    It definitely is, but do we take the chance that they will have them in when we want them. I don't know if I would wnt to risk it, but it is a really good deal, I only want 50 and then was going to buy a top tier to cut. If they are anything like the pic they look fabulous, and exactly how I want mine. What would everyone else do, take the risk or play it safe. Tiger x


    Thats exactly what I'm doing, we're not having speeches or pretty much anything else traditional so we decided just to cut a cake to keep the nans happy!! I got a cake stand off ebay for £15 inc postage which is just clear perspex so we can decorate how we want and it has up to 7 tiers so you can have as many cupcakes as you want or you can choose how big the top tier is and then make the cupcakes fit on the lower tiers xxx

    Just enquire if you could place an order for them to order some in for you, most supermarkets do it and when you want to order them you know if you can or not. Simple.

    I got my 7 tier stand of ebay too for £17 i was going to get 8 tiers but i thought that was a bit much and although i am tall i don't want it towering over me lol. Bargain i think.

    Hi guys

    Haven't posted for a while, sorry. Finally set a date (well, a weekend) - the weekend of Sat 26th September 2010. I have a few questions though:

    We are planning a registry office wedding - are the fees as low as it says on Manchester City Council webisite? ie £60 for notice of marriage then £43.50 for the wedding - do I not pay anything extra for the registrar if we're getting married there, is that just if they have to come to another licensed venue?

    I have chosen my wedding music (Tom Baxter, either 'Better' or 'Light Me Up') - where can I play this? In the registry office? If so, when?

    As it's over a year away, is it wise to send out simple Save the Date cards now? Or should I wait until I've actually booked the registry office?

    And speaking of which, I know I can't sort out the notice of marriage until 12 months before but can I book the registry office yet?


    Argh so many questions! Thanks xx
