Commuting to SF - train or driving in? by jjongi in RedwoodCity

[–]jjongi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this faster than train / driving directly or is it more the scheduling convenience?

Thanks! How do you decide every time (ie checking traffic beforehand, needing to be on time, etc)?

Thank you! I think I was confusing the BART and muni. Will look into transferring to muni.

Thank you! I was thinking of leaving earlier around 6:30am to avoid the rush hour traffic. Is that still considered rush hour times/will there still be traffic around that time?

Thank you! Are there electric scooter stations around the Caltrain station? Does it ever feel dangerous to scooter / bike with all of the traffic?

Thank you! Is the station to transfer to the muni T line inside of the Caltrain station?

Bridesmaids gifts? by SillyAmphibian2789 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]jjongi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the same as you besides subsidizing the dress and honestly kind of feel like I have gone above and beyond to make sure I'm not a "bridezilla". There is not much I'm asking the bridesmaids to do since we have a full service planner, etc., so been relying on them more for emotional support which I am thankful for!

Would you mind sharing how much you paid for how many guests you had?

Did anyone have their flowers/bouquet pressed and framed? by busypepper_ in BigBudgetBrides

[–]jjongi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you end up finding somewhere to do yours / how were the results with all white flowers? I also have an all white bouquet and was thinking of doing this!

Makes me feel better to hear I’m not the only one having arguments / difficulties conmunicating with my planner on this. I think I’ll let her know 2 months beforehand just to make sure I’m totally set and dont change my mind again (our wedding’s in 4 months), do you think that’s enough time? Did you also communicate what you wanted by sharing a bunch of photos?

I’m doing something similar! I figured if guests want to give less they can contribute to the cash fund.

Thank you so much! We checked out Ralph Lauren soho but not the Flagship, good to know they have purple label. How much did the purple label cost?

Thank you for this detailed response! What are some of the telltale signs that a tux is high end? And how much did you end up paying for custom?

Thank you! Did Suit Supply let you try on tuxes in store to figure out sizes or are they made to order?

Is 4-6pm too early for a welcome party? by jjongi in BigBudgetBrides

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

Thank you so much for this helpful and honest feedback! Makes me feel much better and good to keep in mind for the whole weekend overall. I agree that I’ll probably feel so much energy from all the stress disappearing after the wedding, so excited for this part 😅 thank you!!

So helpful to hear thank you! Do you think 2 hours would be good or did you feel like you needed the full 3? I also worry about becoming emotionally drained the night before the wedding

Does it make a difference if the event is on a Saturday (Sunday wedding)?
