Just started planning our wedding. We found a wedding planner and are meeting with them this week to discuss our “vision” but we wanted to get a head start and already found our top 3 venues but are trying to figure out estimation items so we can get a rough idea of how much we’d be spending/if we hit the minimum. Do any of you have a guide or can guide me in the estimation process? For example % spread for steak/chicken/fish, alcohol, how many would come. My side is 3hr ✈️ my fiancés is local.

We decided to do a photo session before the wedding for the two of us and family. The photographer and the location were amazing but the makeup was terrible, and because I was low on time, I couldn't fix it before the photos. The makeup artist make me look yellow!

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.

Thoughts on kindly asking your bridesmaids to please not give a gift? I am over the moon excited that my bridesmaids will be celebrating me and traveling for the wedding and bachelorette. I really do not want a gift from them at the wedding. Full disclosure, my fiancé and I have great paying jobs and my bridesmaids are grad students, artists, and teachers. How would you frame this? Even if they were millionaires I would not want a gift, but I don’t want it taken the wrong way.

Budget question! How much are you estimating spending per guest? This includes food/alcohol/venue, etc

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

Did you do any self care the night before your wedding to prepare for the big day?! 🤍
