Help me stock our bar🤗 Our caterer provides the mixers and staff, but we have to buy the spirits. It’s a full open bar, and we know what number of handles we need, but I’m not sure what percent of those should be vodka, rum, etc. I’m also not sure what brands of liquor to purchase. For context, it’s a formal wedding, and most guests will be 25-30. We’re covered on the beer, wine, and seltzer front. TIA!

I just bought this for my recent wedding. About 100 drinkers, open bar. We had about 1 bottle left over of each, which was the goal (aimed to have leftover rather than not enough). The vodka went pretty fast.

Vodka Belvedere - 6
Gin tanqueray - 4
Whiskey Johnny walker - 2
Rum Bacardi - 3
Tequila patron - 3

I would recommend against Johnny walker as the only whiskey available - scotch will not go very well in most whiskey cocktails. Would recommend maybe 1 fifth scotch, 1 bourbon, 1 Irish but it depends on whether your crowd is whiskey drinkers or not.

First trimester insomnia?
I’m only about 5 weeks, but my sleep schedule has gone off the rail the last three nights. I’m sleepy/drowsy, settled in bed around the same time every night, and yet I cannot fall or stay asleep. I have a white noise machine, comfy bed, cool room.. etc. When I do fall asleep, it’s earlier in the morning and I sleep until 1/1:30pm. This was fine the first few nights since it was the weekend, but it can’t keep up. Anyone else experience this and have any recommendations?

Had a really bad day 😞 I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. Things will be going well and then out of nowhere I get blackout drunk. I am tired of feeling sick and anxious from drinking. I don’t really even want to drink sometimes but do it anyway. Blacked out last night, and still feel sick now. I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)
