Hey everyone! Thankyou so much for all the wonderful advice! I'm curiously to know how you all kept costs down? What you did?
Piggers, do you really think thats expencive? I guess when you think we'd have to add ontop the registras fees which are astronomical it would be pushed up. When you break it down-
Room for ceremony
Reception room
Buffet for 100
Wine for toasting
Wedding planner
Master of ceremonys
Disco
Room for jase and i

Realistically if we split that up what would it normally cost? Im looking into it now but advice from anyone would be muchly apriciated.
Piggers what do you think would be a more cost effective idea/ideas?

I've started writting lists etc. Oooo and i couldnt possibly ever leave out my two baby sisters....i've promised Twittany(Brit) since she was little and she is still very much excited now! Its not a huge problem like i said as we will only have to pay for our two's dresses
I should have mentioned ages/sizes etc, Hellenjelly Thanks for the lovely offer but the size is no good unfortunatly. Ages are 12-18months, 5, 12, 14 and 15years...and Lewis suit wise will be 4-5years.
I've been peeking on ebay and some of the stuff is amazing....found some lovely dresses for about £17 all in. Also the most beautiful wedding dresses, made in hongkong or china and delivered for about £100...I thought i might go round a few shops and check out styles then have a think...just worried its a bit of a risk? Thought at least if i knew the styles i could pick one, get Jase's Aunt to messure me properly and then, god forbid if it came and didnt fit Anne could adjust it? What do you all think?
Look at me babbling on again, so sorry! Maybe i should start my own thread lol and you could come over there instead of me hijacking the flyladies! x

I wouldn't risk the ebay hongkong dresses, I ordered an evening dress from one of them and the quality was appaling. Not something I'd risk for the most important dress ever!

Also what/why a wedding planner, isn't planning your wedding half the fun?

My wedding cost about £150 lol, it was a rush job but even if it hadn't been the idea of spending thousands on one day is not something I can get my head around unless you're really rich. My best mate is still paying for her wedding a year after they divorced! :eek:

Hi everyone

Thanks for all the DH messages - he's had a cat scan so now we're waiting for the results, he's on the Surgical Assessment Unit - hoping thats not gonna happen as he's meant to be starting a new job on Monday - you know, in this house it never rains - but by golly does it bloody poor down, we go from one thing to another with hardly a pause for breath, still, he's on pain relief now which is helping a bit so the waiting game begins. I'm dreading telling kiddies later as they adore him and DD will automatically cry and ask if he's going to die!!!!!!!!! If he's staying in tonight I'm taking them in to see him [with chocolate for them and him] so that they can see that he's not at deaths door

Thank you everyone

healing vibes for hubby and hope they get to the bottom of the problem soon

Greenbee - Hope your father has a safe journey
Skipsmum - :mad: at the bank account. Had my identity stolen a few months back and was really unsettling
Zoe - Have a friend who has ordered all her bridesmaids dresses off Ebay from Hong Kong/China and she has been well pleased with them. As somebody said, would check out the comments from buyers.

Thanks Polly. Hopefully he'll get there OK (unfortunately I haven't yet managed to get tracking sorted out on his car ). I think he might be spending more than two nights there though, given how much snow is supposed to be dumping itself on us overnight. It looks as if it'll be here soon.

Dustykitten

Back now and it is lovely here if very cold, well stocked up now but don't know how much snow we will get.

Going to put the shopping away, make a cuppa and then catch up.

Valli - glad you got back ok
