Hi ladies...I'm probably just in need of a little motivation here BUT I'm having serious issues with vendors respecting the fact that I am a full-time career woman.

I'm frustrated by the fact that even after I ask for an evening meeting, they are only offering one evening in the whole month of December that is available, but it's in my contract that we have to meet then....am I the only one is who flabbergasted that they assume I can just drop everything at work to run meet them at an odd time during the day?  (Im really surprised too since I didn't have ANY trouble getting evening meetings for my initial meetings and most of those were scheduled the week of!)

I'm really just finding everything about this planning rather stressful and could use a little inspiration and compassion...

Did you really just ask if anyone here has a job?

I can't get past that part.

I don't know I don't have a job. I spend the whole day planning weddings and meeting with vendors.

You don't even know what an internet troll is, do you?  You did not ask anyone for advice.  You just whined.  You are pathetic.

theartistformerlyknownas

World's quickest DD. And I think that's the first time I've ever been called a troll. I don't think you know what that word means.

Oh baby, you need help.

Less than an hour.

This DD has absolutely made my night.

Aw, I missed it!  

Not that there was all that much to miss though.

Okay I'm blind. Where does she say "does anyone have a job"?

If you're still reading, they run a business and need family time. They don't get paid overtime. I'd just try to make it work. There's nothing you can do.

Or, let's put it this way.  THEY have something YOU want.  YOU want to use them as a vendor.  If they are offering a night for a meeting (which - yay, that's what you need, right?), that's when you need to do it.  You asked for an evening meeting.  They gave you an evening for a meeting that is available.  I'm NOT surprised that they only have one evening available in December for meetings - December.  Prime party time.  For party vendors.

As a full-time career woman my own damn self, I'd say take it.

It said it in the title before she DD

southernbelle0915

1) yes - full time career oriented job
2) planned my wedding w/o a planner
3) planned it in a town on the other side of the state

Get a grip and stop watching so much reality TV. Wedding planning should not be that hard.

When you hit delete, we're all gonna flock to the thread. No one even "trolled" or got catty, I don't get the DD?

chibiyui

Gurl, you got 2 replies before you DD'd. That might have something to do with why you have a hard time adjusting to other peoples schedule.

@Sugargirl1019‌ the original title was "does anyone have a job and advice on working with vendors?"

I was hoping someone had posted this after I read the first two replies. I love this movie.

Not me. Was just a lonely maiden awaiting my handsome suitor on a white horse to whisk me away from my needlepoint to a life of luxury.

December is prime for any reception venue to be able to have events 7 nights a week due to Holiday Parties!  OP should be lucky she was even able to get 1 night during the month of December!

Well that plane went down fast.

I don't know what the rest of you are talking about but as soon as I got engaged I quit my job. Wedding planning became my job.  I mean it is the most important day of your life and you should focus solely on that.  Wedding planning > career.

Well obviously you don't take it that seriously if just YOU quit your job. I quit mine and then made all my bridesmaids quit theirs to make sure they had enough time for all their duties. It's MY big day, they should be pulling their weight to make it happen for me!

If I can plan a wedding in Australia, while working 40-50 hours a week in Colorado, traveling for work once a month and flying back to AZ to see my SO every weekend, then you can find a time to meet with your vendor.

But before that, you obviously have to make sure they have enough money in their bank accounts.  It's an HONOR and a PRIVILEGE to be your bridesmaid.  They need to devote all of their time AND money to do so.
