Anybody else doing the "wedding in a box" thing?

Posted in Planning 75

So...we got engaged in April and we are getting married in July of 2018. I have been lurking on these forums (and have posted a few things) for a couple of weeks. We are doing the total package deal. As in...we show up with our paperwork, a dress, and a tux. We're upgrading the cake, adding a string...

As in...we show up with our paperwork, a dress, and a tux. We're upgrading the cake, adding a string quartet, etc., but other than that, I'm done! Curious to hear if anyone else is going this route? I don't think I've seen any postings to that effect? Thanks!

    I don't think our guests on the Queen Mary will find it to be generic. Five-star dinner, string quartet, top-notch champagne. I think it will be lovely. To all posters (other than @Chivy), thank you for your comments, well wishes, and great ideas. It's nice when we can be supportive of each other without resorting to rude or snarky comments. A lot of people are making choices that I wouldn't make. However, they obviously work for them, and I would never presume to judge. @Chivy-I also suspect your wedding isn't as custom as you would have us believe. Are you wearing couture?

    On another note, "wedding in a box" must be a regional/my circle thing! It has nothing to do with quality. It simply means "one-stop" shopping. Everything comes together. A venue or someone has simply put all of the vendors together in one place. No better, no worse. Same vendors! And although I can't, many people have pointed out that you can customize/personalize to your hearts content!

    Lol Kelley, Chivys wedding is anything but generic... that's for damn sure.

    @Chivy- unique doesn't necessarily equal fun, good, great, etc. Many things related to weddings have been done many times before because they've worked out well.

    Twerking = unique. As to whether it's a good idea, well, WW has already opined on that.

    All inclusive venues are a pretty normal thing in my area which I am so thankful for. It has saved me so much time, money and my sanity.

    @Chivy did nothing come with your venue? Just curios

    LMFAO@ Calling out "snarky" comments while actually being snarky and ignoring all snarky comments that aren't directed at you. Girl! Ok. I hate the word snark now.

    @Chivy oh PUH-LEASE. Stop with the utter bull. You literally post the most ridiculous comments and posts. Attention seeking is a thing.
