missouri-nationalist Marriage is good and weddings are great but I hate modern wedding culture. You don't need to bankrupt yourself to have a nice wedding. Stop supporting the wedding industry, stop buying outrageously priced engagement rings, stop spending 10k on a dress you'll only ever wear once. tidy-tidings Coming from a professional event planner - weddings are egregiously expensive because companies openly raise prices at the word "wedding." Pro Tip - Never drop the word wedding while planning if you don't need to. Most things can be for "an event you're planning." This obviously doesn't include things like the venue, DJ (who needs specific wedding songs), and the wedding dress company if you're going that route versus just buying a dress. For my wedding I got “discounted" cupcakes, flowers, decor, bridesmaids dresses, groomsman attire, and invitations. I did this by either searching for things that aren't marketed for weddings or not telling the companies I was working with it was for a wedding. Because honestly, most of the time they don't need to know why you're ordering. These companies target people planning their weddings and markup everything the second "wedding" is said. And it's said often because people assume the services change exponentially for weddings. They absolutely do not. The best example are the cupcakes I had for my wedding. I used a designer cupcake store in town instead of spending $1000 on a wedding cake. If you place a large order of cupcakes with a cake tree for display - it costs about $150 for 100 (which is what I did). When you order their "wedding" package - the price raised to a $700 base for 100 cupcakes. The only other perk includes a "tasting." Forget that. Our tasting was buying a few cupcakes in flavors we thought we'd like and picked three. It cost maybe $20. What these companies do is scummy and targets people who don't have information about the event industry. I will yell it from the rooftops until people realize there's a better way.

twocubes Follow "Ok, ma'am that'll be $226.03." I take my wallet out of my pocket and unfold it. It is empty other than a single moth that lazily flies out. The moth lands on the tap point of the card reader. There's a beat, and my payment is processed. The moth flies back into my wallet and I put it back in my pocket.

"I think this dress would be perfect for the wedding, it has been very popular."
"Oh, it isn't for a wedding. It's for a Halloween party, I'm going as the bride of Frankenstein."
"Huh? But Halloween ended days ago."
"A late Halloween party. Very late."

it's business 101 always make sure you know as much as you can, and never give them an inch because they will charge you per yard

Businesses are not nice and they are not your friends.
