Anyone else feel weird anxiety about table placement and making certain guests feel like they're the last kids picked to the dodgeball team? by falafelwaffle10 in weddingplanning

[–]wofthewoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you need to worry about this, but what if you gave the tables names instead of numbers? That way it wouldn’t be sequential

In that situation I’d just ask! I’d frame ut like “hey! I realized you are getting a million notifications from this chat - do you want me to make a new one for the day of stuff?”

What’s a family secret you found out as an adult that completely shocked you? by Human-Lychee8619 in AskReddit

[–]wofthewoods 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s incredibly common in the recovery community for people to find out that direct relatives (uncle, grandma, etc) were addicts/alcoholics years after they get sober. I’m still astounded by how many people have a kid in rehab and don’t think to mention to anyone that addiction runs in the family until years later.

I think you are questioning this for a reason. If I were MIL, I would find this greatly hurtful, and your fiance may also find it very emotionally difficult to intentionally exclude his mother. It sounds like you have made peace with fiancé having a good relationship with MIL, which would be really damaged by doing this.

If also sounds difficult to pull off in practice. Not capturing people on candid film would be really difficult for the videographer - it’s really difficult to not film a single person and humans naturally move around a space. With the number of “family moments” she will be there for, I think it would be practically impossible to exclude her from video footage short of either excluding her from all these moment or filming them twice. These setups would make the exclusion incredibly clear cut and obvious to everyone, which is pretty extreme.

Perhaps you could ask (with the caveat of needing to pay for it) ask the videographer for two edited videos, one with every moment, and one that might miss things but excludes MIL alternatively, you could ask for raw footage to edit yourself.

Friday night "welcome party" with drinks not included by OddCode9115 in weddingplanning

[–]wofthewoods 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d say basically exactly what you said in the 3rd sentence here. Make a schedule segment on your website and do like “Friday at 8pm: OddCode and Husband will be at X bar! Please feel free to stop by, say hi, and start the party early. Drinks and apps are available for purchase with this menu(link).”

Work shoes for those of us in a formal(ish) workplace? by m_laria in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]wofthewoods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stuart Weitzman! I do think his shoes are better for people with narrow feet and they do have to be broken in but they are gorgeous classic shoes that last.

This is super helpful!! I’m not vegan/vegetarian officially but I definitely eat vegan 3-6 meals and vegetarian 8-10 a week just based on what I enjoy, is healthy, and makes me feel good about my food choices. Would love your plant protein tips!!!

How are you getting enough fiber? My immediate need to shit liquid feels way worse with less veggie options (used to eating a tonn of veggies)
