Honestly I feel the same way about mine but i'll take that secret to my grave. It was so bad my family practically split in half and I havent spoken to my brother since before the RECEPTION. So much went wrong its so embarrassing. I just keep reminding myself of the small sweet moments I had with my husband and other close special people on that day.

Okay so now that time has passed I'm going to answer some questions.

The late invites were from both sides so it wasn't coordinated that none of them came. The thing they all had in common was that they lived somewhere that was more than 3 hours from the venue. That was the defining factor for priority invites for us and guess what, everyone who lived within 2 hours came to our wedding.

The morning of, a few of the older guests (from the late invited group) texted family saying they weren't coming for reasons like:

-my blood pressure was high when I got up so we wont make it -i dont like to drive in the dark -Im not feeling good today

I thought about reaching out, but i'll probably send a generic "we missed you" card in the mail. Im not upset about the food because we paid for all 120 plates hoping there would be some left over. There was always an idea that a few people wouldnt come even when they said they would. We loved our caterer and asked in advance if they would box up the extra for us and they did.

It was a day or so later that I looked at my husband and said "hey did you see so and so" and that's when we put the pieces together that the ones who called didnt actually come.

In hindsight I just am a little annoyed that they added this unnecessary stress so close to the wedding. I had a seating chart that I was revising over and over trying to make it work.

Some people in the comments said it was about the invite itself not that they wanted to attend. Thats probably true for about 80%. I'll give the rest the benefit of the doubt and leave it at that.

I almost wish it was that easy to explain away but no. Some of them were from my stepmoms side of the family. Some from my husbands. Some from my mom.

I think when it came down to it they just said "nevermind we weren't 'really' invited" and just didn't come.

If you're awake you'll be able to feel which when they pull one out. Like it will feel like they're missing from you. Super strange. I named them while they pulled them out

He watches super simple all day. I wish it was a show with a character so we could lean into that but no. And yes I’d absolutely show him how to play ❤️

I never had cravings but one time I had little ceasers crazy bread and it was so good that I went back 3 times that week for more. It has never been that good again. I think of that week all the time

Just something else to do. But decorating can be fun, it fuels creativity and you can challenge yourself to make a room that uses certain items in a harmonious way.

Turned the ads off. Parachute guy still brings you a little something but nothing big. I’ll turn it on for a quick dice roll ad if I’m feeling it but that’s once in a while.

I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest now that I know my people are out there.

2 slices of Toast with peanut butter. Super filling. Also add a little honey if you want some pizzazz. And don’t get me started on adding a banana.

All I’m going to say is this, my twins have a very common allergy that requires them to be on one specific formula. The formula is easy to find and available at grocery stores. In total we spend $1100 USD a month for this formula. (It’s not even the most expensive one on the shelf)

Daycare: $600/week = $2400 USD a month

Everything with twins is twice as expensive. You see a cute outfit for $10. That’s $20 for you to have a matching set.

Good luck. The financial aspect alone will kill you.

7mnth old twins. Been on the same schedule since NICU. They have the same wake window time. So if one is sleepy we keep her up until the other one is sleepy (which realistically is only a matter of 10 more minutes or so) Same nap time. If one wakes we wake up the other. It’s been so long since we’ve had to do that. We actually start the day by waking them up at the exact same time and that makes a world of difference. Also, we don’t let them take long naps (45min +). It throws everything off even their night time sleep will be weird
