LOL, my Groomzilla has been moaning at me since December to send our invites out as we're 'not giving our guests enough notice'- we didn't even book it till February and we're getting married next February! I sent out Save the Dates in late Feb/early March to keep him happy but he wanted the actual invites to go out a month later! They're going out when I decide they're going out- he can't out-zilla me!

OMG are we marrying the same person? :rotfl:
I haven't even sent save the dates yet (getting married next May, only engaged at christmas) and mine is already asking when invites are going out as people want to book the hotel.... err, I was thinking January next year, or maybe even December then we can put a christamas card in at the same time! :rotfl:

lol you can put out with the save the dates, that if they want to book a room at the venue they can do so.

that's probably what i'll be doing so if anyone is definitely going they can book their hotel room in advance. we definitely won't be sending out save the dates to anyone who isn't going to the full wedding anyway.

Good thinking! Think he got a bit panicked because his over excited friend sent us the invite to her wedding (which is on a Saturday in a local venue so you don't have to really organise getting there or getting time off work) 9 months before it is happening! 9 months! We've lost and found that invite so many times I'll be glad when its over next month so I can throw the bloomin' thing out! Speaking of Bridezillas... I've barely spoken to her in months as she's turned insane!

The ting that amuse me is our venue saves us 15 rooms for our guests- there really is no panic but all his side of family are having kittens over getting booked! :rotfl:

My H2be is a Groomzilla as he is demanding we spend £500-ish on chair covers for the reception because it will look more 'weddingy' and I'm not even bothered! :rotfl:

I have one of these too! We went to a wedding fair a few weeks back, and now he wants to go and visit one of the most expensive venues in our area, wants chair covers, wants a piper and wants to order really expensive stationery! Will be the first and last wedding fair I take him to lol!

Do they not realise that we are MSE Bridezillas and as such have a budget to stick to?! :rotfl::rotfl:

A year is crazy for invites!
Save the dat is fine with that much notice, as people will be able to book cheap hotels, make sure they dont have any date clashes etc.

Explain to MrZilla that 3-4months before is sensible, as people are more likely to give you an accurate yes or no!

yup ours saves 25 for us but we have a good few travelling from Scotland so i'm happy to let them book away, most of mine will probably be heading back to their homes anyway as the reception venue is fairly local anyway.

i've also got friends coming from belfast so i'll probably send the hotel info out to them and the OH's scottish ones in the save the dates.

We'll get the family booked that will be staying and then the rest can book when we send out the main invites.

My confession is that i could not give two hoots about any of it much to my over excitable families and MILs horror!

This is me too, I'm not bothered who's coming, what colours everything is, if the favours are co-ordinated, where everyone is sitting... it just seems so trivial and stupid to get stressed over stuff like that, I think I'm a complete anti-bridezilla to be honest. As long as the people who do come have fun, get drunk and dance the night away (as I am definitely planning to, sod being all womanly and reserved... I'm having a good time and drinking as much as I would on a normal night out!!) then I'll be more than happy. That probably makes me a bridezilla in everyone else's eyes.
