So far I have done:

• Registry Office
• Reception
• Photographer
• Cars
• Cake (Nan is offering to get this and decorate it for me)
• Dress
• Flowers (not yet paid for - but booked!)
• Bridesmaids Dresses/ 1 gift each
• Invitations (done and sent out)
• Honeymoon (:))
• Make up/Hair
• Rings
• DJ
• Food/Buffet (evening)
• I have some of the Table Decorations - not all though!

I still need to do:

• Mens Suits
• Table Decorations (I am waiting to get paid do so that I can get a trial run of my centre pieces, then I will order the rest to fill up the room)
• Jewellery/Shoes/Underwear (shouldn't be too hard!)
• Veil
• Wine/Greeting drinks for the main guests
• Any hair grips/jewells that I/Bridesmaids will need
• Wedding Favours
• Any other room accessories that I want to get
• Food/Buffet (Daytime)
• H2B's wedding day present.

(I can't think of anything else?!)

I would be highly grateful if anyone can spot something that I have missed as I am now starting to panic! I don't want to let it get to panic mode, so if anyone has spotted anything then I would appreciate it if you could help out! I don't want any nastyu surprises closer to the date!!! It doesn't help that I have downloaded an iPhone App that tells me how long I have until the wedding (which currently stands at 82 days!!!) so that I can see the timescales of how long I have to pay things off... scary times!

Thanks!!!

Hi

I get married on the 21st August, pretty much done everything, got let down by the band last week and already sorted a new one. We are just waiting for the other halfs ring. Off to see my wedding planner tomorrow just need to make sure they know everything two and a half months to go.

Have just had a count up and shock horror we have 13 children in the day and 28 in the evening so 41 kids altogether! Thankfully our venue has said we can have a bouncy castle so that should keep them entertained! Have also invested in some garden games and bits and bobs so kids should be content and the adults can relax and enjoy themselves!

Has anyone got their ceremony songs sorted? Im having a nightmare with deciding and the deadline for this to be sorted is friday, eeek!

We had our rings delivered this week. Except Goldsmiths got it wong, i had ordered a band with 12 diamonds, they sent the lesser model with 6 diamonds and was a thinner width. Cost me £50 to take thing back to meadow hall not a happy bunny.
