Well, you'd have a guest list and someone checking attendance at the door.

Although—perhaps you should discuss who you want on your guest list with Aster, first. That's something normally both of you would do together, and perhaps find a compromise on.

From:

purrrnicious

Sooooo. . . if someone's not on the list, we get to throw them out?

From:

marsascending

That's how private parties work, yes.

From:

purrrnicious

Do we get to have better stuff than the bigger party?

From:

marsascending

It's essential to have better stuff than the bigger party, in fact. That's how you know it's special and elite.

From:

purrrnicious

[Well now her tail is swishing cuz she's super into this idea.]

And they all get to see us having the better stuff so we can rub it in their lame little faces?

From:

marsascending

Precisely, my dear.

From:

purrrnicious

Yeah. Sounds good.

From:

purrrnicious

[Then she half twists to peer at Paloma, cooling off her enthusiasm for being superior to everyone else a little.]

You, uh. You really don't mind doing it? It's probably a hassle, or something. . .

From:

marsascending

Number one, I love an opportunity to go all-out on generating a spectacle. Number two, I love parties. Number three, I love you.

I mean, I'm probably going to ask Yvette to be on-the-ground support for a few things, but she'll be excited about it too.

From:

purrrnicious

Okay.

. . .Thanks.

From:

marsascending

Any time.

From:

purrrnicious

I’ll talk to Aster. . . And Sabre and Arya. If they want to marriage too.

From:

marsascending

Well, my good wishes for you happy couples in the meantime. And I'll have a list of things to think about yourself and also ask them regarding food, decorations, music, and if you'd like to do vows—that's like making a public promise to each other.

From:

purrrnicious

Aster likes this thing called “K-Pop”. And a bunch of different food to try is good — and it shouldn’t be formal, she’ll just get all freaked out about the rules and, like, study for it.

From:

marsascending

Ahaha... so, keep it accessible.

...no gold leaf on it, then.

From:

purrrnicious

Like, a guideline or two is fine, so she's not completely lost. But you have no idea how much Aster can work herself up, seriously, she's a huge dork.

[She says it in a very fond tone, though. This is her idiot wife they're talking about.]

From:

marsascending

My favorite cousin was—well, is a bit like that, honestly. I think I can come up with something that'll please all of you.

[ and one utensil of each kind, we're not going to get weird with the place settings, ok. ]

How do you feel about desserts?

From:

purrrnicious

They're gross, but Arya and Aster would like them, so. . .

Look, I––we didn't exactly have parties in the Fright Zone. That's why I thought I'd ask you, because I don't know how they're supposed to go, and I don't exactly know what to tell you we'd like.

From:

marsascending

I can fill in the blanks on anything where you don't know what to say, then.

The most important part is that you all have fun and feel like it's appropriately special, and I'm sure that's doable.

From:

purrrnicious

Yeah, definitely has to be better than the other party.

We should have a sentry, too, and throw out anyone who tries to sneak in!

[WITH ENTHUSIASM because party superiority is her priority, obviously]

From:

marsascending

Well, you could appoint someone. I suppose that's within the general duties of a Maid of Honor.

...generally you all ask your closest friends and allies to be your wedding attendants, if that's a thing you want to do. They get to wear a special outfit and might participate in the ceremony, and they help make sure everything runs smoothly.

From:

purrrnicious

An "honourable maid"?

[Pls hold, cracking up into squeaky giggles –– she is 1000% picturing a "maid" from what she's seen in the occasional game and/or maid cafe Live tbh, a little frilly black dress and apron kind of deal.]
