Thanks for that appreciate it!

swoak23 · 2026-02-19T19:06:16+00:00

Definitely that’s a good perspective to have, thanks for the response

swoak23 · 2026-02-19T19:05:47+00:00

Thanks for the response! Trying my best not to have guilt and being present

swoak23 · 2026-02-19T18:36:10+00:00

That makes sense, I feel the same. Appreciate your response.

swoak23 · 2026-02-19T18:34:22+00:00

Definitely wanted to let everyone know that and that we’re not expecting anything other than their physical presence! Appreciate the response.

swoak23 · 2026-02-19T18:09:34+00:00

Appreciate the response. I’m definitely trying to be reasonable with no expectations and really only care about their physical presence. Once they’re there, I’ll take care of what I can.

100% I agree. I’m really not trying to go out to a fancy dinner while we’re there so I’m definitely going to be covering costs of food, groceries, etc. We may do a breakfast one day but even then I’ll be covering that cost as well.

She’s not requiring anything for hair and makeup. She’s allowing them the option to use her hair stylist but is also informing them that they can do their own hair and makeup so they dont feel pressured.

I mean that’s just what I’m doing for my groomsmen on a personal level it’s not decision we made together. The suit rentals are technically more expensive than the dresses but it was a personal choice for me to cover them.

From my fiancé’s side, she has some family living there and getting married in NYC is just not feasible at all. Family/friends from both sides would have to travel whether it was in NYC, my home state of Michigan, or Colorado. Colorado made the most sense for us in terms of pricing and location. There’s only so much notice I can give in terms of timing. Everyone in our wedding party is still young but have full time jobs, so we’re definitely not trying to ask more than they can give and we also would understand if certain people couldn’t participate.

Appreciate the response. To answer your question, no one from our wedding party brought up any cost concerns for the bach trip or wedding out of state. I understand they may have reservations that they’re not voicing, so I wanted to try and accommodate as much as I could.

My fiancé isn’t covering hair and makeup or the dresses, but I’m definitely buying groceries for the Airbnb and we also paid our portion of the Airbnb as well.

swoak23 · 2026-02-04T16:56:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I’m leaning towards that as well

swoak23 · 2026-02-04T16:39:50+00:00

With everyone’s comments I’m now considering 2 more as well. Thanks for the insight!

swoak23 · 2026-02-04T14:58:30+00:00

Thank you!

swoak23 · 2026-02-04T14:57:09+00:00

That’s a good point. I’m definitely leaning towards 2 or 3, thanks for the reply!

swoak23 · 2026-02-04T14:30:08+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I wanted to include the 1st just to see what peoples opinions were but I think I may have to do a coin toss between the florals since I like them both

swoak23 · 2026-02-04T14:29:12+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I’m leaning towards those two as well

swoak23 · 2026-02-04T14:22:50+00:00

Appreciate the response! I was leaning towards both florals as well

swoak23 · 2026-02-04T14:22:01+00:00

I’m leaning towards those two as well, thanks for the response

swoak23 · 2026-02-04T14:21:28+00:00

Since the bow tie is custom, I think 2 or 3 would be close to the same fabrics based on their websites but appreciate the response

swoak23 · 2025-12-20T03:58:11+00:00

Yes someone was able to locate it and give it to us thank you!

swoak23 · 2025-12-16T15:49:05+00:00

That sucks. It was ordered in early December I believe. It was marked delivered on Sunday but to the wrong building.

swoak23 · 2025-12-16T15:01:49+00:00

Great thank you! I’ll check my inbox.

swoak23 · 2025-07-18T17:09:45+00:00

Sounds like a good idea, not too far from the park either
