Evening Ladies,
Well I've been sat down going through my wedding folder with my mum. I will get the following done by this time next week:- Book 1st dress fitting appointment
- Book cake maker and pay deposit
- Book first night hotel accommodation and reserve rooms for guests
- Call venue and ask what they use for table number holders, if they have a piano on site and ask if next part of deposit can be paid by cc so that mum can get her air miles lol
I think that's enough to be getting on with this week
How's everyone else's planning going?
Just realised that it's 21:00 on Valentines night
You're prob all having romantic evenings with H2Bs. We went out for a nice Italian lunch. H2B has decided to work tonight as it should be busy so he can save some more for the wedding

Well all we have sorted is the dresses, the church, venue and the cars! What about you?
I keep having freak outs about silly things - like how many photos I want in the photo album and what colour invitations I want! Everything is so expensive!
I'm so excited though! :T0 -
I still have lots to do the dress is the main thing I need to get sorted, not sure what you want for invites but I went with this company got them the other day and they are beautiful I just went with the colour theme really good price too, I just have to tie the bows now lol

I know what you mean about freak outs I will wake up in the middle of the night thinking about random things that I dont need to worry about yet lol0 -
They are really nice and such a bargain compared to other ones I've seen! I've been thinking about making my own, even though I'm not artistic in the slightest, but anything to save a bit of money!
I even woke up in the middle of the night last night and drew a pic of what I want the invitations to look like! How sad is that!0 -
lol thats funny:rotfl: I thought about doing my own but then found these, a few of people on here are doing their own you might be able to get some tips if you put up a thread for advice0
