Activity for Matty

FW and I talked last night and decided to cancel the big wedding we were planning (130 people and a budget of $45k.... Fairfield County, CT is tough). Only deposit we put down was the venue (almost $3000 though). Our parents were...

Hi all, I’m reworking my budget today and trying to get a better idea on how much we’re going to have to spend on alcohol. We’re planning on 100 guests, and just having wine, beer and cider, and two signature cocktails. How much have you...

Hi all, my FW is very much into conservation and would like our wedding to be as eco friendly as possible. Something we have discussed is forgoing paper STDs and invitations and putting all the budgeted money towards a wedding website and email...

A week ago our reception venue was listed as $2200.... today I checked and it went up to $3500!!! we only haven’t booked it yet because you can only book two years in advance (wedding is October 2020), I’ve talked to my FW and parents...

I’m going to be making stained glass favors with bevels and pressed leaves (fall wedding). I plan to have them attached to each households name with their table number (we’re just doing assigned tables, not seats). is that ok or should I be doing...

How do you decide how much wine vs beer vs cocktails to have? We’re buying the alcohol ourselves and having two kinds of red and white wine, 2 types of beer, one type of cider, and two signature cocktails. We’re expecting a little more than 100...

My FW and I put this together after finding out our venue will allow us to start the reception at 6 instead of 7 (yay!!) Please let me know if you have any suggestions/comments! Sunset is at 5:50, do you think 5-5:30 will be an ok time for photos?...

Hi everyone! i’ve tried out a lot of different hashtag generators but since our married name is a bit different (Kind) and has an alternate meaning, I was wondering if anyone had any advice. So far I’ve only liked #EatDrinkandBeKind but I’d love to...

My FW and I are a queer non traditional couple. We decided awhile ago that we won’t take either of our last names (neither of us have ever felt attached to them) and instead create a new last name (Kind). Has anyone had any experiences changing last...

After some change of plans, my FW and I have found a reception venue we love. However, you can only rent it from either 12-4 or 7-11. They do allow you to pay $300 for an extra set up hour, but it doesn’t clarify if you can start the party...

I do stained glass and am planning on making the favors for ~90 guests. I’m looking for ideas for fairly simply sun catchers with just a few pieces. We’re getting married on Halloween, we’re a queer couple, and there’s a beautiful water view at the...
