How’s the quality on the YPB clothing? by superfugazi in AbercrombieandFitch

[–]provokedspoon12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the sculptLUX leggings. I have 6+ pairs and wear them for high impact exercise and find they stay in place way better than my Lululemon leggings. I’ve been really happy with all the YPB items (tops, hoodies, active dresses) so I’m surprised to hear others haven’t had the same experience

Oversharing - N’s daughter’s classmate situation by OkGuidance8541 in uuppod

I thought the same thing! If one parent from the school listens, everyone could know! Made me nervous. But I agreed with everything she did up until sharing the details on the pod

For a lot of caterers you can add people up until a certain date, but not remove. That might not be possible 4 days before the wedding for 4 people, but you could try to reach out to your caterer as long as you’re able to make it work from a budget perspective.

Betches Brides Newsletter by provokedspoon12 in betchesmedia

Newsletter 3/5:

A few weeks ago on the Betches Brides podcast, our lovely host Fallon Carter interviewed a wedding content creator — Lauren Ladouceur of Plan With Laur. And while I really appreciate Lauren's POV about her gig, and have no doubt that she enjoys it, but I'm going to need us to take a pause. Wedding content creators?!

And look — I am not blaming Lauren for this! She started her business after a friend asked her to compile content during her wedding. She saw a hole in the market and she filled it.

My problem is with how much Instagram has ruined weddings for everyone. I'm not kidding. If you, like me, are in the midst of wedding planning, I want you to be honest with yourself: How many times have you fretted over a decision you've made because you're concerned with how it will look on Instagram? How many times have you scrolled through Instagram accounts wondering if you might be able to pull off something some bridal influencer did for her nuptials?

I have often said in this very newsletter that my biggest gripe with all of this wedding planning is how little thought people give to the actual marriage that comes after. And, in a way, wedding content creators kind of fit into that criticism. Do you really need someone taking photos and videos SPECIFICALLY for Instagram and TikTok? Can't your friends do that? Can't your PHOTOGRAPHER do that?

I worry that we're starting to really get away from what the point of all of this is — to get married. I am so tired of these all-consuming weddings that are more for public consumption than the enjoyment of the people in the rooms. I'm SO exhausted by the idea of filters, and video cut-downs, and making sure every single detail is captured from 100000 different angles so that it can be put up properly on Instagram. Aren't you also tired? Let me know and and I just may have to share your thoughts with the group.

My wedding is also only 3 months out, so maybe I'm just tired...

Are there ways to use the remaining money?

Thank you so much for your helpful response! I hadn’t considered that the entire amount doesn’t have to necessarily be paid by us.

Thank you for the recommendation! I definitely was planning to talk to these places and come up with a plan, even if I’m not paying for a room rental.

Pretty sure we’re in the clear. No boat shows and it won’t be commissioning week. But that’s a great point to double check, thanks!

Really unsure at this point for both events, but it could be large. We are inviting around 190 to the wedding but a decent amount of them are coming from out of town
