hello@wolferandco.com
Don’t forget to pick up multiple copies of your marriage certificate! You’ll need it to change your name at the social security office
Got married last October with an almost entirely DIY wedding, thanks to Jamie! We figured out that buying tablecloths in bulk was cheaper than renting. So we ended up buying ours and donating them afterward to our Church's parish hall, where we had our reception. They were very happy about it!
I am a die hard Jamie Wolfer fan!! Watch every week. I proposed June 2020, made it through 2 postpones, covid, a 25 month engagement and now one month from our big day. You have covered SO much lovely information. 😍 Can you cover a video for typical ceremony and reception seating placement specifically. Like how close should tables be to the dance floor. Where do gifts/cards tables get placed? Tables for unity ceremomies - we have 3 (candle, wine and sand). We are struggling where to place our Tents and tables near the dance floor. ❤️
Yo this was posted one month ago! Congrats on your recent or very soon wedding!
My wedding is going to be on December and I plan to have my decor to be more on the Christmas theme. Not only they’d be more affordable, but we can use them all year round just to remember them. 🥰
This video is PERFECT! I just got married last month, and I've done the name change stuff, but yes, I still need to do the dress preservation...and eventually Thank You cards :)
I got married in May. Thanks for all your advice, Jamie! I reused my wedding arch organza cloths by tying them onto my curtains to make them even more decorative, and I'm putting my fake bouquets around the house. The most important thing for us was getting my husband onto my health insurance, which we needed the marriage certificate for. Now, I'm looking at a pile of thank you cards, blank on the back, very daunting. My husband and I did the easy part of putting stamps on them yesterday. Still have to think of the right words for each guest.
The idea of buying stuff to later reuse at home is GENIUS - that'll definitely help me justify all the things I need to purchase lol
This was me when I bought a neon sign that said “The Dos Santos” hung it on our flower wall that was placed behind our sweet heart table and will re use for our living room 😏
I swear your videos come out at the perfect time now that I'm filling out my marriage license application. September, here we come!
Thank you so much, I am watching all your videos, I feel like I am getting a Master's degree in wedding preparation and execution.
1- 0:50 thank you notes, 2- 2:01 tips and reviews for vendors, 3- 4:31 preserve your dress and florals, 4-
This couldn’t have come at a better time 😭😭😭 I always wonder what’s the next step after saying I do
Got married last year, was here before I met the other half so decided to keep watching for a while.
So we did bottles and cans ( both alcoholic and not) at our reception ( which was in the church hall) and bought them in bulk and donated what was left over to my church for their next fête. The left over cake and desserts were leftover for the Sunday morning service coffee.
Our DIYS adorn our house and we donated pretty much everything else. I bought a dress that I need to sell or donate.
Would recommend if name changing multiple copies of the certificate. 😊
Jamie, you are seriously the lifesaver! I watched your videos religiously as a bride, and now as a wedding planner, I'm copy/pasting the links into my content emails for my brides, as well as showing them as training modules to my assistants! I've learned so much from you! Thank you, thank you!
I got married last week! Impeccable timing, thank you 💛
I have questions, and Jamie has answers. Thanks, Jamie!
Thanks, great timing! My wedding is in just 25 days!! I’ll be so sad to not need to listen to your wedding advice anymore Jamie, but I can’t recommend you enough to others and (although you have no idea 😂) you have been with me from day one of planning! Lots of love to you 🫶
We've (meaning I) waited until the photos came back from the photographer. We're including 1 or 2 printed photos of the guest/s with us at our wedding day,, as well as the link to go and download directly from our photographers website, if they want more.
I am doing the same thing, except I gave everyone the link as soon as I got it, and I am getting the pictures printed this week (2 months after the wedding) to include with the thank you cards.
When I was in the fourth grade I learned that women are supposed to change their last name when they get married. So I decided that I would never get married. I later found out that you don't have to change your name when you get married, so I begrudgingly decided that I would consider marriage.
My boyfriend was pretty horrified by this when I told him 18 years ago, but he has since grown up and come around and has agreed that he will tell people to mind their own business if they ever questioned why I don't change my name after marriage. I've gone through so many headaches helping one of my relatives, twice divorced, with replacing lost Social Security cards and renewing IDs and all of the issues that come up with name changes. I'm not putting myself through all of that as well.
This comment made me sad.
I was honored to take my husbands name as his wife.
There is such a deep and powerful meaning behind becoming one. After all, that is what a marriage is.
Maybe one day you will reconsider. If you are basing your decision off of how you felt as a 9 year old and other people getting divorced, maybe you could try reflecting on what a marriage truly means to you
@@user-emilyyyy I mean, I plan to take my fiancés name too (bc I like it better). “A deep and powerful meaning” though? It stems from women being property, and losing individuality in their marriage. I don’t think it’s some beautiful unification really, and plenty of people don’t do it anymore. It really is a hassle to change your surname, and I don’t think anyone should be judged for not wanting to lose a name they’ve lived their entire lives with.
@@studentloans3105 exactly. I don't really want to get married for this "women as property" reason. If anything, I've come to despise the idea even more since I was 9 years old. And since I have college degrees, a career, and a reputation built up behind this name I'm certainly not giving it up to get married.
Some male-dominated societies also have the tradition of women keeping their names (see China back when it was definitively male-dominated under the law).
It's really the children's names that indicates whether a society of patriarchal, matriarchal, or egalitarian. Does one's name die with you, whether you keep your name or not? Or does it get passed on to the next generation? This is symbolic of the society's values as a whole.
I'm drawn to how Iceland has done it traditionally -- one's last name is based on the first name of the parent who shares your gender. This seems truly egalitarian, although I suppose non-binary people would need to do something different or choose a parent.
Just going through this saga! Ugh! Our banks have 5 months waiting lists for appointments to see a manager to change my name it's insane!
I would want to see a video of getting married through court and then having a wedding party that’s what we are planning but so lost on how to do it
Jamie, you are literally helping me survive this wedding planning process. Thank you SO much!!
Thanks for making this video! Just got married this weekend, so perfect timing!
Thank you for this!! 🥰💕
I did on our minimoon our thank you cards, all reviews to vendors and even ordered the day rigth after the wedding flowers as thank yous to all female vendors and champagne with a pretty foto that one of our guests took on our wedding, with a thank you on top to our male vendors. I was very late now with my dress preservation and cleaning...and I sold the 8 weeks after the wedding all items that I bought and or DIYed...really write yourself a check list, that helped me.
Loving your hair!!!!
I used Postable, which was super helpful and has great mimic of hand writing.
This June 18th bride thanks you ❤️
If you do DIY preserving your flowers with resin, they’ll need to be dried first as water will cause issues with curing. If you never plan to use resin for anything else it will likely be cheaper to hire someone else.
I'm a simple woman: I see Jamie Wolfer upload, I click
I wish there were more of these.
Also could work on making your wedding photo album!
Still haven't gotten pictures back from our photographer and therefore haven't sent out thank you cards yet because I really wanted to send a picture out with them , it's been 6 weeks 😅
12 months is worse... Please send them out within 3-6 months the latest... The guests do notice...
6 weeks is pretty normal, a lot of photographers take about 6-8 weeks but with wedding season plus post covid rescheduled weddings, editing is probably more like 12 weeks or so. Each photographer is different and yours will be able to give you a more accurate guess, but don't feel bad about waiting this amount of time!
Also if it helps, I've been to five weddings in the past year, I haven't gotten thank you cards from any of them. My one friend said she's still trying to send them out even at 10 months post wedding. You got this!!
@@alyssarh I noticed not getting a thank you card. When it came, it was 12 months after the fact. Why bother at all? A text or a phone call to say thanks nearer the time would have been better rather than letting your guests feel like an afterthought....
Just got married last week, and I was stressing the post-wedding things.
A lot of the links that you said will be in the corner are missing throughout the video. Where can we find all those links?
My wedding is in 4 weeks! 🤣 I'm a guy watching this. Nerves hitting hard
Congratulations 👏 don't be nervous
What to do when he calls of the wedding 3 weeks before the wedding? You had to have experienced that too as a wedding planner.
Amazon has a completion discount
I have no idea how to change my name. How’d you know? My husband wants me to do it by the end of the week ):
I googled how to do it, then started with the Social Security Offices. Once you have a new social security card, you can change your license, your name on bank accounts, etc. All you need is your ID and marriage license, and then you can!
There are tons of photos with a checklist of the order of how to do it, check pinterest. Keep in mind local differences and if you're not in the US, etc.
I used this company called NewlyNamed. I just bought it a few days ago so I haven’t started the whole process. But you put in your information and they send you a checklist and instructions and all documents needed to change your name. So you don’t have to do all the work. I got the downloadable one and it was $39. But they also have an option to send you a box with everything printed out already and it’s $89. I think it’s worth it because it feels kind of overwhelming not knowing where to start. Hope that helps!
So you don’t send a thank you after the shower, and another for the wedding?
You could if you want to! As far as gifts she recommended to send thank yous as you receive them. But for attending, usually it's just a thank you for the wedding and I haven't seen thank yous sent for the shower
I’ve been divorced for 14yrs and changed my name back to my maiden name but my bank is still in my ex’s name 😂😂😂 I get re married next year 🤭 xx
Taking a year to thank people for coming / a gift seems rude to me. Not prompt enough...
In my culture you call every guest the day after the wedding, maybe two/three days if you have a lot of guests. Anything after that is considered very rude.
Everyone writes their phone number on their gift so you can easily contact them.
@@lizd6886 That's a lot of phone calls, but I love the idea! It's more personal and saves your hand from writing a bunch of notes.
@@lizd6886 yes, nice idea. Get back to them quickly. Some may have travelled from oversea/ taken a day off work to attend. Show them that you care.
I hate thank you cards. Don’t like getting them. Don’t like making them. I find them super wasteful.
Not doing it lol
All the ADHD energy in this video about not having gotten to this or that task... ;)
I can't believe people bother to try to preserve the bouquet and go to such lengths...
I'm going to dry mine but I dry flowers as a hobby anyway...
