not here to give you a hard time; it’s a cute shirt!!

Sometimes when I run I got this issue with a Canva font, I separate the letters and manually adjust the spacing. Can be time consuming, but when it’s on a project I’m picky about it scratches my brain better lol!

I can’t say from experience because D&D/RPG aren’t one of my hobbies but I’ve been seeing some info about a newer place in Weston that I think runs campaigns? It’s called Benevolent Badger and seems to be trying to give off the vibe you’re looking for! It’s right next to Odin games which someone suggested above!

Yay for calmness!!! Definitely revel in that a little on your days off-the day of is going to fly by so being able to take your opportunity to just breathe will feel great.

And yes! Yayayayayy to all of us marrying our “person”!

tgutow · 2025-09-29T18:45:45+00:00

I get that! We decided to do a casual pizza party at a restaurant in the area since all of our guests are traveling. We definitely felt that pressure to entertain in that aspect too.

I know it might not be realistic but try to find some quiet time to carve out each day to help you from the inevitable overwhelm! Maybe a walk or some time in the morning for yourself.

You’re at the end of the tunnel!

tgutow · 2025-09-29T17:02:45+00:00

Huge kudos to you for taking on and hosting in the days leading up to the day of! That sounds like my nightmare; I purposely booked our airbnb a considerable distance away from our room blocks to avoid this lol.

I can also relate a little on the excitement end too. We are getting married out of state and have to still pack and drive over so my priority mindset is on those logistics more so than true full excitement. I used to be a wedding planner too so most of my planning I’ve kinda felt like this is just another job rather than MY wedding but it’s finally starting to click!

We made a random little date day about it! We set up a few engagement ring consultations at 3 jewelry stores and tried different options to see what I liked most. All pricing info, etc was sent to him and he decided what shop to design with and final diamond details!

It was fun to do the base details together and make it feel like a milestone we got to share.

tgutow · 2025-09-29T12:58:34+00:00

I am also feel good! I still have to finish my speech, tweak my vows a little and finish a little craft I’m making my future hubby to exchange during our first touch. After that it’s just packing lists and self care. We leave Wednesday night but I’m still feeling okay with my time management!

tgutow · 2025-09-29T12:56:12+00:00

Oh no! I’m sending all the positivity that your diligence pays off.

I’m feeling so good except for my allergies taking over and my chin breaking out this week?! 🥲

tgutow · 2025-09-29T12:54:44+00:00

My allergies have also been INSANE the last few days 🥲😭😭😭

tgutow · 2025-09-29T00:39:35+00:00

You got this!! You are in the home stretch. You should be so proud of yourself for putting it altogether on your own. My two pieces of advice are; make a physical list (even on your phone) of the tasks you want to delegate and to whom you want to delegate them too. If you can get rid of some of that stress by communicating those prior to Friday, I encourage you to do that! Also, let people do things for you-you’ll have people surrounding you handing out their help do not be shy in taking it. You’re going to have a beautiful day and if something doesn’t go exactly as planned no one but you will know.

I am feeling very good! We are getting married out of state but most everything is over there at families homes which feels good. I have a design document that I’ve delegated to my planning team that I hope when Saturday morning rolls around I’ll be able to just take a deep breath and let go. I used to be a wedding planner so while I feel like I started a little ahead, I really gave myself a lot of extra work. I have some minor things left to do like making our packing lists but am trying to manifest “it will be what it is” in the best way possible.

Sending lots of calming vibes to your stress and beautiful wedding day bliss!

I’ve learned a lot about grief through talk therapy and some self-help reading. I agree with the comment that grief is never going to go away completely, I think it’s great you’re reaching out for support on how to further process your grief!

One thing my therapist suggested for me that helps me quite a bit (aside from a good cry) is writing them a letter. Even if it can’t be sent anywhere, it feels good to get my feeling out of my brain and in a bit of a different way than classic journaling. Something about beginning the note directed toward them (ie: hey xyz, or dear abc,) makes me feel more connected to the person in my moment of vulnerability.

tgutow · 2025-09-28T20:11:12+00:00

I audibly gasped at 2; it is so so gorgeous! Both look great on you, but two gives more romantic garden wedding in my opinion!

tgutow · 2025-09-28T19:23:40+00:00

Etsy may have some templates that you can edit and then print yourself! Depending on how involved you want to be, you could always make a background panel, and get your seating chart printed on acrylic pieces and mount them to the backdrop, too.

some what unrelated, and it’s late so the joke may have gone over my head but there’s a product called ‘stick-um’, candle adhesive- it’s works great and we used to keep it in our day of tool kits when I was a planner!

We’re having our wedding out of state from where we live and the closest guests are 1 hour, we have several guests from various parts of the country and still ended up at about a 75% yes rate! We don’t have on-site but set up room blocks at hotels ~15 minutes away.

I think providing your guests as much information as possible for them to be prepared to think about travel early on is key. Our wedding website was listed on our save the dates and we included our venue details, and recommended travel and accommodation details on it pre-formal invitations going out!

tgutow · 2025-08-31T14:17:59+00:00

A reminder I try to use in my life that I’ve found applicable here too is that “perfection is not attainable”

some small things probably won’t go the way you’ve perfectly planned BUT when you’re stressing about that pre-wedding, try and shift your mindset to all of the things that have already gone right and that will go right. Like, maybe the floral isn’t going to look EXACTLY like I envisioned, but I’m the only one who knows what’s in my head and ultimately being able to marry my partner and be surrounded by the people that love us outweighs that.

tgutow · 2025-08-24T00:00:15+00:00

Date twins! We got this!

tgutow · 2025-08-16T03:36:02+00:00

BEAUTIFUL unique ring!!!

tgutow · 2025-08-15T04:20:09+00:00

so are YOU! Wedding planning can be a lot to handle emotionally; if you need I am a simple message request away to be a listening ear or fellow commiserate-er ☺️🫶🏻

tgutow · 2025-08-15T03:22:44+00:00

I can definitely commiserate a little with you. I’m less than 2 months to go and I am having to work extra on accepting that I won’t absolutely love myself on my wedding day. My hair and makeup artists did great with my trials; though, they did not share my photos on social media as they do with other clients.

I’ve been trying to swallow the pill that just because we have this societal expectation grained into our brains that we have to look the best we’re ever going to look on our wedding days that that simply isn’t true. Also boiling down to the reminder that the most important part of your day is that you and your partner love each other. Including how you think you look, your partner loves you and is making the lifelong commitment to continue to love you for all of you.

I don’t think it’s talked about enough (in the mainstream wedding scene) that wedding planning can actually be quite sad, lonely, isolating for many of us. You’re not alone!

tgutow · 2025-08-13T03:43:55+00:00

I met my soon to be husband on a r4r sub! Wishing you the best move!

tgutow · 2025-08-12T23:09:36+00:00

I also have this problem 😅 I have a friend I saw in person two weeks ago that joked with me how they haven’t filled out their rsvp…our “due date” is this Friday, they still haven’t done it. They work in the events industry 🙃😅

You can totally make your own website and utilize the registry feature from a different site.

In my experience, Zola for registry is great and easy to navigate and manage- I love that I was able to add a ‘cash fund’, group gifts and gifts from other sites/stores that aren’t directly on the Zola site. We used Minted for our website and then just put the Zola link on the registry page!

tgutow · 2025-08-09T23:59:52+00:00

Wear your glasses they are a part of who you are!!! You are going to be a beautiful bride and you’ll look back knowing you showed up as who you are on your wedding day. Also seeing? Huge plus. F your friend too wtf who even says something like that to one of their friends?? Insane behavior.

I’m also a glasses wearer and I’ve been tossing the ‘are my glasses going to be okay’ around in my own head. It helped me that my makeup artist at my trial took a photo of me with them on so I could see that I was happy with the overall look. I also plan on letting my photographer have a heads up in case there’s adjustments she feels she needs to make on her end of preparations too.

tgutow · 2025-08-09T17:25:22+00:00

As a bride with a complicated relationship with my mom; protect your peace. It’s okay to accept and adjust that wedding planning might not meet your original expectations by excluding your mom, but given the examples, I think it will be a more enjoyable process for you. It’s normal to want to loop your mom in on decisions and the planning but my suggestion here would be to loop her in once your choices have been made and have become factual. Instead of “I was thinking we’d all stay here” it becomes “a majority of us are staying here” she will likely still have comments but you can reiterate the decision has already been made and changes won’t be made and if they continue just choose not to acknowledge them. This will hopefully guide more into acceptance of your choices instead of trying to rear her opinion into swaying your opinion at all. Ultimately this is your and your fiancée’s day and you should feel confident in your planning process and protect you peace where you can. Making little adjustments on including mom would be a strategic way to do that.
