Freshly engaged, want a wedding, don’t care to do all the work
Hello!!
I am freshly engaged with my partner of 3 years! Back story, I have a child from a previous relationship& we actually had a baby earlier this year (slightly planned, slightly surprised).
I wanted a proper engagement & ceremony as my daughter being my flower girl & my dad walking me down the aisle means a lot to me.
We have talked a lot about what a wedding would look like for us so we are fairly ready to plan & get married next September (budget/time willing!). We obviously are already untraditional lol, but we want some traditional aspects!
We found a few venues and touring them, and one stands out more than the other! It has great pricing packages for an inclusive package (priced by guest count!)
Not that it should matter, but I feel the pressure to NOT pay for inclusive…but is it so bad to just want to pay people to handle our day?? Within reason?
We have 50 guests and we want to enjoy our day & not worry about what goes where, timing of, setting up/taking down decor, let alone PREPPING it all! Like I said, we have 2 kids & both work full time!
We have a photographer & officiant already lined up as they are our close friends. I’m not looking to hire hair & makeup because my sister & I both cover that end, we have no official bridal party. We are skipping Bach parties/bridal showers! I would like to make our invites/table numbers/seating chart/welcome signs just because we love graphic design & thrifting (for frames & we want to thrift vases to have as our center pieces)
Did anyone else take this route that has positive feedback!? Anything you wish you did do differently? Encouragement!? Thanks!
