Re: Already Wedded in Hometown, Working on Reception Where We Live

Reply by AroundTheBlock · October 2013 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

If the replies you have received here have discouraged you from having a get-together with your friends and made you decide not to generourously offer your time and energy to make the arrangements, and to generously provide the appetizers, then your social group will be the poorer for it. And diminishing acts of social…
Re: POLL: previous relationships

Reply by Sue-n-Kevin · December 2010 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› Michigan-Detroit

Have you ever been engaged/married before? I had definite wedding plans when I was 21 (OK, waaaaay back in 1976), but he had moved to Massachusetts and called it off. Has your FI/DH ever been engaged/married before? Married twice, both times when he was a "lonely serviceman" in other countries and while he has 3 lovely…
Re: Grad School Plans After the Wedding

As a teacher, you have a lot of options! You can do online courses at your local university, or you can enroll in Masters programs which run over the summers. Or, you can do it part time (one class a semester). I'm a teacher too, and I went ahead and got my Masters in a year. If you're working now, why not take a leave of…
Re: DJ

Reply by JN382 · September 2011 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› New York

Welcome! I found the DJ to be the toughest part, just because we were worried a bad dj could make or break the party. When researching DJ's, we found they were all in the same range of approx. $895-$1200 for 4-5 hours. If you don't have "extras" like lighting, additional hours, karaoke, etc., you can save. I recently…
Re: Health insurance rant

Reply by Future Mrs Butterworth · November 2009 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Woes

Sometimes you can offer them less if you can give it to them in a lump sum. I'd start out low. Say you can give them (if your total bill is $950) $450 if they will call it even, you'll hand over the cash now, and write the bill as paid in full. Hospitals do this a lot because they're usually still making a profit, and it's…
Re: Caterers

Reply by greeneke2 · May 2011 · Home› Wedding Month Club Boards› May 2012 Weddings

Neither my venue nor my caterer supplies them. And the only rental place in town, although not necessarily expensive...when you add everything up it is. Its going to be almost $850 just for dinner plates, salad plates, bread and butter plates, utensils, water goblets and champagne flutes. This doesn't include all the…
Re: A bit of a situation- need advice

Maybe swing the idea by him and see what he says ... I went to Vegas with FI back in 2009 flight, hotel for 2 people including insurance package for 6 nights was $950 altogether. That was for 6 nights 7 days ... only going 3 nights would be cheaper I think if financially it could be done and your man of honor is cool do…
Re: Christmas presents

We are fairly big LL Bean people. I love my 850 jacket I got 2 years ago. The peacoat is comfy and warm too. DH loves their shirts and his winter coat from them. It's the first time I've received one of their sweaters. I definitely love the cashmere one. It was so comfy. Might have to get another one. My sister use to…
Re: Help I need a Maggie Sottero Claudette

Reply by ErinMurphy0329 · October 2009 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Attire & Accessories Forum

The thing is that I had already bought another dress, but in the end it just isn't perfect for me and I am sad about it. I am looking to spend around $850-$900 but new from the store it is $1200... If I can sell my other dress for even $750 I wouldn't mind paying full price I just can't justify buying two dresses. If…
Re: photography...

Reply by DandT1206 · April 2010 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› New Jersey

we used Visual Image: we got all day from 11am until 11pm, 1 photographer took about 950 pics, we get our album, plus 2 parent albums (same as ours, just a little smaller), an 11x14, 2 8x10s, online proofs plus proofs on a disk (copyrighted), and 144 thank you cards. I'm going to try to get the rights to the pictures…
