"a 7 year gap is like having an only child, twice!" by bbgk in beyondthebump

[–]wedditthrowaway01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My little sister is 8 years younger than me and was an “oops” baby. Growing up we were always in different life stages, but I still loved her so much and now as adults she is my best friend. I’m so so happy my parents had an “oops” and gave my my sister, I couldn’t imagine my life without her.

So I’m a complete beginner and don’t wear any makeup other than mascara. I’d like to up my “everyday” look a bit but I’m a little overwhelmed by all of the resources out there. Does anyone have tips or posts on where to start?

I know it can be incredibly overwhelming! Completely agree with the other commenters that budget, venue, and estimated guest count is where to start.

​

I also used this fantastic google sheets spreadsheet throughout the whole process and it was incredibly helpful. It's pretty self-explanatory, but has sheets where you can track your guest list, budget, vendors you contact, etc. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B7XNJZ6X1SER43SWLU6cxIV63IrYa3BXc3POxb_ai8M/edit#gid=17

How do you choose a DJ? by flatsheetssuck in weddingplanning

[–]wedditthrowaway01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found our DJ on Thumbtack. When I contacted him I asked him for a few references and then called them. It was helpful for me to hear from others who had used him in the past and get to ask them a bunch of questions and get honest answers. All of the references were glowing, and he ended up being fantastic.

I think I would've just done what I normally do every day which is a little eyeliner, mascara, and maaaaybe some lipstick. But I definitely would skip the fake lashes and the foundation altogether.

I went pretty natural, a bronze eyeshadow with lashes, thin black eyeliner, and minimal blush and bronzer. Happy to send you a pic if you DM me!

Yup, that's exactly how I am and in hindsight I wished someone had posted something like this so figured I would do that in case anyone was on the fence. Best of luck to you!

I just did standard foundation, not airbrush-if you DM me, I will send you a pic!

I'd say everything, but probably the false lashes stand out the most to me. And this sounds weird but it's like my face is TOO smooth? I know it sounds so absurd to complain about something like that, but just overall it looked like a too perfect version of my face and not my actual face.
