I went to one in the burbs in summer 2021. It was pretty disappointing in that there weren’t many wedding vendors. They did have vendors for roofs, windows, blinds, house stuff lol. I think it took us 20-30 mins to talk to everyone we were interested in. Granted, this was still somewhat during Covid so maybe it’s better now?

Every vendor in attendance ended up getting our email so we were spammed with things we didn’t want (we created a wedding email which was helpful!). We “won” a couple packages but after looking into one of the companies it was pretty sketch and they basically wanted us to sit through a 2 hour presentation so we declined. We also won a makeup/pampering session but moved out of town so we declined.

There was a wine vendor there, PRP, and we purchased a package from them and it ended up being amazing. They have teams in our new state so it worked out perfectly! Also got a jewelry cleaner from one vendor which was nice! If you’re ready to book a photog or DJ during the event, you can save quite a bit of money.

Help- my FBIL is refusing to rent a tux for our wedding because he already owns one. It is a different tuxedo. We would like everyone in the same tux, which I don’t think is crazy to ask for? It’s not a financial issue and it’s not some sort of weird style. 11 other men will be in the rental, it will be obviously different. We’re paying a lot for formal pictures and while this isn’t a tragedy by any means, it is upsetting to my fiancé and I, especially as we ALWAYS go with everyone else’s flow.

Does anyone feel guilty about spending so much money on their wedding day?

On one hand I know it will be such a special day with all our family and friends. On top of that I feel like we hired incredibly talented people that will make the day awesome.
On the other hand, I feel like the costs keep adding up and while the our day is not putting us in debt I can’t help but feel a little guilt….

Help- my SIL showed me two dresses she rented for my shower, and I think they are super bridal/not very appropriate to wear as a guest or bridesmaid. I have asked others and they agree. I feel like my own outfit, a simple jumpsuit, pales in comparison to how over the top these dresses are. What can I say or do? 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.

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!

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.
