I don't mind some of his songs but he comes across as a bit smug! Yeah definitely too big for the tv show, everything sounded all tinny!

I never even though about relationships changing! OH's sister has a BF that she's been with for about a year now so he'd be invited, but I don't want to give her a plus one then she breaks up with him and brings some randomer with her! Do you think that's the sort of situation to put a name on the invite so it's him or nobody?

I have no idea how it works! Its difficult though cos I was thinking say you invite and name both people on the invite but they then split up- would the other person (so in your case sil2bs boyfriend) still think they are invited??

I wasnt really thinking of people breaking up- it was more single people getting with someone and expecting them to be invited- so now I may turn Bridezilla if anyone goes breaking up with anyone, or demanding I invite their new partners!!

Ok what would people do in the case: my friend is invited all day- because of limited numbers ive had a chat and explained her boyfriend is more than welcome in the evening and she was fine with this- do I give her her invite as normal and leave it at that or should I give her boyfriend an evening invite (but if they then split up what would I do?- I dont think they will but you never know)!!

I think I would send her a day invite, and send the both of them an evening invite.....

:rotfl: If anyone ever says it's a doddle planning a wedding they need shooting! Hahaha!! Mmm what to do about invites!

If I was going out with someone, and a member of their family/friends sent us an invite to the wedding or reception and then I broke up with that said person, unless I was super close to the couple getting married I would see that as my exit from the show. I wouldn't want to tag along to a wedding where I know very few people just because I was invited once because I was dating the groom/brides family/friend. So on that basis I am writing people's names on my invites where I don't want them to have the freedom to bring a 'plus oner' along. On the assumption that if they break up the 'partner' wouldn't turn up.

With respect to people forming new relationships - if they are currently in a relationship, that breaks down and they form a new one - I wouldn't mind that because it's still 2 people already accounted for. And of all the people I'm inviting only 1 of my friends is single at the moment. And she is the only person I'm giving a 'plus one' to. (I'm actually hoping she'll bring her mum cause she is fab but I don't know whether to formally invite her cause what if she would rather bring someone else/finds a guy to drag along lol). So either way her extra guest is already counted in.

Now onto Emma's dilemma - I would send her a day invite, and with it (in the same envelope) I would send him an evening invite. That way it's still obvious you are inviting them as a couple, and he's getting an invite because he's seeing her, not because he's your friend.

Bloody wedding etiquette lol.

Well I have nothing weddingy to do today - just Christmasy things - need to wrap up my Secret Santa, and write my Christmas cards. I've just ordered MrD 2 more extra pressies - but they aren't really Christmas ones cause he'd be needing them for our honeymoon anyway - a dive rattle and some fins. I won't bother wrapping them up with fancy paper and putting them on the Christmas Pressie Table (can't go under the tree cause Bun would eat all the paper lol). But I will give him the box they come in to open on Christmas day morning. Have ordered him the same fins as I got for my Birthday but in Blue to match his wetsuit. Then all that is needed is a Dive computer and some dive boots each. And I hope I'm getting mine for Christmas. Will save us money by not having to buy them at a later date.

Only 14 more sleeps till Christmas :T

haha- ithink I could turn into bridezilla with invites. Ive already had a bit of a huff about people mentioning plus ones- im insisting that unless I have met new partners a few times before the wedding the new partner will only have an evening invite!! We are so limited on numbers that I think I have one or 2 spare places, but people who are currently single have not been given a plus one so it depends how many spare places I actually have closer to the time anyway! This may sound mean but I have had to be strict on numbers and on our guest list and I wouldnt want to not invite a really close friend for say an uncles new girlfriend!!

oh ive just been looking at a friends wedding photos, and now I do want chair covers! I have convinced myself we didnt need them- but they do look lovely!! (but im trying to convice myself once everyone is sat down you really wont notice!!)

MrsDrink

I absolutely agree about not wanting to invite a plus one over a close friend! And yep I would turn into Bridezilla over that!!

I agree - Chair covers do look lovely - BUT the photos you've seen - were they taken before anyone was sitting on them? Cause I do think once people sit down you won't actually notice them. (That being said I would want them if I was having a more formal do)... oh lol just read the rest of that paragraph you've written and I do think you won't notice them once everyone is sat down.

Well my Christmasy things have started this morning - for my Secret Santa I've bought a mug that you can paint on - and I've written on it "All I got from my Secret Santa was this crap mug". Lol. It looks so ace ha! It's in the oven as I type 'cooking'. Very pleased with it.

Well i have dropped a facebook message to someone who is doing an amazing deal on chair covers at the mo- although I think because they are so cheap they will be booked for our date- they replied about an hr ago to say they will inbox me- so im just waiting, then I will have a serious think about them. We arent having that formal, and the chairs at our venue are ok from what I remember, I guess I will just wait and see what this company reply.

Haha- I love your secret santa gift. I need to sort mine. I have got a couple of bits- the person I picked is the one person who wasnt that keen on doing it, so Ive decided to do a little hamper of their favourite things! So far I have marizpan and pickled onions! I will also get a batternburg cake, nesquik milkshake and peanut butter and I need to get a little basket or box to put it in!!

PinkPrincess83

Well ive had a reply from the chair cover people- they are free on our date! Now I need to see if I can get oh to agree!

MrsDrink

Fabby!!

Well I've just done Davina's Top Fit DVD - cor worked hard tonight. Got a sweat on and if my arms don't ache tomorrow it'll be a miracle!
(My very naughty sneaky peek this morning showed I've lost the bloated-water gain from Friday's meal out... now to carry on and shed 1lb this week).

You'd have to go for the bride though wouldn't you? The baby'll be there the next day, the wedding won't! Best of luck to you both though Laura

Just watching the X factor final, god I hate Michael Buble, what a nob he is. And how BORING was Leona Lewis?

I have made a decision about my invites . . . it came to me whilst i was searching through some previous attempts i had photographed. I like the shape, size, purple edged ribbon with bow and button, its the paper on the front i dislike -the colours just aren't right. It was from paperchase and it is purple and glittery but it has a lot of teal in it too and i am purple, lilacs and pinks. So i have sourced this paper instead and ordered some to trial:

Perhaps i can get it right this time as i would really like to get them together over the Christmas half term. I still feel like there is loads to do but there is so much i can't sort/buy until much nearer the time. I am feeling very impatient at the mo and just want to get married now!!!
