Hi ladies! For those who have made a bridesmaid proposal box to ask people to be in your bridal party, how much did you spend in total?

I had two bridesmaids and a MOH. I bought them all one of these: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1503435127/

Did you just ask this in another bowl. I think the concensus was pretty clear. Skip the bridesmaid box, just ask. When they say yes tell them you will be providing hair or makeup or dress ( or all of it). Or send them a note after they say yes if you aren't sure of what you will cover. Reducing the cost of them participating is always appreciated more. I also think gift boxes as an ask feels like you have to bribe them to say yes or it's like a prom ask.

Does anyone have any advise when it comes to navigating getting help and your firm. I had a tough month mentally. But I reached out to my local bar’s LAP. I’m starting the process of seeing a therapist. But my dreads still here. I’m panicking about being short on hours, falling behind on my cases and explaining to my boss I know I’m behind at work but I am working on it. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?

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.
