View Quoted Comment Heyyyy 👋🏾


Well... I have reached a common balance of excitement and planning lol I did reduce my guest count to 25 (only partly due to COVID and partly because I kind of wanted a more initmate wedding). I am sending out invites the first of the year 🎉
I am just relaxing and planning like normal until something comes up then I will make changes. I did change my venue from an indoor venue to an outdoor venue. My original guest count was closer to 100 hundred guests so downsizing wasn’t as easy as I thought.

View Quoted Comment Nice are you still sending the invites to the close to 100 people or only to the 25. And on the invites are you telling them virtual.. or are you just giving those 100 your registry and only the 25 the invitation 🤔

View Quoted Comment The invites will be virtual and I am only planning on sending them to the 25 that are going to be invited. I haven’t decided if I will live record the ceremony or not but I may. We don’t have a registry BUT my FMIL has already practically told everyone that if they want to give a gift that monetary gifts are appreciated. Wether a $1 or more it doesn’t matter to us. Mainly because we don’t have a registry. We practically have everything that we would want/need so the money can be used for shopping during the honeymoon.

Nicee!! We registered with a traveler's joy which is a honeymoon registry which helps with getting those cash gifts.. but since I've done the reduction I don't know how to go about still giving the registry to those not invited due to Covid

View Quoted Comment Hmmm..
That is a pretty difficult one. Are you planning on live streaming? If so you can send an invite about the live stream and include the info about the registry.

Or send a “almost married, we wish you could attend but due to COVID we had to do reductions cards” lol and let them know that you are sorry that you couldn’t formally invite them due to COVID BUT if they would still like to give a gift - here’s the registry info

View Quoted Comment Ohh thanks!!🤯🤯 This is actually a great idea!!

View Quoted Comment Yes!! I am planning on live streaming!! Don't know which social media yet!!

View Quoted Comment You’re welcome! I am glad I could help ❤️

March 13,2021 wedding! Still going through with the wedding and thankfully everything has been going really well so far!

Me and the Mr have noticed how close the date is approaching rather fast lol. We have been buying things here and there. No restrictions from our venue when it comes to guest count/numbers. Moving forward...

View Quoted Comment We are doing a road trip to Atlanta we booked a nice huge air bnb and private chef we going just enjoy each other and do what we can

I did my dress alterations today it’s coming together pretty well. We cut our guest list and we are requiring mask, we sent out the invites, it’s getting close I’m kinda nervous

60 days!!! I am so excited and the rsvps are starting to slowly come in the mail.

View Quoted Comment Omg mines too my anxiety is through the roof

We had everything done and ready, and now we have to push back till January 15, 2022. We are gonna do a super small ceremony on March 13 still with like 12 people so we can keep the date we wanted. But now its back to the waiting game for the big wedding of our dreams.

Any tips for asking people to RSVP? A lot of my guests have received invitations but only about 30 have either accepted/ declined!!

View Quoted Comment I haven’t receive too many back they have until the 25th then I’ll text or call people but if they don’t reply they don’t get to come

View Quoted Comment If they haven’t responded by the due date than you might have to reach out to them one by one. If no response than count them as a no go.

View Quoted Comment Maybe send another quick card saying that due to Covid you need RSVP by certain date otherwise they won't be accepted in the wedding.. of course put it in a more appropriate and appealing way.

View Quoted Comment Thinking about possibly doing a Facebook group? Does that sounds too cheesy?? I don’t want to spend more money on cards when we spent good money on our invites just to have people not RSVP
