Hope everyone else is ok x

I hope I have.

OH found this site for hire of suits, note you can ask them for free fabric swatches to check with your colour scheme

A lot cheaper than moss bros, and just £3 per suit insurance is a must

Mupette I wish you'd found this sooner! We're looking at £88 a suit from the same place I got my wedding dress from, this website would save us nearly £150!! We've already put a deposit down though...I don't want to waste £25!

Wow those suits are bargains! Just tried to show OH but he is playing on the Xbox .......

BMs shoes all sorted today. This week I have organised mens suit fittings, booked hair and make up trials, put together one gift list and made appointment to do another and sent out remaining evening invitations! Plus working 5 15 hour days!

We've done ours from Moss - £100 each :eek: Not cheap business!

Hi Jojo, if you're worried about forgetting something, I'd recommend a website with a wedding checklist - I use Wedding Planner because they email me every week with updates on what I need to do!

Girls I am feeling so stressed! The small wedding that we had intially planned on has now turned into 65 day guests and 90 in the evening. I'm sick of guests making demands on me and being rude, fed up with all the organising that gets left to me, sick of my mum making sarky comments as we got the RSVPs here not her house and sick of people just kicking off in general about OUR day!!!!!!!!!

Feel a bit better now I've got it out. Can't really talk to OH as he thinks that its just a matter of us turning up on the day and I'm the one making all the organising if you see what I mean.

awww ladies we need to take a deep breath, swear and mutter under our breaths and then breathe out and smile.

Ok so we have 5 months left.

As long as we have our dresses, our men are in suits, the rings purchased and registrar is arranged that's the important things.

Where the do is
transport
food
booze
dj / cd of music

these things the bridesmaids can help with.

Demanding stroppy family better stop or the invites revoked. As Becca say's this is OUR day, just one little day where we want to be the center of attention. And because it is our day those who are being rude can just b ugger off.

oh forgot to add, had in the post yesterday the sample from the website, now i asked for the sample of cravat in grape, which is what i got, what i should of asked for is also the colour of the suit and shirt etc..

so if you want samples, be careful of what you wish for...

this week for us is type up the invites, and a trip to town at the weekend to look at wedding rings, i said i would have a second hand ring, my engagement was second hand and i chose it, i don't need to have new rings on my fingers.

the invites will be done, addressed, then shipped out to France to be posted to the people invited so they get a french post mark, your all thinking what is she doing.. well my parents live in France and the invites traditionally get sent by the brides parents... and doesn't cost that much more than posting them here in the UK.

And on top of my MS playing up this week, OH bought me back from his office someones lurgy, so have a chest infection to deal with too.... blooming marvelous.
