Wedding vendors routinely miss scheduled calls and appointments

“Hi all! I know ppl will switch out of their heels and either go into flats or barefoot for the reception but how does that work when your dress is hemmed to your heel height? I’m wanting a kitten heel so I can walk better for the ceremony, and then want to switch to flats for the reception so I can boogie. I have a big ball gown/princess dress that will have a petticoat type thing under the skirt Will that be too much of a height difference or is there a way to be able to do both shoes? su”

“my ceremony dress is a big ball gown — its my favorite of the three! i plan on changing into my reception dresses after our first dance, maybe during dinner? here’s where my main dilemma comes in. i have a long and a short dress for the reception. im wondering what would be the best timing to change into one from the other? after dinner there are only so many hours left in the reception. do i do another entrance? anyone done this successfully before? or am i crazy for trying to fit in 3 dresses.”

“UPDATE: thank you for confirming my suspicions. I’m gonna look for a new dress AND change the dress code to ‘dressy casual’ as it’s more aligned to what i’m envisioning. My husband and I eloped in April, it was perfect and I loved it. We’re doing a reception in Sept to celebrate with family and friends (it’s not a surprise or anything). Buffet style dinner and a DJ around 80 guests. I struggled on a dress code, initially went with ‘dressy casual’ but worried it was too vague so switched to ‘semi”

“Our wedding is in about seven weeks and I keep going back and forth on something, so I would love some outside perspective. Neither my parents, my sister nor my fiancé’s parents ever had a big wedding themselves, so from the very beginning it was a little hard for them to picture why we wanted one. I completely understand where they are coming from, and I know none of this comes from a bad place. They have just been very careful about spending anything on it. Along the way there were small comme”

“I’m in a weird position where I feel strongly that I would not like to do a first dance. I hate attention and also cannot dance. However my partners mom would like to do the dance with his son. Would it be weird to just do a parent dance and transition into a regular dance floor? Has anyone done it? submitted by /u/StatementBoth2 [link] [comments]”

“Just a rant, getting married in 2 months and I’m super excited about it! But I’m having trouble with the name change. I should start with I hate my current last name. I would do anything to distance myself from my parents. My dad assaulted women and my mom, and she would take out her frustrations on me. I was extremely malnourished my entire underage life. I was so use to the feeling of always being hungry when I started to eat consistently I thought I was sick. I’m now a healthy weight, but I s”

“I don’t know what to change my last name to when married. It’s important to me that we share a name but I always thought I wouldn’t automatically take a man’s name and might be disregarding my values of equality. Here are the options I’m considering: 1. McDonald-Smith 2. Smith-McDonald 3. McDonald (but with Smith as a middle name) I think I like the idea of having both of our names but I’m worried it’ll sound clunky. Opinions appreciated! submitted by /u/neveracloudyday1 [link]”

“Hey all, I’m in two minds about our guest list for our wedding in January next year. My maternal extended family is truly huge, whereas my fiance’s extended family is much, much smaller. My fiance and I are wanting a smaller, intimate wedding with only our closest friends and family involved. We were hoping for a maximum of 50 people, but have ended up with a potential guest list of 75 people. Our Save the Dates went out a few months ago, and we have included plus ones for many friends once chec”

“Hi everyone! My husband and I recently eloped just us 2 and our immediate family for a ceremony. We are planning a big wedding next year with another ceremony and reception with all friends and family. Any advice from people who have done this before? I know some people might think it’s weird but we wanted an intimidate ceremony and also one where everyone gets to see us! Thanks! submitted by /u/Yuki3737 [link] [comments]”

“My boyfriend isnt big on being the center of attention, and frankly neither am I. I have adhd and get overwhelmed and then my battery runs out. I also have scoliosis, and the pressure of being conscious of how I look seems like it may ruin our day. I have been reading articles and other posts to gather ideas on how to make it friendlier for our needs while also still having a memorable day, I'll list a few below, but does anyone else have any ideas or suggestions? We will be skipping speeche”

“Hello! My dress has a small train and arm sleeves (they are detachable but I would like to wear them for the first dance. My train isn’t long enough to bustle, but I don’t want to trip over it and I don’t want fiancé stepping on it. There a high chance… there about a foot and some change height difference and he is constantly running into me or stepping on my longer dresses. It’s frustrating… and it always him saying I didn’t see it and me telling him to use your d**** eyes! Anyways, I’m failing”

“I don't think we've had a single phone call with a vendor go as scheduled. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, we live in a busy and professional area but no one can keep a schedule it seems. Our venue didn't reply to an email initially then literally the next weekend we saw them at an expo and just hammered it out in person. Then recently we wanted to face time to discuss some small questions and they totally missed it and just asked us to email them the questions didn't eve”

“Anyone ever been to a wedding at the view at pepperrell cove in kittery point maine? If so, what was the guest count, and did it feel cramped especially in the downstairs portion where cocktail hour and dancing is held? submitted by /u/Thespacemonkey07 [link] [comments]”

“can I send out invites today and still have a wedding in late October 2026? We dropped off the check for the date and have literally not slept in a week spiraling about it. It is not local, as this was the only place I could still find with a date. We had to cancel our original wedding after over a year+ of planning due to a legal battle with the county. We got a full refund. My sister has been diagnosed with cancer about 5 months ago and I’ve been in a major depression of her absence as she was”

“I love my fiancée but my last name is pretty uncommon, and his is very, very common. I love how unique mine is but also I’m close with my family and he is not very close with his father or his fathers side of the family so he doesn’t have much of an attachment in that way. But he still says he loves the idea of us having his last name. He’s not pressuring me by any means to take his last name btw, I’m just adding context! Aside from that, with all the craziness in the world rn I don’t want to ha”

“Wedding is 4.9.27. Original plan was to use pictures from our engagement photos, unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances on both ends its been pushed a couple times and it looks like we wont be able to do them until August 31st. She could probably get me a few good pictures to use shortly after we take them. But that would put me mailing save the dates out early-mod September. My wedding is the Friday after Easter so im worried I need to pivot and design something else to send out now. &#3”

“My fiancé and I are getting married this fall and are completely stuck on a last-name strategy. We want a unified name, but aren’t sure if hyphenating our current names is a 14-letter, phonetic nightmare. To add to the chaos, there's major family baggage. His family has been incredibly unsupportive of our relationship and, frankly, pretty misogynistic over the years. My family has essentially adopted him, but we don't love the idea of just taking my name, either. Now that the wedding is”

“We can't afford a videographer for the full day and even content creators are a little pricier that I hoped. I've seen people buy video cameras that the guests can use to film whatever they want and it sounds like a fun idea. Has anyone done this for their wedding? Pros, cons, and video camera recommendations are appreciated. Thank you in advance! submitted by /u/lovelikefireworks [link] [comments]”

“Hi! I recently posted a similar list on but took it down after 30 minutes because I had included too much information. I edited it a bit this morning and posted again. Without further ado, I present, the list. The guest list - I want a relatively small wedding, about 150 people total. This may seem normal sized to most people, but 75 people per side really isn’t that much when you have a big family (especially an immigrant family with a big emphasis on inviting your entire family tree to events.”

“We’re having a small wedding of about 60 people. My fiancé is from Australia and I’m from the states, and I’ll be moving to AU after. Because we have the most expensive visa in the world to pay for, we’re really trying to not spend a lot on our wedding. However, I do think a DJ is essential. I believe they’re the main form of entertainment and they keep the night organized and flowing. My fiancé is super against DJ’s saying “I’m not paying someone a thousand dollars+ to just push buttons when we”

“Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here can help me find what feels like a needle in a haystack. I’m desperately looking for the Vow’d Chiffon Boston Dress in Powder Blue (also called Cloud Blue) in a size 6 or 8 (Small/Medium) . The wedding is in about a month , and unfortunately Vow’d has discontinued their bridesmaid line. I’ve already contacted customer service and multiple stores, and they told me they no longer have inventory. If you have this dress sitting in your closet, know someone who do”

“We're stuck deciding between two different options: "Silver" One hour of open bar (house brands) during cocktail hour, tap beer and house wine all night "Gold" Open bar (house brands) all night, tap beer and wine all night The cost difference for our guest count would only be about $550 dollars total (plus however that would affect tax and tip). Something about gold feels easier, but most of our friends and family members are beer and wine people, so idk if it's worth”

“I live in Michigan, and my fiancé and his family live in Australia. When me and my fiancé got engaged, my fiancé’s brother who’s also our best man generously told me that as his wedding gift to me, he wants to buy my wedding dress. He gave me the price limit and that was that. My fiancé told me once I buy it to then send him the receipt for reimbursement. I bought the dress, sent the receipt 2 months ago, and heard absolutely nothing back. When I finally asked my fiancé about it, he told me that”

“Hi Reddit! I just ordered my dress, so I have been on the hunt to find my shoes to be ready for alterations, but I am not seeming to be having much luck. I am pretty tall for a woman (almost six feet) but I still would like to wear heels over flats on my big day, so I am looking for a shorter heel. I'm not super picky about style as long as they look bridal, but just wanted to see if any other tall brides have any recommendations where to look? submitted by /u/Late_Specialist2050”

“I am on the fence with what kind of look I want to go for considering my dress has this cool style opening at the back i feel like I should show off? Im hoping to get some opinions on here, anything is welcome, and if you have any different suggestions too 😊 I was thinking maybe to meet in the middle of up and down hairstyle but im not sure on makeup either! submitted by /u/arozze [link] [comments]”
