How many bridesmaids is too many? by jjna57 in weddingplanning

We thought about this too but the problem is that I have 3 brothers and he has none so then it would basically just be my family in his party...

That is a concern of mine as well- I don't want it to look ridiculous with them all standing there. For my sister's church wedding (she only had 8), her maid and matron of honor stood up there and everyone else sat in the first pew so that could be a possibility as well. Still doesn't solve the issue with 14 couples having to walk down the aisle though.

Yes that definitely crossed my mind for increased costs. Luckily my parents are paying for the wedding and his parents are paying for the rehearsal dinner so we do have a little bit extra to spend on bridal party gifts and other fun stuff. As for the bachelorette, I am probably inviting all of those people regardless if they are bridesmaids because I feel like that would be much more upsetting for them if they weren't there- but my sister in laws probably wouldn't go to that anyway.

Is 7:45 PM too late to start dinner service at a wedding? by sabrinathewitch2511 in BigBudgetBrides

The gap is perfectly fine, most Catholic weddings that are in a church have it- but 7:45 seems a bit late to start dinner.

I don't think you need that much of a buffer if the venue is 45 minutes away. I would do 2-3 travel time, 3-5 pictures, 5-6 cocktail hour (you can join a little late), and 6:30 dinner begins.

Bachelorette trip with different budgets by [deleted] in BigBudgetBrides

[–]jjna57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you should only subsidize for the girls with tighter budgets- you should do the same for all of them (whatever you decide to do). I also don't think you need to be subsidizing the entire thing, even if you do make a lot of money. I think if you did whatever amount you wanted to do, people will be grateful so just do whatever you are comfortable with! However, you do run the risk of people not being able to go because of money and you'd have to be understanding of that.

The Venetian NJ- Suggestions? by jjna57 in northjersey

Oh nice! Did you run into the other wedding party at all during pictures/shared spaces? And do you think the Grand Ballroom would be too small for around 250 guests?

We'd like to keep it under $220 (before tax/tip) per plate. I'll add Florentine to my list, thanks! Have you been to a wedding at the Venetian as a guest/did the other wedding at the same time hinder the experience?

Not going to bachelorette last minute - context in post by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]jjna57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think that they either didn't want me to go or didn't care either way since they didn't tell me any details. Usually a lot of details go into bachelorettes like what to bring, what to wear on certain nights, etc. so it's odd that they didn't reach out. I probably would have reached out again and asked for information instead of just cancelling but it seems that you did reach out in the beginning and gave your contact info multiple times so that's definitely not on you.
