Activity for Sarah

Hello! We have a LARGE venue, but only ~100 guests. I’m wondering if anyone had the same type of thing? Any way that you set up tables, decor, added things, etc. to make it not feel “empty”? Silly thing to think about, i know!

Hey yall! I’m having so much stress over this. I put together all of our invites (wax seal on vellum) and brought one to the post office a few weeks ago to ask about postage. The woman weighed it quickly and said “it’s 1.4 oz, so you can do a 2oz...

Hey all! we don’t really want speeches (unless any of our people absolutely want to!). Have you been to weddings where there were no speeches? Were they missed? We are also thinking of us toasting our guests and thanking them for coming in lieu of...

I have several brand new more casual dresses (BHLDN and Jenny Yoo) I bought last year for my shower and rehearsal, but we moved our wedding to next year and I’ve since changed my style where have you sold wedding attire with success? This stuff is...

Hi All, We’re allowed to purchase our own alcohol for our wedding (we’re doing an open bar). Our caterer can also supply for a per member count (standard). Has anyone chosen to purchase their own alcohol? Did you really save that much money? Was it...

Hey all! We want to do some type of an open bar (whether full or beer/wine and signature cocktails) for our welcome party. Budget wise, we can do it for about 4 hours max. Our friends are partiers and they’ll want to stay late, but is it weird if we...

Hey all! We’ve historically given cash and a card on the day of weddings. However, for an upcoming wedding we’d like to donate to their honeymoon fund (basically a cash fund). It’s kind of tricky hanging on to a card with a church ceremony and a big...

Hey all! We have a smaller wedding next year. 115 invites, including plus ones. We’re doing a welcome party as 90% of our guests are traveling in from out of town. For anyone who had a similar event, what % of your RSVPs came to the welcome event?...

Hi y’all. Are you having June 2021 weddings? We booked in March/April before we really knew the severity of all of this. A lot of our guests will need to travel from out of state to attend. We’re feeling so conflicted on what to do. I know we should...

Hey all - our ceremony is set to be outdoors next June in VA. If anyone is from the south, you know June can mean 80 and nice or 95 with 95% humidity. Thinking about nice umbrellas to have over the seating for our ceremony to have some shade. Has...

Hey y’all! Curious for those who have had a wedding this year, are going to, or are next year. What are y’all doing for cocktail hour food? I originally wanted a grazing table with passed apps, but is that allowed? If you were able to have a communal...

Hi! Curious about RSVPs. Did you do a standard mail-in RSVP card or online on your website? We do need to ask about attending the welcome party and meal choice. I’ve heard 50% of people don’t mail cards back, but curious if they’ll take the time to...

Hey y’all, we are doing a welcome party instead of rehearsal dinner. The only way we can do our actual rehearsal is earlier in the afternoon, like 2-3. We intended to have a bus bring the party to the welcome party after, but we have the welcome...

Hey y’all! We are having a wedding next year (90-100 people in attendance). We are offering open bar and our caterer and venue allows us to supply our own alcohol (which will save us a few thousand $ if we buy in bulk from Costco i.e. beers...

Hi! How long for a wedding from start to finish? We are thinking 5-11pm. 5-530 ceremony, 5:30-6:30 cocktail hour, 6:45-8:00 dinner, 8-11 dancing. Is that too long after dinner? We are having shuttles come at 11, so wondering if they should come...

Our wedding is next June - 90% of people will need to travel in for our wedding. Is sending out our STDs in mid-August too early? There’s so many weddings next year, I want to get them out a bit earlier for this reason too!
