Laura- I have ordered a plain box like this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ivory-White-Silk-Card-Receiving-Post-Box-Wedding-/260762664020?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Celebrations_Occasions_ET&var=&hash=item826434c097

which I can then add some ribbon, maybe butterflies and a little bit of writing, think it will come in much cheaper than the £15 my friend paid for her ready done box!!

I am going to ring the caterers soon that our based at our venue to get some ideas of costs for them to do our food, then we can sit down and work out what we can afford and what we want!!

Ah I see Emma thats a good idea to keep everything together! You guys are so good at thinking of everything!

Yeah regarding the sleeves I guess I will have to see what I find when I try stuff on, get someone to add some on! I never ever wear strapless things you see - they just make me feel too exposed and uncomfortable and I have weird bony shoulders that I know nobody else will notice but I will be paranoid about them all day! :rotfl: I'm a fussy cow so it would have to be actual sleeves rather than straps (if you see what I mean) and no longer than elbow length (because I can't wear long sleeves without rolling them up :rotfl: not the elegant effect you want haha!)

Something like this length of sleeve maybe, kind of like a teeshirt sleeve? Not sure about the overall dress though. Apparently it was an M&S dress circa 2007 lol my sources are slightly out of date! It only cost £125! I'll figure it out at some point!


Thats a lovely dress Natalie, love the full skirted look! I know this totally goes against what I've just been whinging about but I think it will look better anyway without the jacket, it seems a bit fussy with? The simplicity of the rest of it is gorgeous.

Thats not a bad price for that box, I've been out buying card today for my 6th Formers and for a decent sheet of good quality card with a nice hefty grammage you are getting up to that price anyway!

Just off to bed now, so sad for a Saturday night lol!

MrsDrink

How about a little lace bolero like this?

Silaqui

Yeah that will probably be what I end up with, they don't look too bad! I should shut up about it really no point moaning till I actually get out there and start looking!

Been to my mum's house today and she likes the idea of the colour scheme too - only problem is she's now gone into overdrive and decided to show me her whole list of wedding stuff that she's bookmarked on the computer - what have I done!! :rotfl:

Awww that sounds fab Mel!!

I have just had an interesting time at MrD's parents. Lots of wedding talk - talked about who to invite etc. Has been really good - and we've actually narrowed it down to 50 people - which I'm really happy about. It was nice to get MrD speaking about who he wanted to invite.

MrsDrink

I have just this minute placed an order with PDA for all the card and envelopes I will need to make all our invites and thank you cards.... so in total (including the card for the trial runs, and my cutting board ruler and knife etc, oh and the writable CDs I got) I will have spent £61.24. I had budgeted £80 so I'm very pleased with this!!

Oh and in that is also enough card to make 44 paper hearts!
