Word of advice - If you're considering spending the extra money on a quality vendor, do it. Several of my vendors did not care about making my day special, and they ruined the experience. Budgets are important, but make sure you weigh the pros and cons. I'm stuck with that memory forever.

What about the experience was ruined, if you don’t mind me asking?

Ugh yeah. I feel your pain. When people ask about my wedding day all I can think of is the stress. But our guests had a blast and the paperwork was signed, so I guess that’s good.

For reference, in total, for everything wedding related, including honeymoon, we spent over 45K. We had about 86 guests. The cost alone for ceremony and reception made up about 21K of that. Each vendor was between 1-3k.

My vendors:

3500 photographers
2800 dj mc
4500 florist

North Jersey
150 guests for upcoming May . Sorry ur vendors were bad

I’m a young(ish) male running a private practice. Been with the group a year and a half and haven’t exactly gelled with some of the older employees. We’ve made tremendous financial improvements but in a meeting last night one of the physicians stated, in front of me, maybe we shouldn’t have hired a young guy to run the practice….I can’t think of a more passive aggressive way to ask someone to leave. Thoughts?

Hi everyone,
I relocated with my family to Ireland recently, one month ago, and while I got a lot of screening calls with recruiters, I did not hear back from any of them after our interview. I am still on the process of getting my work permit and I am very clear about this during the interviews, but I suspect that this is the reason why I am not getting any call back. Any tips on the first screening call with recruiters? Should I touch base with them after our interviews?

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.
