    Purple all the way.

    Not sure about the multi theme personally.

    My friend got married in September and her theme was black and purple (goth/alternative types!) and everyone in attendance had to wear these colours. It was fantastic as everyone made a real effort.

    Are you on my Facebook? I could post some pictures to show you if you like? Don't want to post them on here as my FB is friends only and it's not my wedding (Harrumph)

    Have just locked myself out of my ING savings account. Now have to ring people to reinstate the PIN or something. Grrrrr. I'll do it in a bit...

    *Shamelessly cut and pasted from another thread*

    Today I ordered from Vistaprint:
    50 'save the date' fridge magnets (slightly more than we needed but come in batches of 25)
    30 matching notecards with envelopes- (will need to post some out but will post as few as possible)
    140 matching return address labels


    Total-£20.61

    This is a LINK to the template I used so you can get an idea of what they are gonna look like.

    It's my first wedding purchase. :D

    (I actually budgeted £16 for the save the date cards but as I had £5 lurking in my paypal account from a refund a while back so I am classing it as £15.61 spent so within budget :rotfl:)

    It helps that we had a paticular date that we wanted so we had to move along on that front. Now that venue is all sorted it's all the fun bits to sort out now :)
