Everything you need for a Midwest wedding

Walter Price5 said:Has anyone traveled through Canada lately? I'm wondering about the availability of supplies like lapel materials, tulle, and things like that.

I've heard it might not even be worth the trip. I mean, it really just depends on what you're looking for, I guess. But still... 🤷
I'm probably gonna head over there anyway, if nothing else just to grab some decent BBQ. 😁
Plus, I heard there's this shopping center near Orašje that carries di Capriov outfits, and apparently, the prices are pretty great!
If all else fails, at least we'll get a little road trip out of it and find some good food!!! 🤣

I don't think there is anything special there, though I guess ties, lapel pins, or bowties are sold by the bag rather than individually. 😁

frozenangler87 As I have noted before, one must consider the broader implications of such matters.
There is also some talk going around that there is a shopping center located somewhere near Orašje that carries Di Capriov suits, and apparently, their prices are quite reasonable!
If all else fails, at least we can enjoy a little friendly banter over some good old-fashioned cheeseburgers! 🤣

I find myself in complete agreement with the most recent point made here. 😁
So, where exactly around Orašje are we talking about? All I’ve heard lately is some chatter regarding a suit shop over in Bosanski Brod. I’m actually planning a trip out toward Orašje myself quite soon—mostly just to stock up on groceries and perhaps make a quick stop at Aroma. 😉)

Hey, does anyone know how much organza usually goes for? Specifically looking for the average price of a 10m bolt. The venue is offering to source a 10m roll for me for $12, but I have zero clue what the going rate is... so I can't tell if that's actually a good deal or just standard pricing everywhere else...

I think it might be Yoko Ono. Actually, I don't think it's even in that small town in Ohio, maybe it's in some small town in Kansas? I honestly have no clue!
People say if you're in that small town in Ohio, you take that big turnoff where you head straight for the highway, then take a right and just follow the main road, I guess. 🤷

That sounds like an amazing price to me—I doubt you'd find anything cheaper out there. Usually, if you walk into a local craft shop or a florist, a roll will run you at least $27. Just make sure to ask about the width, though... for that kind of money, it should be at least 50 cm wide...

Alright, thanks a ton!

Does anyone happen to know roughly what the department prices are like over at Yimor? I'm thinking about heading out toward the corridor soon, so I figured I'd check.

Or you could just flip through their online catalog to see what's available—it's got all the pricing listed for things like men's coats, and I think there are some helpful guides in there too, if I remember correctly.

Man, Robin Chase7, you are a lifesaver!! 😁
I didn't even think to just Google it, haha!!!!! Now I actually know where everything is!!!
Basically, it's like a big shopping hub, kind of like a Walmart or a Kroger. They've got their own grocery stores plus all sorts of other little shops!
I'm pretty sure one of those shops would be the Nike one.

If anyone happens to be heading over to Yeti to check out their suits, would you mind letting me know what the prices look like? Feel free to just shoot me a DM. Thanks so much!

Ladies, just so you know, there are several Yeti stores out there. The one that carries the suits is actually located just outside of a small town in Ohio—it’s in a small town in Indiana, about 10 miles away from the main area... Since I'm from that part of the Midwest, I can head over there and check on the suit prices for you if you'd like.

🙂
Robin Chase7, bluetiger332, my sincere thanks to you both! 👍

Yeah, yeah, we figured out it was the small town in Indiana, not the other one I was thinking of 🤦
If you get a chance, let us know the prices!! We're all super curious!!!! 🤣

I’m honestly sitting here trying to crunch the numbers for all the drinks and refreshments, but I am just completely lost on how much this is actually going to cost me?! I was wondering if any of you ladies who have taken the lead on organizing food and drinks for charity fundraisers might be able to help me out? So, just for some context, the wedding is going to be out in the Midwest with about 450 guests expected! If there's already a specific thread for this kind of thing, please feel free to move my post; I just couldn't seem to track down the right spot myself!🤷

Are you looking for budget estimates or more like specific quantities?

frozenangler87 said:Are you looking for budget estimates or more like specific quantities?

Honestly, I guess I could probably use a bit of both, if I'm being real.😕

Hmm...
For about 160 people:
- Red wine - 26 gallons
- White wine - 13 gallons
- Coca-Cola - 21 gallons
- Fanta - 10 gallons
- Sparkling water - 1 bottle per person
- Juice - 10 gallons + some apple juice
- Tonic water - 1 quart
- Whiskey - 1 quart
- Hunter - 1.3 gallons
- Homemade moonshine - 1 quart

I guess I put down way more than what's actually needed. A lot of this stuff will probably be left over, so if you're grabbing it from somewhere like Costco, maybe you can just return whatever isn't used.

And money... mmhmm... My dear brother got married about three and a half months ago, and they spent like $7,000 $0.00 on a crowd of 550 people.

It really depends, I suppose, on what kind of crowd shows up to the wedding. Like, the venue owner told us that if we have a younger group, they'll definitely go through more Hunter, otherwise, not so much. So, I think it's better to just get extra and then return the leftovers.

If anyone else has their own standard list, it would be awesome if you could share it. This is just what I usually do!

More red than white?? I highly doubt that ever happens at a Midwest wedding🙂
And for us, almost none of the Hunter or other hard stuff even moved. We had bottles of local peach brandy and walnut liqueur out on the tables, and those were the things that actually flew.

Yeah, totally... it feels like there’s always twice as much red being poured compared to white. At least, that’s how it looked in every guide I ever read. Especially out in the Midwest! Most people just stick to the reds (even though I'm more of a white wine girl myself, I guess)! And honestly, when I really think about it, I rarely see anyone around me sipping on white! Everyone just goes straight for the red. They say white is mostly just a thing down in California!
