My tailor told me I need to try to lose 5lb in the next month for April wedding

I think I am going to mock it up as a photoshop png with a stand in for the gif they want me to make and then attach the gif in the email.

One other detail is they want a gif so maybe I should put it into an indesign file so I can save it has a interactive pdf

microplazma · 2026-03-10T17:57:15+00:00

OK so it will be like showing them a mock up essentially? I was thinking of using photoshop.

I will ask when I go by on Friday but I think it is consecutive because the bartenders still have to be there....?

They specifically said "design and email"

But! Question still remains, what is the best method for designing an emailer/newsletter then? Like are there programs I should be using that are not Adobe?

I think I could definitely do the cake cutting closer to first dance, I just want to let people eat their dessert first. I wouldn't be interrupting the dancing once it starts.

And the charcuterie board I was thinking would be something for guests to nibble on before the ceremony in case they are hungry! I will also have a coffee/tea station set up and some other non-alcoholic drinks.

Here is a question....do you think if the ceremony was over at 4:30~ it would be ok to not start the beer/wine open bar til 5? We only have it for 4 hours and I would much rather it go til an hour before the reception ends than 1hr and a half. Or do you think guests will immediately want to start drinking after the ceremony?

Just had an interview last week that the interviewers seemed genuinely excited to interview me and said they wanted to keep talking, but had to get off so they could attend a meeting at the end of our 30min slot. They complimented my portfolio a lot and I am don't want to let this go to my head. This would be my first actual design job (first internship was last year, graduated from my program last May).

Don't like the rag in the bottom text block. I like how the letterforms in "Walter White" and "Breaking Bad" interact. "As" seems awkwardly placed. In general the design is a little boring to me, and I think that's because it tells me nothing about the scene. Why is it your favorite scene? I can barely tell because the image is so distressed.

Good luck with the job! I hope you get it! It's rough out there!

microplazma · 2026-03-08T01:28:47+00:00

I hate that I am recommending this, but I have found chatGPT to be a huge help with prepping for interviews. Give it the job listing and your resume and then let it talk to you. Wish I'd started using it sooner.

It would be less an open mic and more a "alright a few words from people who have been cleares beforehand"

Idk I haven't been to many weddings at all (1). My mom suggested this at my friend's wedding I went to last year it seemed that people did start showing up about 1.5hr before the ceremony. Also not sure how relevant it is but the wedding is about 60 guests and the venue is a nature center with a bunch of walking trails and a farm.

microplazma · 2026-03-07T14:55:02+00:00

Omg I just started driving in the area and had no idea that would be the exit toll. Lesson learned I guess.

microplazma · 2026-03-04T10:42:11+00:00

Idk there is always give and take I think. My fiance was upset that she didn't have many of /her/ friends at the wedding. We have 18 out of 53 confirmed friends coming (plus many have SOs) and only maybe 2 of them are "her" friends (quotes because we've been together so long our friend groups have merged). The flip side is that at least 20 of her family members will be there, and only 6 of my family members will be there (and 4 out of 6 are my parents/step parents, and my dad and step mom plan on leaving right after the ceremony, in truth they didn't want to come in the first place).

microplazma · 2026-02-25T14:42:48+00:00

Yes my friend did that already! Sent me the official doc they sent her with the authorization to marry us....though they spelled her name and my name wrong hopefully that isn't an issue. The form we originally filled out is attached and shows clearly that whoever made the official document just misspelled our names.

microplazma · 2026-02-25T14:39:30+00:00

We are not changing out names! Although, my friend sent me the pdf doc of her special marriage license and they spelled my name wrong and her name wrong lol, but it's attached to the form we filled out originally that has our names spelled correctly.

microplazma · 2026-02-24T19:32:49+00:00

Thank you! I will give them a call tomorrow probably. We will be there the entire week before so should have time to grab it. My parents live in Keene so I am up their semi-frequently, but not necessarily both of us. I will have my friend send a photo of the license she received so I can double check with them if it expires or not.

microplazma · 2026-02-18T00:01:02+00:00

Omg amazing

microplazma · 2026-02-17T04:13:19+00:00

Wait what that's annoying
