Was just wondering what percentage of the wedding day bill are you paying in advance of the actual day?

Online printers for wedding invitations?
H2B has designed our wedding invitations :) Can anyone recommend an online printer or cheap way to get our invitations printed? Just white decent card will do us fine. We were looking at vista print but they seem to be a lot more expensive than they used to be, even with a 25% discount. Thanks :p

find a phase eight dress
Hi, hoping that someone can help me locate a phase eight dress from last year. My daughter (the bride) brought the cobalt blue and white sleeveless dress from phase eight last year for her bridesmaids. Unfortunately one of the girls has not lost the amount of weight she hoped to and so the dress will not fit. Both the…

Hair Accessories - so expensive!
Fellow bride-to-be's; where have you bought your hair accessories from? I looked at a few in my dress shop but thought they were all very expensive (£100+) so planned to look online. I've been looking online but all of the ones I like seem to be just as expensive, if not more so and I have to keep telling myself that it is…

Sugarbits http://www.convertiblewrapdress.com/ Seems a lot cheaper for these convertible dresses than others - I sent an enquiry via their webform (no email address given) about a week ago and haven't heard back yet. The website indicates that they are changing from the winter to the spring colour range at the moment so…

Do You Celebrate the Anniversary of the Engagement, or the One You Met?
This was a conversation I had with my bf, and we seem to have differing views. This was sparked by the fact he will propose some point this year (he has the ring!). Obviously right now we celebrate the anniversary of when we go together, as that is our significant date. He won't propose on that date (been and gone), so I…
