What would you do?: I scheduled a tour with a venue within my price point on Thursday of last week for today. It was made through email. We drove an hour to get to the venue today and checked in with the front desk. They called the event coordinator and she didn’t answer. They called a couple more times and no answer. Then another staff came over to us and said we weren’t in the coordinators calendar. I showed them the email of us arranging the showing and the coordinator asked if Sunday at 11

Staff Accounts,

Where state do you work in?
How long have you been there?

For those of you without a home office: Where do you usually work? My desk is in my bedroom and I’m considering sacrificing aesthetic to move my set up elsewhere

I got power and internet back last night but I have no pressing matters so my bosses don’t need to know that 🫣🤫

My boss refuses to take my advice and update our website, which is stuck in the 2010s. Why hire a marketer if you won't allow any changes to our marketing?

Do we know if our comp statements come out with the US firm on 3rd June?

What will be the hike % for M leval in EAS IPM ?

Hello,

My joining date with CTS is on 5th dec, i received message from CTS like onboarding pass not generated. When i try to reach out to HR , they are not responding.

Sent email to HR.

Any suggestions please??

as an analyst how do I network and maintain connections with external orgs (clients and more so buyers) after the deal has closed? I have their contacts of course but do I add them on LinkedIn after? Is is better to maintain connections w the junior team and how should I go about it w senior management? This is for general networking not that I’m trying to hop to a PE/other org immediately. TIA!

What pre wedding beauty/wellness regimens are you doing leading up to your wedding?! I’ll be treating myself to monthly facials; orange theory 1-2 a week and will be doing a keto diet a few months before the big day 💞 wish me luck 😅

Anyone unsure of what to do for bridesmaids “proposals?” I want them to get excited and feel special but when I see how much money I’d be spending on things like custom totes or mugs I’m like is it really worth it? I’d send cards but most of my bridal party I see pretty regularly/they live nearby so it seems odd to send them something when I live down the street. Help! 😅

Looking for solid bridesmaid dress recommendations with a good color, design, and size range!

Is a hair and makeup trial really necessary? It seems like such a waste of money.

How much are y’all spending on your videographer and what all are they providing?

I don't wear a lot of makeup - how far in advance from the ceremony should I be getting it done? Is having it all done 2 hrs before the ceremony too late or too early? I'm not getting pictures done until ceremony and after. Thanks!

Guest list stress 😖😖 how many did y’all invite vs how many came?!

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 :(

Tux budget NYC?

Are you paying for bridesmaid hair and make-up? Was a little sticker shocked $200 per person before gratuity, just adds up quickly with that many people😬 Not requiring it but wanted to offer it if they want to be more glammed up, but now seeing online that’s it’s considered quite rude to not cover it for them? Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!

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.

Budget friendly bridesmaid proposals if you’d still like to give a small token in addition to a card?

If I got married on a Sunday, could I use the flowers from the wedding the night before? (Anything they were going to leave behind like hanging installations) Seems like a waste for that decor to be trashed and an opportunity to pay it forward. Has anyone done this?

So, we have a wedding registry and my fiance and I would really like people to stick to gifting us what's on that registry. Yet, people keep asking what they should get us. The thought of dealing with a ton of crap we don't want or need is stressing me out. How can I politely tell people to only buy what's on the registry?

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 🙃

Thoughts on uneven bridal parties? I would have 5 vs my fiancé having 3 people.

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

My partner and I are planning to elope. We want the wedding and the trip that will go with it to be for us. That being said, we want to throw a party of some kind to celebrate with our friends. We're pretty lost as far as the general etiquette around this goes. Do you have to tell venues it's for a "wedding" reception? Is it expected that we will still make a gift registry?
