Indicative cost per head for meal?
We have the venue for our wedding booked, and it's a National Trust property. This means we can use our own caterer which we were really pleased about as we are extremely fussy about food - as in quality and origins, not what we actually eat, we're not picky at all in that respect ;) . We have found someone I really want…

Opinions on this gift for my bridesmaids
Hey ladies So I have been humming and hawwing over what to give my bridesmaids and then I came across this amazing tea cup today.
