We had a really small wedding of about 40 people. Our rule was that the people invited had to know both my husband and I as a couple. We didn’t want to have to introduce each other at our own wedding.
I like that idea that a wedding is a “now” thing, like it’s in the moment, you’re absolutely right! Go with your heart on that Sami, you are totally right in having the people there who are in your life right now, in this moment in your life, that bring you joy, friendship, and support. ❤
My sister had a destination wedding with 30 people. She invited only people she see’s regularly. It was mostly friends, immediate family and close family friends. It being a destination made it a fun long vacation weekend with all the people they cared for the most! It was the best ❤
Hi Sami!! I just wanted to let you know how much of a blessing you and your content is for my life. I am obsessed with your FORM workouts, they push me and challenge me, and you keep me motivated the whole way through. I love listening to your podcasts or watching your videos when I need some inspiration or advice to better myself ❤️❤️ this has been especially helpful right now because I’m a college student and it’s finals season, so it’s hard to stay motivated and happy during this last stretch of the semester! Wishing you all the best and have a great holiday season!
Some of the best wedding advice I got was that the people you invite shouldn't have to ask what you've been up to in the last 2-3 years. We had a "send-off" dinner before our elopement and only had 25 guests, but they all knew exactly what was happening in our lives at that time. Even though they didn't all know each other beforehand, they easily found common ground with each other because there weren't too many dots for them to try and connect, and it made the vibes genuinely immaculate - so warm, loving, and personal. Honestly I wouldn't do it any other way. So excited for you and best of luck as you plan your wedding day ❤️
tip for having trouble deciding who to invite: follow your gut because you know who you want to be there with y'all on such an intimate day! I got pressured by parents into inviting people that "wouldn't come" and then later had to tell them the venue didn't have space bc so many people had said yes and it was so awkward and wish I had trusted my gut weddings nowadays are so crazy and it's hard not to get caught up but you are right, it's a now thing and it's just a day to celebrate your relationship and moving into a new stage of life! marriage is amazing no matter how the wedding ends up! (although i'm sure it will be beautiful)
Your videos are so calming, and such an inspiring lifestyle! I am obsessed with your content, it makes me feel motivated and wanting to better myself and do what you do ❤
Hi Sami. Really enjoyed this video. Love River and her understanding your requests 😂 Christmas decs look stunning. Hope your are enjoying your Tesla as much as we are enjoying ours ❤ We had 75 people at our wedding and I had to cut extended family as we wanted more friends who we see more often to come and be part of our day. It’s about you and JT and people will understand xx
We are currently in the process of finalizing our guest list as well and I thought it was so relatable when you said you don't want to have a catch up at your wedding. We are only inviting close family and friends we see regularly as well!
Hi Sami, how’s your journey to balance hormones going? I remember you tried having some fruit before your morning coffee - did that work for you? Do you still practice that? Another question (doesn’t mean anyone should follow your routine though), how many hrs/mins before your workout do you have your breakfast/morning pick-me-up? You’re awesome, and please keep sharing your journey! We love you xx
Hmm for the wedding maybe I'm different. Just because I haven't spoken to someone in awhile doesn't mean I wouldn't invite them, it's about the quality of the overall relationship and assessing if you will regret not having them there. I'd also feel bad if they invited me and I didn't, but do what feels right!
I did the exact same thing for my wedding. It was only people currently active in my life that were invited. Cousins I hadn't seen in years weren't invited same for my husband. Don't regret any of those decisions. It all worked out and people totally understood. Also opted for no children at our wedding. I courtesy called everyone with children before the invites went out stating an adult only event. That also worked out just fine! Luckily I think people are more understanding these days.
For the guest list: I think you have to make sure to not confuse a family reunion vs. a wedding!❤ And truly, if you haven’t seen some people for over a year, chances they ll even make it to your wedding are very thin…😂🤷🏼♀️
Invite people that are close to you and are current in your life. If there are others that you want to invite, but can't afford to, have them over to your house after the wedding. You can do brunch or cater it. Only really for extended family or friends that you couldn't see. You may find that some people that you invite may be unable to attend. So, keep a short alternate list. Don't listen to your family. Guilt is a motivator. Do it the way that you and JT want. Do not send a wedding photo afterwards to uninvited guests. My stepson did that to his cousins. They were so pissed off because they weren't invited to the wedding but felt like he was soliciting money/gift.
I totally know what you mean regarding your wedding guest list. People don’t really understand how expensive it is unless they’ve planned a wedding before. Since it sounds like your wedding is destination (Mexico right?), I assume even if you invite all your cousins and family members, chances are most of them won’t be able to make it. Could your mom and dad tell you or get a sense of if they think those people would come? If not, it would be worth sending an invite to make them feel included even if you know they won’t attend. Also you’d get extra gifts out of it lol. If you think everyone would attend, then that’s where it gets tricky. I do think leaving cousins out might cause drama. If your parents want those family members there and they are paying for it, I think it’s fair to include those people. If you and JT are paying all on your own, then you can use money as an excuse. Leaving old friends out is totally understandable though. It’s tough, I get i
Amazing, it's nice to see others who work with Sir sam Altman. He's a very sincere person and understands the difficulties faced by new traders.I'm a citizen of the United kingdom and I'm proud of the success we're making in the cry"pto world.
You should not be obligated to invite people you haven’t seen in yrs. Weddings are so expensive now If I got married again I would only invite the people I talk to and see yearly
Hi Sami! I need your help 🥺 I’ve been doing your workouts for more than 2 years now (started with IG 🫶🏻) and I am training 5-6 days a week always fasted … it worked at the beginning but now I am feeling super inflamed and I am gaining weight ( I tried IF afterwards on top…) Do you think eating something before working out could help? 🥺 (with hormones maybe?)
