Just signed up to weddingspot, thanks bubbles! I've been fiddling with the to do list, which has made me look really organised because it says I've completed 26 tasks! Have I heck...

As for your wedding dress, the fact that you are comparing all other dresses to the first one you tried on suggests you've fallen for it big style!! Looking forward to a picture when you've made your decision (hint hint )

hi just wondering if anyone else is using wedding spot as a planning tool?
i think its really useful as it has a budget calculator, countdown, to do list, blog and table plan all on one website it also has loads more which wont be relevant to some but good for others

Hi bubbles, thanks for this suggestion - I have had a look and will sign up I think!
Planning a wedding in Scotland from Oz (where we're working at the moment) so it will prove helpful.

At this stage we have set a date, booked the registry office and have started ordering staionery and a few bits and bobs...We've picked where we'd LIKE to have the reception but are still negotiating with them!

ooh good it will be useful to you as you can specify wedding suppliers in certain areas and it will give you their info good luck with the venue

oooo im this to booking a videographer, £700 for all day coverage including first dance with two camera operators!
ive been really fussy again like i was for the photographer, wanting someone reasonably priced but not cheap work!
so after trawling what seems like hundreds im just waiting for the booking form to come through the post and ill be done
what with that and my mum asking the chef where she works(naval base) to do the cake at cost price im going to be saving £100's!

i feel really sick and scared!
i ordered my wedding ring off a US website and got it shipped to my american friend who will bring it with her when she comes over as they wouldnt allow expedited shipping, i have a confirmation email saying it should be delivered today or tomorrow, all fine but im sure the money went out of my account straight away and now it back in there?
it didnt say id paid them it just wasnt showing ie; balance of account:xxx available amount:xxx
which im sure was minus the amount of the ring
now im still not great with keeping on top of my outgoings, i always pay the bills on time but what i actually spend and when i dont keep track of, just check the balance think that looks about right and thats it
i knew this would bite me on the arriss sometime, me not being strict with my outgoings, i will bloody learn now and hope my ring is actually still getting delivered and theyr not banning me as im resident in the UK!:o

bubbles, don't panic! Just send them an email querying why the funds are back in your account when they have confirmed a delivery date for the ring. If the transaction went through in the first place then I'm not sure why they would suddenly have a problem. After all, if you checked your balance and the available balance wasn't a negative number then you know you had enough funds to cover it.

At the end of the day, you have the money back in your account and plenty of time to find another ring. Alternatively you could give your friend in the US the money and she could get it, if a) you trust her and b) the reason it didn't go through was because it was from a UK account (don't see why that would be a problem though).

Let us know how you get on!

ive let it get to me and now im

the 'who to invite' dilemma
the more the months are passing the more its clear ill have to invite people i dont really want to spend x amount on when i dont see them, never speak to but its 'the done thing' to invite them

theres still 15 months to go but the guest list is making me depressed already and i cant seem to get past it

we have the same sort of thing, my dad's side of the family in the most case, we have some that bother with us and some that dont, mainly my dad's step-siblings, i dont want to invite them. the whole family has become divided since my cousin's wedding about 5 years ago, she had a massive wedding and those that couldnt afford to go (like us) have been alienated by the rest of the family ever since
