Make sure you vibe w the person because you spend the most time with them on Avg the entire day. Have your hit list of family photos ready and just go go go. Decide if you’re cool w them getting all the shots and being in front of everyone to get that shot or more in the background (mine was in your face but she captured amazing photos). Have $$ to tip them and their assistants and be prepared to pay for their meal as well!

Thank you!

How much do you tip photographers?

Find someone who actually does weddings. Ours was amazing and wound up single handedly keeping us on schedule throughout the reception (reminding us when to cut the cake, first dance, etc). We also both met with her in advance to go over the schedule and get comfortable with each other, which I def recommend.

Downloaded the “Days” app. No frills, no extras. Just a number staring you in the face. I’ve made it almost habitual to open and check... even multiple times a day when I know the day counter hasn’t changed, but it’s helping and encouraging. Each day is a sense of accomplishment and a win over the pull of my own thoughts. Forcing my willpower into further restraint. 10 days strong so far.

Additional Posts in The Wedding Bowl

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.

I got engaged recently and I don’t want a wedding, so it will likely be courthouse. However, I’m toying around with the idea of a close girlfriends party (not sure whether it’s a bridal shower or bachelorette type of thing). New to this so bear with me. I have really close friends across 2 continents and that would mean having two separate events/ party. Has anyone here had a similar thing where you didn’t have a wedding event but a separate party for friends? How did you pull that off? TIA.
