    It's so exciting to say that we are getting married next year! :j :j :j

    We've got the venue booked and we've finalised the guest list - but that's it! I don't know where to start really... :o

    It was the first thing out of my mouth after wishing my fiance a happy new year - we're getting married next year, YAY! A couple of my friends got engaged over Christmas as well so I've now got more people to talk weddings with :D

    I've really lost track when it comes to planning though the last couple of months so it's time to get back into it. We've had so many problems with our venue & their lack of communication that it's really put a dampener on things. September 19th was when we confirmed we wanted to book - as things currently stand they still have yet to take a deposit off us :( I think a strongly worded letter is in order - will be popping back on here for advice about what I'm writing more than likely!

    some thankyou gifts
    lady favour things (there big favors!)
    mens favors

    erm.... i have a full wardrobe full of stuff ive been pickin up weekly to avoid buying at once = big cost but storing is becoming an issue now im having to use xmas pressie space lol

    i have now fished my folder back out to keep an eye on the savings plan and tick things off.

    The only issue i have is my blummin centrepieces im SICK to death of thinking about them now last feb i was fine i wanted a fish bowl with floating flower but then i got thinking coz theres a few of friends getting wed same year its a common centrepiece so wanted something different and have been down the edible road but too many problems thinking about kids and poking things so ANY piccies ladies would be much appreciated im lookin for something i can pick up easily and put together :) xxx

    OH and I have appointments to look at some venues this weekend and next weekend. Very excited about it all!

    We haven't definitely decided on a month yet- May 2012 is what we are aiming for- so wouldn't join a month thread yet, but if there are a lot of people who have booked theirs/are certain then it could be a good idea.

    I'm intending to start a thread as soon as it's confirmed whether I will be an August or a September 2012 bride!! Don't know how many people will join me though - it might just be a White_Sapphire updates thread for a while :p

    Becca, I think you should be the trendsetter and start a thread for your month - we'll follow as we gradually get our collective backsides in gear... :D
