    Thanks YB and Primula!
    No date set yet. The earliest will be next April.
    We're concentrating on getting the house move done before we start planning!

    Congratulations on your engagement!

    I would also advise decorating before you move in, it's so much easier than having to turn rooms upsidedown to decoration once you've moved in.

    I can't wait to move in- I want to be doing things not waiting!

    When the time comes if you need any help with the planning give me a shout. I'm not an expert but learning fast as I go along.

    Thanks YB- very kind!
    Thanks SH- I've had a browse over there. My main problem at the moment is deciding exactly what we want. Where we are prepared to pay out more and where we're not fussed. I'd certainly be prepared to make or print my own invites for example. I'm a bit scared about organising it all to be honest.
