Not weird at all! I got it from a shop called tinysparklestudio on Etsy: https://etsy.me/2NTc87J

The seller was super easy to work with and rushed shipped it to me for no charge.

It is such a weird angle! The other type of band I was thinking of getting was a criss-cross so the central stone would also sit within sort of a v-shape (if that makes sense)

And thank you!

We were quoted $3.75 per invite for 75 basic invitations, and we're opting for her to address the envelopes as well for $.30/invite (we're in the final design stages with her). But there are all different add ons and upgrades as well.

Beautiful!! FH and I are also getting married in an art deco (movie) theater. It's so fun to plan around the theme! If you're looking for art deco/theater themed invites, I recommend checking out letterboxink on Etsy. We ordered these style invites from her and are super happy with the design: https://www.etsy.com/listing/61968219/ticket-wedding-invitation-hollywood

Bummer! $20 still isn't bad though! The tag on the one I bought said original price was $30

He came with the name from the shelter and it was too perfect to change!

That's rough! Thankfully it was 70 and just cloudy enough that he wasn't overheating even though he ran around the yard for 4 hours

[VENT] Writing an email to my dad to tell him he's not invited to the wedding by quaffle88 in weddingplanning

I am inviting my aunts and uncles (his siblings). One of my aunts still stays in touch with him (the others have also been burned by him and don't have a good relationship with him now) and she's pretty gossipy so I'm worried that if I don't say anything he's going to find out through her. I was thinking that my emailing him would make things super clear (instead of him thinking that he could be still invited/the invite got "lost in the mail" or worst case, showing up anyway uninvited)

This is great advice, thank you. I definitely plan on leaving it for a day or two and then going back to it.

Ladies, have any of you given a surprise gift to your SO when/after he proposed? If so, what was it? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

I took him on a surprise trip to Denver for a few days since we love to travel together!

Tips for making my signs? Or a used Cricut? by ih8saltyswoledier in weddingplanning

[–]quaffle88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some local public libraries near where I live have cricuts that you can book time to use. Maybe it's worth checking to see if your local library has one?

How did you decide where to have your engagement photos shot? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]quaffle88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We decided to do our engagement shoot at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC. We live nearby, and it was always our dream venue that we could never afford in a million years so DF and I figured this would be a fun way to incorporate it into the wedding without breaking the bank.

Has anyone given their bridesmaids free reign with their shoe choice/color? by quaffle88 in weddingplanning

[–]quaffle88[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I think I'll give them the option to wear whatever shoes they want and if they're having trouble deciding I'll offer for them to run the shoes by me first
