Does anyone else have fears of having hardly any guests at the wedding?
I have 13 cousins, who mostly all have partners & children. Altogether there’s nearly forty people there, but hardly any of them ever turn up for family events!
Most of the christenings and weddings I’ve been to, hardly any of our family have even been there!
Now I’ve also found out an auntie might be on holiday when it’s the wedding!🙄

My partner has a tiny family and we don’t exactly have a large friendship group, so there’s not going to be loads of people there really…

Does it matter? We have about 30-33 in the day and we are inviting about an extra 75 to the night. I reckon in total, if basically none of my family come, then there will be like 60 guests at the night do… 😂
We’re having 50 in the day (that’s the minimum we can have) and then inviting an additional 70 for the evening. But around 50 of those are my partners massive extended family and they won’t necessarily all come as most of them live in Ireland, plus with us not inviting children I think that will rule a few of them out too.

I have a tiny family in comparison so I have the same worry you do! What if no one turns up 😂 But I also think the most important thing is us getting married the important people will make the effort to be there if they can.

We’re having 4 guests 🤣 we both come from huge families but I refuse to share my day with people I don’t really care about. Then we’re having about 40 or so to a party a few days later. If the people you want there are coming that’s all that matters. Those who don’t come, maybe aren’t that important.

Thank god there's a thread on this!

I got engaged over the weekend and I'm still riding super high on it all 🥰 but of course I'm keen to start setting some plans in place for our wedding, then I realised today I have no idea where to start 😂

I'll go back through this thread but are there any good apps or Web resources to help you get your head around it all?

I need everyone to manifest for me that I win one of the wedding dress competitions I entered on the weekend 😂😂

Also from the wedding fair I've booked a dress appointment, my wedding cake and my invitations. Also got a quote for kilts.
Just need a florist

We've booked our honeymoon! Mexico here we come 🥂
We’re thinking about Mexico too! What area/time of year will you be going? We’ve always wanted to go but when we’ve looked at it before we’ve been undecided about where exactly to stay.

We're staying in Riviera Maya. Cancun isn't really our vibe but Riviera Maya is only about half hour drive from Playa Del Carmen if we want something more lively for an evening.
We're going early December to avoid hurricane season but still go the same year we get married 🙂

Omg, I’ve just found this thread now, I get married in 17 days. The stress is killing me.
I’m worried about everything,
Will my hair cooperate, will my makeup look nice, am I going to look large in my dress.. do I even still like my dress.. what do I get my nails like, I still haven’t decided.

im Staying in a cottage near my venue the night before the wedding with my MOH, and the ceremony is 15:30. Myself and my MOH are setting up the aisle, and the tables (I’ve made all my decor myself) but we aren’t able to do so until 12:00. So obviously I’m now stressing that I won’t be ready in time. Aaaargggh.
Can anyone recommend nice nail ideas?
Plz help lol

One of my oldest friends isn’t coming to my wedding because her bf isn’t invited (they have been dating a matter of weeks and aren’t even Facebook official) 😂
She told me ‘I can’t come because I can’t bring my boyfriend’ wow

Thanks I’ll have a look at that. We’re going in October/November time so we’re trying to find somewhere that will still be nice and hot! I was dreaming about the Maldives until I saw the cost 😂
