    Yes I can use my own DJ, I’ll just need to phone around and get some quotes.
    The other thing I’ve been having trouble with are the invitations, I would like to make my own and was thinking about do something along the lines of a message in a scroll or in a bottle. I found this a few days ago and thought it could work.. what do you all think?

    I made my invitations. the only thing that would put me off the scroll type is if you are having to post them out. It may work out expensive.

    Well I would probably be able to deliver by hand most of them.
    I would have to post the ones for Portugal though…

    I just made mine out of card and used a couple of different sized heart shaped craft punches, some ribbon, sticky jewel hearts, and the dreaded peel offs for the lettering. Looked quite good, and I used the smallest size punch to make table confetti out of the off cuts of card. No waste here.

    just going off topic for as sec.. i think sarah's flowers aren't as cheap as people think they are (all depending on what flowers you are having) as i said in another thread i have seen some made to order ones on ebay with 2 posies and a bouquet for about 40 odd quid and they're reputable too.

    JayJay,

    can you post the sellers name please? I'd love to have a look!
