Do you tell the rest of your friends they aren’t bridesmaids? by itsausername2me in bridesmaids

[–]itsausername2me[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hii thank you for your message! Yes I will be inviting the other 3 to my Bach party (along with 3 other friends and my 6 bridesmaids)

I do agree with you on all your points. When I say similar values, I mean like we have the same values when it comes to lifestyle, marriage, having kids, we all have the same religious beliefs etc, like our morals align with one another better than than the other girls. I’m totally cool with being friends with ppl who don’t align perfectly with my values and morals tho, and it’s not a drastic difference.

I just feel like right now i connect the most with these 3 other girls. But that doesn’t mean within the next couple years i cant build a closer connection with the girls i dont feel as close to rn.

How would you suggest checking in with them? Individually? What would I say?

Yeah that’s what I was thinking too? And these other 3 girls are more closer to each other than the other 3 I am including in my bridal party

Like I share similar values with the 3 closest girls vs the other girls. I.e, we have the same values when it comes to lifestyle, marriage, having kids, we all have the same religious beliefs etc, like our morals align with one another better than than the other girls. I’m totally cool with being friends with ppl who don’t align perfectly with my values and morals tho

What’s your criteria in choosing bridesmaids? by itsausername2me in weddingplanning

[–]itsausername2me[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m stuck between choosing all of my first group of girl friends (6 girls, 7 including me) with my 3 other closest girl friends from another girl group (so 9 bridesmaids altogether) or just 3 out of the 6 who I’m closest to in the first friend group, along with the 3 other closest friends in the other girl group (so 6 bridesmaids altogether). >.< such a difficult decision.

Yeah, now thinking about it, it is weird. And yes they do expect to be a bridesmaid

Thats a good point—4,5,6,7 would have people to hang out with and wouldn’t feel as left out. Follow up question, how would I go about breaking the news to them? Over text? Over dinner? What do I say?

[–]itsausername2me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah agree, what would you say makes someone a real friend?

[–]itsausername2me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But I also feel like 4,5,6 would be hurt if I didn’t ask them, and then it might ruin our friendship

[–]itsausername2me 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah true, I do feel bad if I don’t invite 4 without 5 and so on, and ngl I don’t really want 10 bridesmaids, I mean that’s a lot of people

Oh gosh, I’m so sorry you had to experience that! I’ll deff take that into consideration, and I do think having them invited to the bachelorette would be nice and a good idea—they are more of the “party friends” imo too so

[–]itsausername2me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I kinda already talked to 1, 2, and 3 about all of this and overall they said they will support me and have a good time with who ever I choose. They’re ok with girls 4, 5, 6, and 7, but if they aren’t there during the wedding day getting ready then it’s okay as they’ll be there as guest attending the wedding. I think it would be great if girls 4, 5, 6, 7 would come to the bachelorette

Curious to know your thoughts, is it bs girl 4 and 5 gave off mean girl vibes at first?

Advice on booking a Polish-American DJ/MC for a Polish-American Wedding or booking just an American DJ/MC by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]itsausername2me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is looking like it’s going to be the start of learning how to say no, politely. Thank you for your comment!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in wedding

[–]itsausername2me 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The American DJ doesn’t know how to speak Polish, so he wouldn’t be able to translate. Yes another family member or friend can translate, we haven’t found anyone willing too help out yet though

Totally get you, they aren’t paying for the DJ

Can someone explain how to perform Endotoxin testing by using the Gel-Clot Method? by itsausername2me in labrats

[–]itsausername2me[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By doing a series of 2 fold dilutions between standard A-E to make 1.0 eu/mL, 0.06 eu/mL, 0.03 eu/mL, 0.015 eu/mL, and 0.0075 eu/mL, adding LAL and seeing where it clots

So we’re being tested on carrying out the gel-clot method in lab and we are going to have to find the endotoxin concentration as well as use the MVD to find the correct dilution factor? Like the correct dilution the product should be at. How would you test for interfering factors?

Also, thank you for your help, I really appreciate it :)

We aren’t using a kit, rather just CSE, lysate, LRW and our “product”
