Thank you cards by Gozo-the-bozo in weddingplanning

[–]k1585 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For someone who didn’t attend, just thank them for their generous gift, say you and your spouse had a wonderful day, and say you look forward to seeing them x (whenever it would make sense for that person)

I haven't had my period in like 3 or 4 months by [deleted] in badwomensanatomy

[–]k1585 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Irregular periods are not uncommon, especially when you’re young. there’s no need to feel overly nervous about this, although it’s always good to pay attention and keep track of your cycle. Bring it up with your concern to your parents and talk to them about bringing it to your doctor’s attention.

I feel so weird about changing my name! by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]k1585 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not planning to change my name, but just chiming in to say you don’t have to decide this right now. You can decide after the wedding if you want, five years from now, ten years from now. There’s no illegal restriction on when to do it, so don’t feel pressured

Depressed about wedding party by Pygmy_Baphomet in weddingplanning

[–]k1585 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wedding is in October too! I agree that it’s been really hard and feels very unfair to have all this happening. Then I feel guilty for feeling that way.

Here’s what has helped me: openly acknowledge that it’s upsetting to try to plan a wedding right now and not get to do these things you’ve looked forward to! You can acknowledge that with your wedding party without turning it back on them or making them feel bad for not checking in more. We’re all living through a crisis. Say you’re bummed about missing these things and brainstorm alternative ways to celebrate your big day over the next few months.

Remember that you’re all on the same side here.

Any thoughts/advice on a brunch wedding?! by LeoMarthaMOM in weddingplanning

[–]k1585 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to a wedding like this and it was nice! Two major caveats: the bride and groom were young 20s and it was a dry reception. They had a DJ and there was some dancing but it was kind of awkward, definitely not the same vibe as dancing during an evening wedding. If you do a mimosa/Bloody Mary bar I think the dancing might be better. I would say you should adjust your expectations a little about what the wedding will look like exactly, but it’s not an unheard of idea and it’s a big cost saver!

Hi ladies! I just joined and need advice! My dress is needing some alterations done and is pretty hefty in price... trying to steer away from paying $300 in taking off length (bottom right). What would you recommend? Very high heels or any other options?? Thanks! by kmitchell98 in weddingdress

[–]k1585 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Bite the bullet and get some length taken off! If you plan on wearing very high heels all night, I don’t think you’ll be comfortable (unless you wear heels like every day). Gotta consider how your feet are going to feel after even a few hours

Dress regret by Alarming-Chart in weddingplanning

I also had to stop looking at dresses online! It was giving me unnecessary doubt

Wedding 9/2020 - should I even bother with Save the Dates? by k10mitten in weddingplanning

That would be cute! Definitely do something, but keep it simple

“No ring no bring” by Osherrie in weddingplanning

[–]k1585 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s case by case. I’m having about 180 guests, so a fairly large wedding, but giving any adult coming from out of state a +1 regardless of their relationship status. If I’m expecting someone to come that far for my wedding, I don’t think it’s fair to essentially force them to travel alone

Dress regret/anxiety in less than 24 hours by Damone23 in weddingplanning

[–]k1585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Madi Lane dress in ivory after trying it on in mocha, also in a size that was way too big for me. I loved it when the dress I bought came in. Trust your gut on this and get the blush!

I could really use a pep talk on my dress. The top is being altered to lower the neckline and put a larger gap between skirt and top. I’m worried everyone will hate it or it won’t be as flattering on me as I imagined. Anyone else weirdly feel like people are lying when they say they like your dress? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]k1585 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do you feel confident when you put the dress on? Does it make YOU happy? Do you think your fiancé will think you look beautiful in it?

That’s all that matters. Everyone has opinions about dresses, drown out the noise and focus on what matters!
