Re: Hump Day Wednesday!

  • Vent: My MIL is inviting people to the RD that are not invited to the wedding. I am going to SCREAM!

    Confession: We have a lot more no's than we expected and we probably won't make our minimum for the venue.

  • Confess: my shower invitations have gone out, and I can't stop stalking my registries.  But it's also sort of annoying that we've become the house on the street that has 2-3 big boxes sitting outside when we get home from work, and the gifts shipped to our house have overtaken the guest bedroom.

    Jellybean - I'd be furious too about the RD!  Does your venue do anything if you can't meet your minimum?  We had to contract for a certain number of guests. If fewer attend, we'll still have to pay the contract price but we'll use the "extra" money for other catering servies (i.e. martini bar, toward the brunch the next day, etc).  If yours doesn't do that, maybe invite those FMIL RD guests to the wedding too?  Also, and I'm sure you've thought of this, but if you're having fewer tables than expected, make sure to let Carl Alan know to reduce the nubmer of centerpieces - at least you'll save there!

  • Confession: I've totally been ignoring my school work in favor of wedding planning and my grades are probably going to suffer because of it. I'm 4 weeks into the semester and I've hardly done anything. I need to get with it because I'm supposed to graduate in August, I can't afford to get back grades now!

  • @lauren - These people live in Boston! Our hotel block expires today and the date on the RSVPs is Friday. Plus we don't want them there. She can look like the jerk that she is. We are only 3 short on the minimum so not sure that would cover any upgrades. But I will be letting CA know we have fewer tables!

  • Confession: I got my shoes so I decided to try on the dress with them to make sure they weren't to tall for it since it was a sample and I wasn't able to add extra fabric. I could barely fit in it :( . It took my sister at least ten minutes to zip it up and I looked like a stuffed sausage and I could barely breath. I know I still have six months until the wedding to get off the extra weight, and it fit when I bought it so I know I can fit it again. But it really hurt my feelings, and was very discouraging. :(.

    Vent: I know that no one cares about your wedding as much as you do but now that I an planning in earnest NO ONE wants to talk to me about it not even FI. And I try to keep wedding talk to a minimum, but if we are talking about me that is really the only new thing I've got going on in my life so it's all I have to talk about lol.

  • Hope it's OK for a male counterpart to crash the party. 

    Confession: I am really enjoying helping plan for our wedding.  Not all, but a lot of my buddies think I'm crazy for it.  I feel somewhat weird that I'm not the typical uninvolved fiance but I really get excited when we book a vendor or when I think about it all coming together.  I like knowing that the things we're deciding, we're deciding as a couple.  

    Vent: As you may be able to tell from my Rehearsal Dinner posting today, we're trying to find something on a limited budget.  Future in-laws decided to buy their retirement house and put my fiance's childhood home on the market.  They make settlement in May.  We knew this was coming but we were told/promised it would happen after the wedding.  In short, she was devastated that she'd be the only daughter to not get ready for her wedding in her home (major tears ensued) not have the "coming down the steps to daddy in the dress" photo, etc.  With high upcoming taxes and empty nest we know it makes sense for them and we're very happy for them, but I'm still very annoyed they changed their mind after we set our budget and made some plans.  We also have to have the ceremony at Old Saint Mary's now instead of her parish in Ambler where she received all sacraments (she was equally upset with this).  We were also going to have a catered RD at her home which, not only is a gorgeous place, but also was going to be VERY economical.  Now we have to fork out $1000-$2000+ extra for a RD in town, another $1000-$1500 for "donation" to downtown church, rework contract with photographer, and extra for additional hotel night.  To top it off, her parents seemed very upset when we told them we were nixing the home parish.  Hatfield bride prep, Maple Glen ceremony, down town reception is just not feasible.  That's like 12 hours of coverage for photog for time and distance allowance, $$ for transportation for everything, and extremely inconvenient for RD and out-of-towners (who make up most of the wedding party).  The biggest thing is that she is upset and I hate seeing her upset.  There's not a thing I can do about it either.  I already moved engagement shoot, with her agreement, from Charleston (we live in the south) to her childhood home so she can have some kind of "wedding memory" in her room she grew up in, porch swing she used to sit and read, etc.  But I feel like nothing can replace what she's losing.  

    I feel a little better now!  Thanks!

    So sorry to hear about your future in laws selling the house before the wedding. I'd be devastated too if I were your fiance and it's definitely really frustrating from a financial point of view as well! It's very sweet how involved you are in the planning and also how upset you are getting for her. I wish my FI was into wedding planning, but he could honestly care less, haha. He just says, "If you're happy, I'm happy."

    I can relate to your vent a little bit. Some of the people closest to me aren't showing much interest in my wedding and it hurts my feelings a little. I get that nobody is as excited as we are, but my best friend literally hasn't said a single thing about it since I got engaged. I do have one close friend who's really interested, and FI at least tries to pretend to be, lol... and then I have another close friend who's busy planning her own wedding but she still asks about mine occasionally, so I'm not totally alone... but I kind of wish my best friend and my sisters cared at least a little bit. These people are the candidates for my MOH, for crying out loud.

    As far as trying on your dress and having it not fitting, that is the worst feeling ever. I totally get being upset and a little discouraged but at least you realize that you can lose the weight in 6 months. Take advantage of our new Tuesday health and fitness check ins to motivate yourself... that's my plan! If you can get the dress on, you obviously don't have too much to lose, so you can definitely do it in 6 months, no problem!

    I finally changed my FB status to engaged and after posting "congrats"  this same FB friend, unfriended me and blocked me...weird. I told my FI and of course he said "don't worry about it you'll never figure out why she did it unless you ask her and you two aren't even that close so, is it worth it?"...He had a point but I was just like "wow"...And now I feel bad that I "think" it's because she's jealous beacuse she just had her 3rd baby with the third "baby daddy" and he broke up with her while she was like 7 months pregnant...

    That is really weird, but if you aren't that close, I wouldn't worry about it. She very well could be jealous, especially with the situation she's in. I actually have a friend that has 3 kids with 3 different guys and she's not with any of them anymore. It makes for a lot of complicated situations with custody, child support, etc. I bet your friend has gone through a lot of it and she wishes she were in your position instead. However, it's really super weird that she'd unfriend you and block you. If she doesn't want to see your posts, she could always just hide you from her news feed. People are so strange sometimes.

  • Here's my vent. 

    My mother is making me crazy. She's my best friend and she's bending over backwards for our wedding (she's paying 95% of it, fiance and I are covering small things), but she's making me insane on a semi-daily basis.

    The reason she's making me crazy is she KNOWS how expensive things are since we got an itemized and budgeted spreadsheet from our wedding planner 5 months ago. Now that it's time to actually pay for these things, she's like "Well, SURELY we can find something cheaper." Yes, of course we could probably find something cheaper . . . but we've budgeted $X for this item, not half of $X, and you were ok with the budget 5 months ago . . . are you changing your mind?

    Ex: We contacted an invitation lady and we got quotes for invitations ranging from $6.00-6.25 per invitation suite. (As background, we told the woman our budget was $6 per invitation, so she's pretty much right on target.) We receive the invitation PDFs and my mom is like, "Why are they $6? When I got married they cost $X. Surely we can find someone who can do better than $6 per invitation." First of all, we have like 5 cards in the invitation suite because of HER guidelines (separate reception card, separate brunch card, etc.). Second, it's not relevant what you paid 30 years ago! Third, we budgeted for $6 per invitation on the spreadsheet!

    Ok, rant over.

    PS - I feel like every single thing I write on this board should be followed with a "firstworldproblems" hash tag.

  • I have another Vent. I just got my STDs from vistaprint and they SUCK! I ordered a primary batch 2wks ago to make sure I liked them and and the wording was clear. I LOVED them when I got them, made some minor changes and ordered the big batch. I just got them and the color is faded, and there are streaks and smudges! I called them and they were really nice and ordered me a new batch right away with upgraded shipping but UGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! I am already late sending these out and now I am worried about this batch coming out right!

  • Vent: I haven't said this to anyone yet but my FI REALLY frustrating me.  He has yet to save any money for the wedding and just last night told me that he plans on "loaning" my brother money so that he can attend the bachelor party.  WTFFFFF.  The best part is everytime I mention to him that he needs to start saving, he calls me a Debbie Downer!! 

    Confession:  I am completely obsessed with my wedding dress.  I am worried tha when it comes in I will have the urge to try it on every day.  I mean, I look at the picture of it every day!  haha.
  • Vent: I'm annoyed that it's taking me so long to book the rest of my vendors because I have to work around everyone else's schedules when making appointments. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm very glad that my parents & FI are this interested, but it's so hard to coordinate everyone's schedules. I'm also pissed that I'm getting sick again.

    Confession: I'm more excited for the honeymoon than I am the wedding.

I do have one close friend who's really interested, and FI at least tries to pretend to be, lol... and then I have another close friend who's busy planning her own wedding but she still asks about mine occasionally, so I'm not totally alone... but I kind of wish my best friend and my sisters cared at least a little bit. These people are the candidates for my MOH, for crying out loud.

    <div>I can get on board with this. I get asked about my wedding almost every day at work from people who may or may not be invited. Yet, my BMs rarely say anything to me about it. I thought for sure I'd get a text from them when they received the STD. My parents seem less than enthused every time I bring up something WR. I just keep telling myself to let it go, it's really not a big deal. But it still bothers me :-/</div>

    <div>Haha! I feel the same way. That's why I only feel comfortable talking about this stuff on the boards. I guarantee I'd get lots of eye rolls if I brought this up IRL.</div>

    SERIOUSLY!!! I totally agree. 100%. I email them to ask how they're doing, they're like "Oh, I'm great! Let's get together!" but then when I email them about something wedding-related (I swear, it's like once every couple of weeks, if not once a month) - radio silence. Like, nothing.
