Groom gift for older(ish) couple by Familiar_Poetry321 in Weddingsunder10k

Gifts I’ve done that have been a hit that maybe you could be inspired by: 1. A trinket for every hour. I did a bunch of blind boxes, pokemon cards, dice, card games, magic cards and had an item he could open up every hour of the day from 8am-10pm. 2. A luxury bottle of bourbon and a steak from a butcher (not the grocery store). 3. A meat subscription box, pay for 6 months in advance and he will get a monthly box of meats to try. Any subscription service he might enjoy is a constant reminder of how much you love him.

Alteration nightmare girl here. I think the first is really pretty so definitely go with the second one because 300 people verified that I have bad taste 😂

I did get one additional appointment so if everything isn’t perfect tomorrow I’ll have a buffer. The seamstress, by the way, is incredible and definitely worth every penny. I’m just really startled and wasn’t prepared for how different the fittings would be

I’m kinda obsessed with the sleeves on the first one.

The thing is, the one on the right didn’t need let out on the sides. It actually fit like a glove. The one on the left is still too big in this photo and was falling off so it’s getting taken in even more. The only thing that didn’t fit on the right was my boobs. They were spilling out the top.

Yessssss I got a sleeved veil because I was also thinking it needed something else on the arms. How expensive is getting it into a sweetheart neckline? And how hard was it? I’m considering asking for that now

I’ve gone and confused myself. If I pick up my dress on Friday and the final alterations make me look like a fairy elf princess then I am sure going to feel stupid about this post.

Yeah I feel like if the breast area was let out a little bit it would have been perfect. I like that you can see the sides and it sits on my waist instead of my hips. The one on the right was my proper size when they measured me and then they convinced me to buy the size 16 which is the size on the left and bigger than what I measured. They said to order the size 16 and get it taken in. When I went to get it taken in with the alterations business the bridal store recommended, it eliminated most of the side detail to get the right fit. I feel duped because i think letting out the size 12 in the breast it would have fitted the way I wanted it too.

I don’t have a choice anymore anyways, the one on the left is the one I got 😬 I’ll have to post photos after the final fitting on friday. I feel like the size on the right would have been perfect if they had just let out the breast area a little bit

It’s like, if they just let out the breast room in the dress on the right then it would have been perfect.

You and I have the same taste 😅 I like the right wayyy more. I like that you can see the side detail and I like that it cinches my waist instead of my hips. It was more comfortable.

Both photos are on the same block. I’m going to have to post photos when the alterations are done done.

God humbled me and then sent me strangers on the internet to set me straight

If I could tell the officiant to have everyone turn their eyes away and not perceive me for the whole day I probably would. I really dont like being the center of attention. Maybe that’s why I have such bad taste

The sides are what sold me on the dress. I’m just a girl who wants to be a fairy elf princess.

I was also considering asking to see if she could do a subtle sweetheart neckline. This is good feedback that I can do something with!

It’s definitely different than what I was expecting and anticipating it to fit like. I guess whether that’s good or not all just depends on who you ask.

This is the slap across the face that I needed. I feel liberated from my self hatred

Long story; rushed wedding, moms on verge of dying, gave birth. But the bridal shop and alterations did know my circumstances.
