Problems you encounter while preparing for your wedding (Part 7)

[belle_v2g]

^papemelroti, i'm sorry to hear these ongoing fiasco on your wedding preps. i hope you feel better soon. Pray and get some rest. Xx

[papemelroti]

Thanks sis belle! will call it a night and devotional na.

So advice ko din sa mag bang sis,if you feel someone you know is meddlesome, mention early on that your done with your preps. para maisip nila, she's done with her wedding program, we shouldn't suggest or get involved na.

papemelroti: Hugs to you dear!!!! =( =( I hope that this is the last of any wedding prep stress you will have till you get to the wedding date. Hope you feel better and that this all gets sorted out soon.

sis papemelroti, big hug! do get lots of rest...maybe visit the spa...a big day off really helps - we took thursday off from wedding preparations - just had massages, ate good food, and rested - and it really helped with our overall well being. i hope that all your problems will get resolved right away!

[stylus]

Sis papemelroti!! Kung ano man yun.. hope everything will turn out fine. Big hug sis..

Can I just say... there are some people with such bad manners talaga. I can't believe in my brother's wedding someone brought her 2 big kids, even if her invitation specifically says "We have reserved 2 seats for you." She didn't even have the courtesy of calling to ASK if she can bring her kids. They ended up displacing other people in that table, who had to find seats somewhere else. Good thing there were extra seats!

And I don't want to be rude--but when I start doing my RSVP I will specifically message that same person and say that it is strictly an adult affair.

[papemelroti]

thanks chili, 120515 and stylus -  just asking for their song selections na since i need to submit the list next week =)

re: RSVP mine says " To reserve ___ seats for you" that way, if you show up and i don't have seats will show you the RSVP card.

^Chili1113, sa akin there are 2 friends of MIL who wanted to bring their daughters plus the bf of their daughters (kasi gagawing driver). We never replied them na they can go bec we finalized the seatplan late narin, but put them in the seatplan anyway. Ending is they all did go even without confirmation of additional seats. Kapalmuks. Haha! But they took nice pictures of our wedding venue so i stopped being masama loob.

^^sis papemelroti, good idea yang "to reserve __ seats..." hmm. Still plan to text each one of them to remind them to wear appropriate attire at kung ilang seats lang ang nakareserve. Minsan kasi kunwari 5 sila sa family, 3 seats lang inallow namin mag attend. Average 2-3 per family. Basta i need to text them pero kunwari coordinator ako. Ibang sim gagamitin ko. Sad pero kung sino pa mga close relatives, sila pa di sumusunod sa dress code

I agree with this. Sensitive highest level pa man din ako pagdating sa ganito. Worst case meron pa ididiin pa sayo ikaw pa palalabasin na masama na tinatanggihan mo pa offer.

Sa wedding naman ng cousin ko we really thought na ang mga invited lang yung mga parents namin. Not until tinawagan na nung parents ng couples yung parents namin na magpunta na rin kaming mga second cousins. Yes we are really honored to be invited although wala na rin kaming invitation and I have this feeling na baka second priority lang kami since late na rin kami sinabihan. Hindi na rin namin dinala yung daughter namin since expected na for adults lang ang occasion na ito. Though nung reception I am wondering na kung bakit ang daming natirang meal for kids. Which is I hope na nadala ko rin si baby.

Im preparing our vacation in the PH for our preps for feb sadly we heard news that MILS needs to be operated for Tumor in the uterus and need hysterectomy. With this we need to adjust on our schedule going hope. We are hoping she gets well soon as our wedding will be 3 months away. I dont know how will i feel. First my mom decline to go now MIL is sick. We dont know what to expect on the next months so im really praying that things will be ok.

Major major problems on our end...  We might have to move our wedding date!

[textspeak!] is no longer available on August (company problem).  My own father is only available until August or September (end of contract,  OFW kasi) .  Sister is migrating next year.  We also plan to migrate next year

I'm so upset,  we're halfway done with the preps and this happens. Nakareserve na halos lahat. We might move the date from August to May kung pwede si Father in law,  otherwise either one of our fathers won't be able to attend

[stylus]

^stressful sis. Kelan ba original date ng wedding nyo? Isa isahin nyo muna pros and cons ng options nyo.. kaso pano suppliers? Inquire nyo muna sa major suppliers kung available pa sila. Or di ba talaga pwede stick to original plan na lang?

[chocnats]

Had a difficult time looking for an affordable venue near OLA in Marikina. So ayun, papalit-palit kami ng decision ni h2b. At first, nagbook kami ng caterer and other suppliers, then decided to get a restaurant na lang for the venue so ni-let go na namin si caterer and coordinator. Tapos biglang dumami ang guest list kaya need ulit humanap ng mas malaking venue! Nakakaloka ang pagiging indecisive.

Pero ang ending, nakahanap kami ng perfect venue na affordable and malapit sa church. Yun lang, we had to look for another caterer and coordinator kasi booked na on our date ang original coordinator ko. Sayang ang mga downpayments!

[Chili1113]

Just want to share: I feel so so guilty and mean!! But the truth is, everyday I whisper a little prayer to God that sana talaga not many people go to our wedding! Then I feel super guilty after. Then feeling ko I'll get karma and no one will really attend my wedding hahahaa

I am getting so annoyed na with H2B because isnt cooperating. My future SIL even suggested that we send out the invitations late--- so that more people will not be able to attend. But my fiance is not cooperating.

My gosh 460 invitees with a target of only 200-250 guests. I don't know what I am going to do.

[meixin]

@Chili1113 Baka naman kaya niya gusto mag enderun na kayo para ma-accommodate yung bigger number of guests?

[lots-o]

Actually i feel the same way what i did is i made an invite in fb those who dont care to confirm no invites talaga sila. No invites of course no information. So now i have 125 guest confirmed and our venue is good for 100 only kaya nga ako ng splendido instead of tagaytay highlands coz of the number of Guest. Yung mga dedma na 25 ok na.. hindi ko na pipilitin with our confirmed guest of 125 i think mameeet ko naman yung 100  na minimum.

[Chili1113]

meixin: Di naman kasi kaya din ma-accommodate sa current venue namin that many guests.
Sobrang sulit lang talaga and good service and very happy lang talaga my family with Enderun at the wedding of my brother a couple of weeks ago.

And super big savings the fact that they waived the corkage or all the drinks. But I really said NO to my fiance because even if my brother and SIL said its OK for us to move our wedding to Enderun, I know it will be better if we have it in a different venue. Mabaet my SIL and she insists its OK, but of course as a bride I am sure she would rather we not have the exact same venue hehe.

sis Stylus, grabe so much panic and crying yesterday. Trying to find a date when everyone is more available and it looks like our wedding will be pushed to an earlier date (May).

Father in law is also trying to negotiate still getting that leave on August. Sana payagan siya ng company Pag hindi talaga, I'll have to contact the suppliers I've booked already if they're available on May.

Sis Chilli1113,  I feel the same way. Also sending invites to people I know won't be able to attend (relatives abroad or in provinces) out of respect. If they decide to ALL attend, I'm doomed hahaha!

[mimibaja]

^Sis, I guess the best thing to do is hayaan na sila. Observe mo na lang lahat ng preparation nila. Hayaan mo syang magkwento. And pag sa actual wedding na, obserbahan mo in terms sa gown, SDE nla kung meron, sa styling ng event.. then dun ka magbase baka magkaiba naman kayo ng pegs. relax ka lang sissy.. baka madala mo yang inis mo hanggang wedding mo. Basta observe mo lang yung prep and actual wedding nila. Wag ka na din muna magshare ng mga improvement sa prep nyo. Opinion ko lang ito ha. Hehe. Mejo nakakarelate din kasi ako. sa sister naman yun ni h2b.
