Can someone please explain how wedding rentals work and how far in advance you should reserve things?? Do you need to check with the venue on what you should rent and I’m assuming they will coordinate bringing things and taking them?

1. How far in advance: as early as you’re comfortable with once you’ve found what you want. I started reserving my rentals 10-12 months in advance and adding more as I decided on more.

2. Check with venue? Yes please do check what you have to rent. Like asap. You don’t want to find out a month in advance that they don’t have linens for the tables (if they need to be covered)

3. Coordination: depends on the venue and the rental company. My venue and rental folks were super accommodating and worked with each other to meet each others’ rules but I doubt that’s a guaranteed service across all vendors.

Agree with all of this. My venue did not do any set up. They put out the tables and chairs and that was it, so my coordinator had to do table cloths, centerpieces, etc. I can vary greatly by venue.

I was able to plan my wedding in 5 months. Spring weddings are popular so those dates get booked fast. If you don't want to deal with multiple vendors and outsourcing, I recommend using a hotel that provides a lot and has other in house vendors like for the cake, linens, etc.

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

We’re having an Indian wedding on a Sunday with ceremony in the morning, followed by lunch, and then cocktail hour + reception.

Given that the wedding starts early, we will have guests (~30) flying in the day before. What is the expectation in terms of arranging dinner for them? We’re trying to avoid having an additional event Saturday night - any idea on if these guests would need to have food arranged for them by us and what that could look like on a cost effective budget.

I feel really down but also don’t want to start WW3 by saying something to her. I feel like I now need to rush to buy a new outfit.
