anyone been to soyouna?

their patented CAT injections seem to be a innovative solution for fat dissolving injections that dont require as many sessions to be effective. ive seen that a lot of celebrities visit this place, but there are so little foreign reviews? has anyone been there that could give their opinion!

($1K) Is it worth getting a cricut for my invitations and party favors?

I was thinking about buying a cricut explore to handle the following things for my wedding:

- Wedding invitations

- Custom stickers with holographic lamination

- Custom hang tags (plan on putting them on some plushies)

I'm wondering if it's worth it for me to buy a cricut to handle these things vs. buying them custom. I figure I could probably use it for other things that I wasn't going to buy to stay under budget too (e.g. address labels, reserved seat cards).

I'm not a big DIY-er, but I do like to do custom stuff for gifts/events. However, I usually default to buying it from a vendor since I don't have the materials. So I suppose I could use it for other things, but to be fair, I don't have anything particular in mind. So I don't want to justify the cost of the potential of me using it a lot in the future, in case I don't.

balancing including my family and doing things for me

my whole family has a complicated relationship with marriage. they are older and unmarried and/or gone through several marriages and divorces. im the youngest in my family by at least 15 years, and my wedding will be the first “traditional” wedding (venue, white dress, etc) that they’ve experienced.

that being said, my relationship with them is complicated. its very one sided in the way that they see me as the golden child, but i want nothing to do with them. and there’s a lot of guilt, because cutting them off would removing their primary source of emotional and financial support.

that being said, i want to give them as much as they can from this experience. but im starting to run into issues where what my family wants directly conflicts with what i want. for example, i wanted to do my makeup trial by myself so i can get a feel for what im looking for without any opinions. i feel like i dont really even want any opinions — i feel sure about what i want, and even if other people dont like it, if i like it its fine. i dont really care what other people think.

my family insists on coming with me, and threw a mini tantrum of how they wanted to be there. i know going alone is not traditional, but i just feel like im giving up my desired experience so they can have theirs. but i dont want to be selfish. i know this time is special to other ppl, as well.

i also have always seen my wedding as “mine”. ive made concessions on all the other big moments in my life, but i wanted this to be how i want it, just this time. maybe thats why im so protective of my experience.

anyone relate? any advice? i dont want to fight with anyone during this process. i just want to find a compromise while feeling like im doing right by me.

the tipping vendors question

i see the general consensus is tip is not expected for vendors that set their own prices.

im wondering what you guys think qualified as that category. for example, i am looking at a decor service where my consultation was with the founder. but i see they have a team of 2-3 people that they work with. I’m not sure if they hire other people to help as well. would tip be expected there?

i met with and booked my dj directly. he may bring an assistant. do i tip the assistant? then do i also tip the dj?

photobooth attendant? claw machine set up? special effects?

i think tipping culture has got out of hand, to be honest. i just dont know where it ends! but i dont wanna be a dick if tips are a big part of someone’s livelihood. thoughts?

i feel like my friend is struggling to be happy for me, and i dont blame her. how can i help?

im starting the process of getting married soon, and have started planning my bachelorette + other activities. im really excited to include my friends in the process, cause i love the idea of being included in theirs.

one of my friends went through an unexpected break up. it hit her in a lot of ways: it came out of the blue, shes the only single person in our group, and shes going through the feelings of “i thought id be married by now”. she also has a lot going on outside of her love life.

i absolutely sympathize with how hard that feels. i wouldnt be having a good time if i was in her situation either. so i dont blame her for any small lack of enthusiasm as i share my wedding updates with everyone.

shes a great friend, and im sure she wants to be excited for me. but i understand that sometimes these feelings bubble up that are hard to ignore.

im trying to figure out how to be a good friend to her. i want to share this special time with her, but i also dont want to feel like im “showing off” my happiness to her either. so i feel hesitant to talk about my wedding planning, and idk what to do.

anyone been in this situation? what do you think i should do?

just started wedding planning and am feeling out of my depth lol

our wedding will prob be 100 guests, 150 max. Some venues that ive likes are: park chateau, oheka castle, glenmere. thats the kind of vibe we’re looking for. modern, nice garden, spacious.

we’re aiming for a 2027 spring/summer wedding, high end of budget would be ~$75K.

wondering if anyone has any recommendations of venues with similar vibes?
