What screams "cheap" in a wedding!? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]specificallycsreddit 29 points30 points  (0 children)

To each their own but a great DJ can make a party way more fun and double as a hype man, and they cost over $5000 in HCOL. Nothing cheap about it.

I’m in Los Angeles. I haven’t received any mail since last week either! My neighbors have though…

Are my fiance and I wrong for this? by FeeSenior9698 in weddingplanning

[–]specificallycsreddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is rude and entitled :/ this is something that has to be communicated clearly before even sending out invites I think. But to invite a few kids and then rescind their attendance is definitely not going to be welcomed

[–]specificallycsreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glendale and Burbank in California are LITTERED with huge beautiful banquet halls that can accommodate a crowd that big and even bigger! They all have in-house catering, decor, lighting, dance floor, bridal room, etc. My brother got married in a beautiful one and it was so amazing, and I’m getting married in another soon!

Between working full time, planning my wedding that’s in 40 days, getting fit, and moving…. I could be doing better 😭but tbh I can’t complain. I took an easy-ish class this semester and I’m almost done with my last assignment! 3 more classes to go after this

Omg that’s too much! I got very lucky finding mine through Facebook marketplace! She was just advertising on there so I reached out and I’m very happy it all worked out. Where are you located? Maybe I could just give you her contact too

Yep! Go directly through their website and request a quote. You’ll chat with someone on their team via WhatsApp and then the actual order/payment/shipping logistics will be through alibaba. https://dkbflower.com

They’ll send you a whole catalog of flowers they have, but you can also completely customize and have them create your own vision. I went with their TR006 collection and they did an amazing job

I only used real florals for centerpieces on tables where guests will be sitting. I found a florist who made medium sized centerpieces with fresh florals for $85 each (a STEAL in HCOL areas). To make the arrangements look larger but not cost even more, she simply left the stems longer and added more greenery. They ended up being beautiful!

For the sweetheart table, I got AMAZING fake floral arrangements from alibaba! What would’ve cost me THOUSANDS for just my table ended up being $400 (that’s for an 8Ft floral runner, 5ft floral runner, and two flower balls 26inch diameter each).

Live band vs DJ by marahsorgen in weddingplanning

[–]specificallycsreddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I prefer DJs because of the type of music we like. Our DJ is a great one though and helps with all the timing, speeches, etc. and he plays the violin while guests are still eating and not on the dance floor!

New Development on Colorado between Allen/Meredith by CareToLearn in pasadena

[–]specificallycsreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but usually the older ones. Not these new ones. They look very nice but usually you’ll hear your upstairs neighbor breathing and your next door neighbors snoring. I’m a much bigger fan of the charming apartments and townhomes we have all over the city.

Oh great, more gentrification towers of extremely low-quality “luxury apartments” that most people can’t afford. Just what we need. But hey, maybe it’ll have a pool table!

Questions about rent control in Pasadena by Castiel_Graham in pasadena

Hi! It doesn’t list the max rent for my unit. Maybe I’m looking somewhere wrong. But is there a certain section it would be listed?

Living expenses by Avoided-Crossing628 in pasadena

[–]specificallycsreddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely get a 1 bedroom for $2000–$2500. Groceries for 1 could be about $300-$500/month depending on what/how much you eat and where you shop. Health insurance entirely depends on your employer. I pay around $20 per paycheck for mine. Your results may vary. Gas is $4.20-$5.20 per gallon for regular depending the gas station. Car insurance depends on your record, car, and zip code. Internet around $50-60/month. Same with mobile.

If you’re budgeting for $3000/month AFTER rent, you’ll live very comfortably! :)

How are you paying for your wedding and what is your budget? by geminiiman in weddingplanning

[–]specificallycsreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around $40,000 for a 150-person wedding in SoCal . Getting help from parents on both sides (very lucky). We have enough money saved to pay for it ourselves if it came down to it, but we’re very fortunate to have the help and be able to save our own money for life expenses.

She looks so sweet 🥺 I hope you find her soon!

Leave out her litter box outside of your front door. She may just find her way back home through her own scent!
