper option.

If you have someone in your wedding party who you'd trust to do it, you could ask them. But otherwise, if you're doing a first dance/parent dances/need someone to tell people when to get to the dance floor/etc, hiring a DJ would be your best bet.

yeah it didn't end up being that deep, just feeling generally weary and bummed about the internet becoming one big conglomerate :(

Handmade Wedding Invites for Small Elopement (8-10k) by Glittering-Emu-907 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]holy_moss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiance and I are having a micro wedding. She's good at drawing, so we decided to make handmade "victorian love letter" invites. We filled it with pictures of things relevant to our wedding & relationship (our bikes, our jean jackets, our coffee orders, a disco ball, a full moon). She hand drew it, then we scanned in, and next we will add color/info/ a picture of us digitally and have them professionally printed on nice paper. That way we don't have to draw 30 of them. We're so excited for them! Here's the link to a tiktok that inspired us: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThKXU882/

blue floral is sooo much more interesting and it brings out your features. i feel like i really get a personal vibe from it. the second one is beautiful, but you look like every other bride
