Could the third insert not be an info sheet? You could maybe put a map to the venue on it, details of parking, nearby hotels etc

The insert's not really that big sparklylime. I thought about that but the maps would be tiny. Plus 99.9% of the people coming to the wedding know where it is

Thanks though

what about a card with a DJ song request on it?

nunnygirl

Have got that on the RSVP so people coming to the wedding only have to send one card back.

Think I've resigned myself to not having the third card

Are you having a meal where could put information of the food being served? like song request is a good idea too.
How big is the insert?
hmmm, are you having a a gift list or asking for money etc?

nunnygirl

We're having a buffet and it's usual buffet food

Not having a gift list and not asking for money

Insert...not 100% sure on the size but I think a third of a sheet of a4 paper?

Emma that does make sense ) some of the ladies at work have said same sort of thing where the styles they liked in the mags etc were lovely and what they wanted then when they tried them on they just werent right!
I am wanting to look in mags and online, but i just cant bring myself too.. i am v unhappy with how i look at the moment, and i cant imagine looking nice in a pretty wedding dress, so i need to sort that first!!

everything coming along nicely - thanks!
ordered a few bits from vista print last night, so am excited for their arrival! got a tshirt with bridesmaid and date on it, a small banner and car magnet with Just married on and our names/date (we going away for a few nights somewhere after the wedding over the weekend so its not striaght back to normal) havent told OH bout the car magnet so be a surprise, lol. only had to pay postage for each so am pleased!
What sort of flowers do you like Emma?

Im sure you look fab.... the first thing i said when i tried on my dress was wow, i can't notice my arms (i think they are huge! and i have a waist! I think thats what a proper good dress should do... but i understand you not wanting to look if you dont feel happy. but like i said im sure you look fab and your hubby to be ov thinks the same!

I love vistaprint!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

I like really simple ivory roses, maybe some red in mine too and some pearls to make it sparkle at little bit
Thinking of a single stem flower for the bridesmaids with gold ribbon - Simple and wont cost the earth!!! what about u?

Hope you are well xxxx

Nunny girl did you sort your insert issue out?


Thanks Emma - i dont feel any of that at all - hubby to be does always tell me but i tell him to stop saying things like it! lol. Just do not feel it at all. I have heard that is when you know you found the perfect dress cos it sucks everything in etc! Going to need it big style! Prob have to get some sort of body sock i reckon - lol!
I do worry about going to a dress shop and not having any that will fit... thats scares me a lot!!:eek:
do you just want to go and try your dress on again?!

Vista print is amazing isnt it! had an email today saying that all of the bits i ordered are going to be sent out 13 days early, lol - so they will be coming through the door thursday i hope! Will be at home feeling ill and sorry for myself as i will be having a wisdom tooth out on wednesday with sedation ( so going to be wedding planning when i do feel bit better through the day!

Flowers sound very nice - roses are lovely arent they! only have to sort button holes out for my flowers now - which will be emailing someon about on thursday.
I have artificial flowers; oranger gerberas with orange ribbon for 2 BM, and hot pink gerberas and pink ribbon for the other 2. Good old dunelm mill, each set - £3.99! got some oasis flower spray so have got the exact pink i needed.
For my flowers i have white roses in the middle with orange and pink gerberas round the outside - will have ribbon round the stem and need to get a photo charm too. Will prob get some bling bits to add to them!! my flowers cost £9.98 in total again from dunelm mill!!
FG have flower wands with white gerberas orange and pink ribbon handles and a black net butterfly on them too (think i put a photo a page or two back) i love doing arrangements so in my element!

When do you go to speak to the florists? Like your thinking though - a friend of mine spent £800 in flowers to do church/reception etc. they look amazing but SO much money!!!

hope you are ok too! xxx

nunnygirl

No Curlylou, I didn't.....but I'm not sure I'm going to have the lady make them now as I spoke to my mum last night and she can't justify me spending so much on invites that are only a few pieces of card......I'm up in the air now!

curlylou1986

Oh no - how much was she charging then? is it something you could do your self? I cant remember did you put a picture or anything of them on here?
