I thought I set some boundaries with my wedding since my fiancé and I are paying for everything. Now I’m getting more comments about why we didn’t invite some long lost cousin or family member… I don’t want to go bridezilla on people but I’m starting to see how it can happen 😂

"While we would love to celebrate with everyone, our venue can only accommodate ### of people."

I haven't sent out save the dates yet but am sooooo ready to say no to people. If they keep insisting, I would just slap them with a "fine, don't come then"

People are completely out of touch and have no idea how much weddings cost these days. Like no I don't want to pay $1k a head for some long lost cousin I've seen twice in my life.

Yep, also the added stress with additional folks, having to talk to more people and take photos or additional expectations

I invited 2 cousins I never speak with per my dad’s request but he told my uncle something to the effect that the we’d appreciate if the cousins could say no fairly early. Guess who just said yes (after my rsvp deadline when I chased them)? My cousins! I don’t want them there and I’m annoyed that my dad made me invite them and either didn’t get the message across (I should’ve done it myself) or my uncle didn’t take the hint. This happened yesterday so I’m still working on chilling about it lol

One of the big reasons I’m glad we are doing a destination wedding. We’re not paying per head so we can invite whoever we wants without financial restrictions

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.

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?

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!
