Anyone got any good recommendations for makeup artists out in the California area? 🙂

We still don't know the gender, and honestly, we couldn't care less what it turns out to be. (Though, if I'm being real, I just want to find out ASAP so I can finally start buying cute little clothes 😍)
Whenever people corner us asking what it is, we just tell them we have no clue. Then comes the inevitable follow-up: "So, what are you hoping for?" And our answer is always the same—doesn't matter to us.
Then, during one of these conversations, I mentioned that I actually think it might be a girl (I’ve been dreaming about a little girl), and suddenly I'm getting lectured. This person starts preaching at me about how the gender isn't important and that all that matters is that the baby is healthy.
Like, dammit, I get it. I know that. I really didn't want to end up saying something terrible back to them.

I'm gonna try 😬
When we finally sit down for this talk, I’m bringing ten different photos of the turtle along just in case. Let's see how that goes 🙂

Yeah, I actually get mine through my employer's benefits package.
Honestly, their cakes are incredible. I just can't say much about how they look visually 😬

Thanks 🙂

I've got 3 or 4 absolutely stunning 😍

Take this one, for example.

Do you guys honestly think anyone can pull this off?

And here I am, just scrolling through looking for some cake inspiration... so 😬

potpis 👍
It’s just ridiculous. We aren't even going to be able to use our hands. We have these damn pincers 😬 (or whatever the technical term is, jaw 🤔)

Where exactly 😉

California is a pretty broad term 😛

But I'm guessing none of those places are near me, since I don't recognize a single one of them 🤔

swiftranger16🙂

quick thoughts and everything else🙂

Ugh, and now I just remembered something else.
What actually gets under my skin the most is...

My mom won't let me sleep or even lie on my stomach.
Apparently, it’s because she thinks I'll crush my breasts (she's been lecturing me about this since day one, and I'm already 11 weeks along today)
😱

(It’s not like she’s actually monitoring how I sleep or anything, but every single time she drops by to visit, she finds me sprawled out on the couch on my stomach, typing away on my laptop😬))

Kenneth Sullivan3 said:Honestly, what is it with people lately? You’re trying to have a decent conversation, and instead of actually engaging, they just drift—their eyes darting from your face down to your midsection, then up to your chest, then back down to your stomach again. It’s exhausting.🙄 Hey! If you're going to talk to me, at least have the decency to look me in the eye!!!

Man, I feel that... it's so awkward...
And what's even crazier is that there's nothing to even see yet, and most women don't even mention anything during this phase. But whatever, news travels fast in small towns. And anyone who sees me out on the street based on our conversations just stares at my gut.
They're probably just checking to see if anything is popping out yet.
😠

Also, my dad is getting on my nerves... I mean, obviously he's not going to want a grandkid while I'm still driving a beat-up old Ford Fiesta 😕

But hey, at least they aren't asking when we're having a baby, just when the kid is finally going to start moving.😁

For the San Francisco area:

Who can you guys recommend for custom invitations and flowers?

cosmiccrane15... honestly, this is top-tier 😍

smin is just c/p 😬
if I were picking, maybe something more like this shape, hmm

cosmiccrane15, this thing is actually gorgeous 🙂

edit: Richard Fox72 and yours is pretty decent too 👍
I’d grab something like this myself, just without all that tacky stuff and minus that top floor section 😬

Nathan Cox25, thanks 🙂
This fourth one is definitely my favorite (honestly, I’d probably just add another floor to it) 😍

Forgot to mention—I've always had a thing for the rounded edges 😬

Hey guys, does anyone have a photo of a simple three-layer cake?
I’m thinking maybe a white or beige frosting, and perhaps some subtle floral decorations in soft colors—nothing too loud or obnoxious.
And I definitely want to stick some crazy little topper on top.

p.s. If the cake and cookies come with me, they're on my tab.🙂

Raymond Martinez4, honestly, I think my own list is even more pathetic than that one you posted from your buddy 😉

Look, I know, I saw them 🙂 but that’s just not what I’m looking for 😛

I'll probably check out those few shops if my bank account lets me (right now, I'm strictly on a spending freeze 😢 )

The hotel is going to handle the desserts for us. We’ve hosted a few parties there before, and honestly, their catering is top-tier.
We need to put in a special order for the wedding cake, though.
The plan is to have one smaller chocolate wedding cake, and then let the hotel whip up a few other mini cakes for everyone.
Maybe something cherry, ice cream, fruit-based, or even a cheesecake style.

Quick question for the group. I know you can grab those standard bride and groom figurines at any local bakery, but does anyone know where I can find a better selection if I want to buy them separately? I'm looking for something a little more... unconventional. 🙂

San Pellegrino
Tel: 555-0199
If I recall correctly, they utilize both male and female vocals...

And I think I’ve heard something about a group called Orange... or was it something else? It escapes me...

Orange is actually a band from Siboney. They’re great, but honestly, you probably need to book them way in advance🤷

My favorite one of theirs is the one with the saxophone

(New to this thread, don't ask why😬)
