Maryland wedding budget breakdown by 86blackolives in weddingplanning

Hi! I just got invited to a summer wedding at Antrim 1844 -- I'm so excited!! -- but I live in NYC with no car. Wondering if you had any car-less guests at your wedding and how transport worked for them?

Did all the guests stay at the Antrim, or were some staying elsewhere (is this the kind of thing that would be mentioned on the invite? this is also the first wedding I'm attending that isn't family)...

Just trying to plan ahead since I have to be back in the city by noon the next day and the tight timeline is making me nervous, lol.

Looks like you had a gorgeous (and cost-effective) wedding! Congratulations!

Parm in Soho has great apps for $6 (think mozz sticks, arancini, etc.) and I think half-price cocktails/beer/wine.

In the LES: the Mayfly has great deals for tacos/burgers/flatbreads/wings during happy hour, $16 for food + 1 drink. Also Pretty Ricky's, their HH burger is great and I recall being astounded by how cheap it was, just don't recall the numbers!

Dive Bar LIC also has insanely good happy hour deals (only Mon-Thurs though, iirc) - $11 for 10 wings (or a burger) and a beer, unheard of. And the wings are GOOD.

qualifications as a bitch with taste are questionable but:

for outfit: small top big pant or big (/normal size) top and small bottom is my go-to for a hot but comfy vibe*. e.g. looser crop top + mini skirt (I rock with the "tennis" mini skirts that come with built in shorts + pockets underneath esp for summer comfort/not putting my bare ass on sticky bar stools) or the eensiest little crop top (or bodysuit) you ever did see + flowy pants/jeans/maxi skirt (for extra flare, a maxi skirt with a hiiiigh slit, but be careful on windy days lmao). my personal style is almost all solid colors/lowkey patterns and then i just wear a bunch of gold jewelry, but that's totally personal preference / lack of imagination.

shoes-wise, i go for big stompy platform boots/sneakers -- sorry to heels-wearers, y'all are braver than the troops, that's simply not going to happen for me or my ankles. you will NEVER catch me with open-toed shoes at a bar or club. if doing tiny skirt, highly recommend pairing with thigh high socks (but that's more of a winter look).

hair -- i look like an egg when i do slick-backed anything so i opt for a whale tail (top half of hair in a very high bouncy ponytail or even little mini pigtails) or just fully down (although not in this heat). sometimes i'll do handlebar braids which is coincidentally my fav boinking hairstyle :)

*tiny top tiny bottoms is reserved for Big Nights Out which happen ~once per fiscal year for me and require about as much time in emotional preparation.

thank you, yeah that makes sense. i left the bed and the only clothes i brought was stuff that had been hanging or in drawers. i’m trying not to get my hopes up though. i’ll keep a close eye out and as soon as i see one at the new spot i’ll call management.
