We’re doing our reception at a local restaurant and they quoted us $9 per person for a cake cutting fee. Is it just me or is that excessive? At 40 people that’s an extra $360 not even including the cake…

For all those that have taken on a trainee to team up: what do you think is a fair split?

Do you think there will be another housing bubble burst in the near future due to COVID? Assuming relative job security, would that be an opportune time to invest in Manhattan real estate?

Are there even any FDD type jobs in Pittsburgh? Been hard pressed trying to find.

Anyone have a primary care physician they like in NY? Ideally one who integrates holistic medicine as well as western medicine? Bonus points if they’re on Cigna or take insurance.

Hi Fishes,
Should one resign only after background verification is done by the new company?

Has anyone done a PCNA assessment before for a job interview? Pretty much I ace this, the job is mine. Stressing because I’ve never done one before 😰

Medical Malpractice Lawyer Recommendations in NYC? For post-surgery blindness due to eye infection

Hi! Anyone have any recommendations for the best sites or platforms to resell clothes? Some are gently used and some are brand new.

What’s the cheapest India calling service? (I currently use Vonage and it is expensive $30/mon without promotional offer and $18/mon with promotional offers)

If you’re working with a freelance recruiter/ headhunter but know of open positions outside the ones they’ve brought to you, is it best to reach out to the agencies yourself or through the recruiter?

Any recommendations on a good side hustle or part time job? Trying to buy a house (yes I know the economy sucks right now) and it’s been tough saving with a SW salary.

Does 2-finger touchpad scroll not work on Excel sheets anymore? I used to be able to swipe quickly on my laptop's touchpad to navigate sheets but now it doesn't work. Based on the handful of posts I've read online about it, the problem seems unresolved. Has anyone dealt with the same issue and fixed it?

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

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good premarital counselor in NYC or NJ?

Did you have someone doing hair/makeup for bridesmaids or did you have them do their own? And were you glad you made the decision you did? I’ve been in weddings both ways and trying to decide what I want to do

Putting together a wedding weekend itinerary and have been dealing with a frustrating level of questions from some random in-laws who are known for stirring the pot. Would it be rude to say “please contact x with any questions. Kindly do not direct questions to the bride unless there is an emergency”? What is a better way to say this?

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.

I just got engaged on Sunday (!!) and my ring is just a little big. I’m reading online that most jewelers won’t resize a rose gold ring. Has anyone had any issues with this? I could go back to the family jeweler who designed the ring and would do it for free but the ring was designed in Michigan and I live in Chicago. Is it worth it to drive to Michigan to get it taken care of there?

We’re having a destination wedding and I feel selfish/silly for taking a honeymoon after. But I feel like if we don’t do it then we will put it off and it won’t really feel like a “honeymoon”. What would you do?

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. What, if anything should I do for my stepmom and stepsister as a showing of gratitude? I don’t want to spend a lot of $$ but definitely want to act quickly and thoughtfully.

Considering getting highlights and/or extensions for my wedding. Is it worth it? Or is it a bad idea to update your hair for the wedding?

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?

What is your total “wedding look” budget/est. spend? (Everything including dress, make up, jewelry, shoes, outfit changes, accessories, etc.). I have put so much emphasis on my looks (no regrets) and I actually just tallied up my spend and my head almost exploded. Frankly just seeking a little validation that I am not the only crazy person out there 🙃

Curious to hear everyone's "expectations" versus "reality" for their wedding day?
There's such an expectation around one's wedding day but not much discussion around how it's different from it

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 😂

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.

Can I do a mother of bride dress appointment the same time after my bride fitting? It'll just be my mom coming to the appointment. Or should I do hers right after I finish my appointment?

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! Idk if there's anything that could be done at this point, but feeling so disappointed :(

Anybody not excited about the wedding? I want to get married to my fiancé but I can’t get excited to pay so much for one day…. I feel bad that I’m not more excited but it’s just so stressful

Fun question: what are the best and the worst wedding trends you’ve seen?

How much did everyone spend on their wedding planner? We’re planning a Fall wedding in Europe with ~80 people and want a full service planner, have been quoted 9-15K and want to see if this is reasonable! TIA
