well an update re the chocolate!-
well i have had a quote for an hour and a half- this includes- Unlimited chocolate for the entire running time,you can also choose between milk, dark and white chocolate as well as upto eight dips including strawberries, marshmellows, doghnuts etc.

the quote is for an £150 which i feel is alright- i didnt want it for over that time as the cermony at 4-
so i thought-
cermony 4-4.30 ish
casino games and sweet buffet- 4.30-6.30
speeches- 6.30ish
open buffett at 7ish (having a buffett and guests are having a cupcake each from the cupcake cake)
first dance about 8.30?
open disco
choc fountation- 10pm-11.30
disco ends 12

what do you all think?

Ooooo, that sounds good having a chocolate fountain for only 1.5 hours. Where did you find that? I'd love to get a better quote for mine and would be more than happy to have less running time!

I think the running order sounds good. Everyone wants different things don't they? Is it all at one venue? Do you have a photographer? You haven't left time for any photograph time thats all. That can take at least half an hour can't it? And if it were me I would have the choc fountain loads earlier, because we have a lot of kids coming to ours, so I don't know how many guests we would have left nearer the end. But like I say, what works for you wouldn't work for me, so its a bit harder to offer advice if you know what i mean...

Honeymoon sounds fab btw

well what we thought was having photos from 4.30 onwards- so do the family ones first- then they go into the casino, then we have out individual ones, and we join the casino about 5.30
found it via google. she is sending info through the post
we have about 55 guests- and dont have many kids- so not many- but to be honest i am going to be at the choc fountain and everyone will have to budge past me hehe

WITNEY_BRIDE

Hello all,

I am getting married on Friday July 1st - have I got a wedding twin out there? Also July brides have you chosen dresses yet, and any recommendations for places to source cheap dresses?

sammy_wheeler

Plans sound great Sammy!

Witney- keep an eye out for sales in bridal shops but you can also get some lovely dresses at high street shops such as debenhams and Monsoon.

well things have changed- i said no to booking the choc fountain- (at the moment)- had a think about it, and although i love the sound of it- in reality, people will be drinking at that time, and i am not sure people would be hungry at that time- with only having a short amount of time.
but i suppose if i keep it in my mind that i could book it in the future then at least i could potentially change my mind.

i ordered one bridesmaid dress a few months ago from the birmingham seller on ebay- loved it and ordered 2 more- got an email yesterday saying they had been dispatched- so hopefully they should arrive this week- be really glad to get them b4 christmas, so can get them ticked off the list, and then altered in the new year.

we are going to get the wedding rings in the week between christmas and new year.
cant believe its 7 months and 1 week!! going really fast!

Don't Sammy- you'll start me panicking again!! Time seems to be going way too fast and my preparations are too slow!
