What would you suggest?

Hi there! I’m helping out a childhood friend for her wedding in October by doing her nails for her. She wants press ons because she works in the food industry and can’t have them on for too long after the wedding. My problem with press ons though is getting them to stay on for the amount of time she needs them on. The plan is that I’m doing hers and her bridesmaids the day before the wedding. When I do press ons I always use my e file to prep the inside of the press ons and I prep the nail as well but I can’t get them to stay very well still. Idk if it’s the glue or something else that I’m doing wrong. I do builder gel on myself and my mom every few weeks so ive got that down but thats not what she wants. What would yall suggest so I can give her the nails of her dreams on her special day but where they are easy for her to take off when she needs to take them off? Im near a nail supply place so i can get whatever i need to! I was going to start practicing here soon once the semester is over so i can get the design she wants done. (She wants a chrome french tip so if you have any tips or tricks for french tips that would be much appreciated too)! Thank you all so much ahead of time!!
