    I don't have any recs for the horse and carriage but I'm a little confused.  You posted yesterday concerned because your guestlist is about 15 people over what you can afford to feed but you're looking to add an extra cost of horse and carriage?

    You could probably forgo the horse and carriage and then your guestlist issue would be solved.

    I have a certain buget for certain things, I am having A cinderella cake stand, candy bar photo booth ect. I went over board on the guest list, I don't want to cut in to something I really want, When These people are coming out of the wood works when they hear I am getting married eveything changing cuz of that. Ya know, I don't want to add in people who arn't gonna care anything 5 days after the wedding

    Seems to me you would want to cut other things so you can invite those extra guests. But obviously, if they mean nothing to you then you wouldn't have to. Having people there to celebrate should be the most important. And what the heck is a Cinderalla cake stand? A horse and carriage seems a bit too princessy. But then again, you are having a Cinderalla cake stand. I have no recs. GL with your search.

    ETA: I did not in any way mean for this to come off as snarky. I am just curious as to what a Cinderalla cake stand is.

    Also, About the guest list, I Can afford the amount I wanted I had the guest list made before I picked anywhere to go, Once the word got out about the wedding people who could care two Sh***s about us called and asked if they where invited and I was nt able to tell them no, I haven't spoken to you in a year, or 6 months or You made fun of my kid for being special needs . So yes I really do not want or like the "new comers" who invited theirselves to My wedding, Who will only make me watch their every move all damn night. Sorry if I sound bitchy But Im really sick at trying to make everyone else freaken happy on my wedding day and having to take out thngs that I WANT. To give everyone else something. LIke There are people who haven't spoken to me in months wanting to change my food, where I am getting my cake and even my damn colors. SO yeah They get get thrown out so I can have my Horse and carrage!

    Just some advice on people butting thier noses into your wedding.  when questions are asked give them vague answers.  If someone is not invited to my wedding is asking questions I change the subject quickly.  I also have come to say that nice but not what we want.

    It sounds like you want a wedding that everyone will remember and want everything perfect.  In all honesty, things will likely go wrong the day of and you'll just have to wing it.  Also, most of your guests won't remember the way anything looked even a few days after your wedding and as for years later?- won't happen.  Yes they may remember random parts (I still remember my uncles Star Wars ship grooms cake 7 years later and them walking into the reception to the theme song of Star Wars) but everything just won't happen; our brains are not set up that way.  I don't mean to sound rude or anything but it seems as though you will need to make some changes to accommodate everything that you want.

    People don't just invite themselves to other people's weddings. If you truly do not want them to attend, don't give them information about it and certainly don't cave after they "Invite" themselves.

    Have you talked to your fiance about the people inviting themselves?? Maybe he can make some suggestions or say something about you only having it in your budget to invite your closest family and friends.

    All in all it is you and your fiance getting married and making the decisions. Don't let other people tell you what colors you should have and make decisions on the food and cake.

    Though it is YOUR WEDDING as you say, it's not all about YOU. It should be about you and your fiance and the ultimate result being about the TWO OF YOU spending the rest of your lives together. Who cares about the friggen small stuff when it comes down to it?
    I personally would not want everything so theme oriented that it's too overwhelming. In the end who is going to remember the most about everything? Your guests??, probably not! You and your husband to be! And then you'll be kicking yourself for spending so much money to impress people.

    Whenever I get stressed about something I want or wish I could do or whatever, I just remember this is 1 day, 1 Day in what is going to be the rest of our lives together.  Do I want it to be nice yes but when it comes down to it I just want the part where the rest of our lives starts.
