My favorite - bows on dresses

Best trends: lots of stations at cocktail hour (I’ve gathered this is a venue thing, some venues are known for it). Worst trends: dancing between courses (NY-style reception) if there’s isn’t ample food at cocktail hour

like

Best: hot food station at the end of the evening (bring on the kimchi jjigae!). Worst: “creative” interpretations of “black tie”

Not having assigned seating!

@C1 omg this terrible trend. I went by myself to a friend's wedding and arrived a little late to the reception (it was in a city I was unfamiliar with so I got lost on my way from the wedding). There was no assigned seating and I ended up sitting with the estranged step family of the groom that I did not know well. There was a lot of passive aggressive comments that made me exceedingly uncomfortable. 😭😭

My stepmom threw me a very elaborate bridal shower. My stepsister pitched in and also did a lot of work for it. Bridesmaids helped but didn’t do a ton. What, if anything should I do for my stepmom and stepsister as a showing of gratitude? I don’t want to spend a lot of $$ but definitely want to act quickly and thoughtfully.

What is your total “wedding look” budget/est. spend? (Everything including dress, make up, jewelry, shoes, outfit changes, accessories, etc.). I have put so much emphasis on my looks (no regrets) and I actually just tallied up my spend and my head almost exploded. Frankly just seeking a little validation that I am not the only crazy person out there 🙃

Getting married in September, have a vax only policy for guests. My fiancé’s sister is bringing her unvaccinated spouse to the hotel where all the wedding festivities are being held b/c she is too scared to fly on an airplane without him. I find this incredibly uncomfortable and selfish given it will put me and my fiancé in an uncomfortable position (and it will also put my elderly parents and other vulnerable fam members at risk). Any ideas as to what (if anything) to do?

Any recommendations for good videographers in NYC/Tri-State? A lot of the affordable ones I find make the cheesiest videos. I’ve certainly found some good ones but very expensive. I know you get what you pay for, but there has to be someone reasonably priced out there that delivers quality work. I am splurging on the photographer so this would just be an extra.
