Looking to trade invitations to Gold/Platinum Bonding Ceremony on Behemoth

[kwsapphire]

My husband and I will be holding a platinum Bonding Ceremony on Behemoth. We've gotten to the point in The Ties That Bind where I can start selecting options; I haven't started that yet. Our goal is to have the ceremony sometime during the last week of February.

We are looking to trade invitations to someone holding a gold or platinum ceremony on Behemoth. This way you can get the pets at our ceremony, and we can get the pets at your ceremony. (Demon Box and Bridesmoogle) We will hold the ceremony at whatever day and time during the last week of February is convenient for you. (Any time Feb 23-29, 2020.) In return, we'd want an invite for each of us (two total) to come to your gold or platinum ceremony, to be held on Behemoth any time between today and ?the end of February? - with pretty much no restrictions on time or date.

As far as I understand, we all have to be native to Behemoth, as visiting other worlds doesn't permit you to attend bonding ceremonies. (Please correct me if this is wrong.)

Please let me know if there is another sub-forum that this should be posted under. I couldn't seem to find a trade-request or event-sign-up specific section, but maybe I just missed it.

Once I have secured invitations for my husband and myself, I will also be willing to trade an invitation to our ceremony for any of the following:
- A minion that I don't already own. Exception: no mini-NPCs or people. No wind-up (anybody), etc.
See minions I already own here: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...887607/minion/
- High-level, HQ crafting materials (make an offer!)
- Gil (make an offer!)
- ?? Tempt me with something!

Well, since this thread isn't gaining any traction so far, does anyone have suggestions? Should I be advertising this in local chat on Behemoth, instead of here on the forums? Is there another arena where I might drum up interested parties?

In my experience this is probably not going anywhere, at least not the way you're approaching it. A lot of people actually have the pets already and have been to more weddings than they cared to attend in the first place. People who dont have the pets are usually just starting the game and either dont check the forums or couldnt trade you stuff anyways.

...and even if they could - why should they? At least on my server there are enough people around who'll just hand out invitations as a nice gesture (or to have an actual crowd in their wedding-screenshots). Your best bet might be PF or shoutchat... but I'd personally drop the whole "I want something for it"-thing...

I say just do some shouts yells in the different towns and just say anyone wants to come we're having a bonding ceremony giving out invitations etc and you'll probably actually get a lot a people to come.

Thank you both for the advice and information, I very much appreciate it! ^_^

Our bonding ceremony date has been set for Friday, Feb 28 at 6pm eastern. If anyone happens to see this & is interested in trading invites for the minions, please let me know. ^_^

I'd be shocked if anyone wanted to pay to attend a wedding - if anything, I'd expect to get paid to attend yet another wedding hosted by a stranger.

I wouldn't expect anyone to pay to attend a wedding either. OTOH, I'm offering a trade for people who want the minions. If you're not interested, no worries, this post isn't directed at you. ^_^
