I and Catherine Raymond are scheduled to be wed. Now, none but the best venue shall do for us, but... the cost! The effort! If any kind souls have suggestions on effectively raising the supplies, we would be grateful. For echoes will not do- things are needed. Bizarrely, though, rats go a much longer way than their price would indicate... but that's beside the point.
When preparations are nearing completion, we will see about our guest list as well. Cheers!

A night of the town cost you 20 compromising documents (which you can grind at 1.73 echo / action via the box, so for 5.78 action 10 echoes of documents), plus 50 intriguing gossip. Excluding extraordinary successes, you can gain 53 of them with 11 actions via unfinished business, so 10.38 actions
for a grand total of 16.16 actions for the material, plus some X number of actions for the 20 points of mw, plus 1 actions to cash-in. This gives you a weasel and 64 points of Organising a wedding.
This means you have one point of Organizing a wedding for each (0.27 + x/64) actions.
Another really nice options are rats! They give out 10 points for 500 rats.
Keep your hands quick (the best rat source i know) gives on average 1 echo of rats for actions. So you need 6 actions to cash in 10 points of Organizing a wedding.
This means: one point of Organizing a wrdding each 0.6 actions.
By comparing the two, this means that you need to accrue 20 points of making waves in at most 21.12 actions to have that "night of the town" is better than rats.
This is completely feasible via Caligula's coffee house and free dinner.
If you have some tales of terror, you can make compromising documents and MW out of it. And that's nice.
Memento - i did not calculated the mw you need to keep your notability. If you have a really high notability (i would say, 8+) this has to be kept in account.
Some more advices:
- If you have a lot of connected: church and you do not mind to lose it, i would advice you to use your suppers, grind night of the town and then persona reccomandations.
-if you like, i would advice you to side on the church in all the Church VS devils and Church VS great game cards. you will gain only 30 connection points of church, but i think this + the added benefice of scandal reduction / second chanties may be wrathful enough.
- Becoming a writer gives 2 night of the town a week, 1 blackmail material, 1 cellar of wine and some other nice stuff. I think it is worthful the cost to change work.
*** You will receive soon a bag of rats which will help you in the preparations, and an invite to Shylan & Edlaine wedding.

Lady Taimi an I are also engaged and preparing our wedding, but we are settling for a small wedding under false-stars. If I can help out with preparations, send invitations/requests etc. in my direction.

You can also win Making Waves (without the need for Free Evenings) through inviting people in bouts and chess. My character can accommodate such invitations provided that yours have Dangerous and Watchful stats higher than 120.

I have no advice for you, but wish you both all the best!

DragonRidingSorceress is an Author of good standing. Mostly good standing. She's happy to accept any social action except Photographer and Loitering, but requests warnings before duping/poisoning/etc.
Seeker of Names is a... being with an obsession. They're willing to accept all invitations.
One who seeks to know all that is and may be. One who dances in the silence of the void. One whose fantasies make the reality come alive.

No, it does not cost actions to accept rats.
But you need a card to send them, or 1 fate. Even if you have alts (or really nice friends), it is slow, or costly.
The only possibility i see is to have a LOT of friends sending you rats - but, hey, you gain just 10 points of Organizing a Wedding for 5 pack of rats.
Given that most stuff may be upgraded to something useful for the wedding (silks, wines, rumours...) a surprise package may even be more worthful, but if you aim to the 10k wedding, the best thing is people helping you to make waves (for example, through dante / suppers / sending you a request to attend to their salon if you are a writer) in order to get more MW
Rykarmalkus, may you or katherine please send me one of your address via MP?

I share Mr. Malkus's thanks. It is fortunate that I am an Author--that should help us accumulate the necessary resources quickly!
I am writing separately to withdraw from participating in reciprocal Feast gift exchanges for the remainder of this year's Feast. You may continue to send such requests to my alt, cathyr19355 (who is planning to stay safely married to her Cultured Attache). Thanks!

I'm still not clear on the wedding mechanic and in what way we can help out.
I sent a few rats, as people seem to indicate this is useful.
Would an invitation to attend my salon be useful to you at this point in your preparations?
Indeed! The mw is a necessary component for NotT, and not so effectively grindable (apart from boring coffees).
Moreover, one has the possibility to read his / her / other votes or love poetry aloud. And the Bazaar likes it.
Just, be careful to remind the receiver when your "time, the somethinger" arrives, so that the mw boost may me meaningful for both.
