Woo get me back online!lol


my place cards arrived yesterday. Going to ask my stepdadvif he will write them out as ge has nice handwriting and gives him a little part! Stupid question but do you put for example 'mum' or their name?

Thanks

MrsDrink

For us at our wedding I would put things like "Nat's mum" but then we're really low key and super informal (well that was the idea till MrD decided he wanted tables :rotfl:). I think if you want a more formal event then their full name's might be best. I wouldn't put just "mum" though because I'm assuming there'll be at least two mums there

And *yay* for you being back online. Just say when you want to take the list back over on Page 1.

:T Getting my hair done today and *hopefully* will be getting my passport photos taken - but that depends on when I finish at the hairdressers. (Appointment is at 3, Boots closes at 6). Fingers crossed cause then I can send off my passport application on Monday :T

What is everyone's plans for the weekend?

MrsDrink

Well it's very quiet on here! You must all be out enjoying the sunshine... how typical though - last weekend of the holiday and the sun pokes out!! It is lovely here. I've been a good girl and have organised the food shopping for the week ahead - I had already organised the meal plans in the week, but just jiggled them around a bit so I would have less wastage of ingredients. (Sat here watching Saturday Kitchen drooling hahaaaa)

Gulp... it'll be 3 months on Tuesday!! Weeeeeeee where has the last month gone!!

I will warn you now - I may not be posting quite so much in the coming term - ha (was that a sigh of relief?!). Work is a tad stressful at the moment with potential redundancies, some compulsory, majority 'voluntary'. It's going to be rather emotionally draining so I may not want to come and chat much - but I'll be lurking and reading.

MrsDrink

:T So I have a confirmation of when Mum and me are going to the bridal shop next so my mum can learn how to tie up my dress, and so we can bring the dress home (well I'm going to ask my mum to take my dress to hers). 19th May here we come!! So that is 5 weeks. Time to suck it up and get down to business!! I will look less bloated by then and will get another photo taken. (Although I won't be wearing my jewellery, shoes or have my hair and bridal make up done... don't want my mum to get the full effect until the day of the wedding!!)
Soooo excited!! It's nearly here guys!! Eeee

FutureCooper - I'm having my teeth whitened ATM and LOVE the results so far!!!

Details- what, where and how??

Still house doing and not wedding doing atm. Although I am mid arguement with H2B over evening guests I have on my list. We are at stale mate. I say there coming and he says no he is not comfortable about it. IMO he's not seeing the whole picture so *blows a raspberry childishly* im inviting them anyway!!! He has 6 people on his list I have never met. Aarrggh weddings always cause friction. I thought i had avoided it

MrsDrink

Oh no Mel!! Can you not do it like choosing players for a game of footie at school... I'll have Jack, I'll take Paul, I'll have John. Etc My turn your turn lol.

Well I have lovely red hair again, and got my passport photo taken. Not 100% sure they will be accepted as I'm ever so slightly looking downwards and my face is ever so slightly off to one side. But I'll send them on Monday and see.

On a plus note I popped into Lakeland - I love that shop - and got some individual pie dishes for our tea tonight - mmmm!!

Soooo the next weddingy thing on my list of things to do isn't until the 26th - when I can book our seats and add some extra baggage for our honeymoon. *sigh* That is AGES away :rotfl:

How has everyone else's Saturday's been?

If you do the check and send thing then don't they tell you if they'd be accepted or not?

Very exciting about getting your dress :j

I have bought my (hopefully, anyway) dress this weekend :j it's off ebay so I haven't even tried it on but hopefully it fits and I love it. I love the pictures of it, anyway. it's new, still got it's tags on, but she ended up buying a different dress. will be very happy if it's perfect as I was planning to get one on the high street and would have had to spend about £200-300 there, and this is a 'proper' wedding dress and only cost me £125 :T:T

Just got to wait for it to arrive now, and hopefully that's another BIG job ticked off the list!

They do - but I'm tight and don't want to pay for the privilege. :rotfl: What's the worst that can happen... right?!

Yaaaaaaaay :T:T... ooooo pictures!! Share share share :T
Now we'll all be on tenderhooks hoping it comes fits and looks perfect on you!! Exciting!!

Oh I forgot to say - while I was at my hairdressers I asked her about hairspray, explaining I tried Elnette but couldn't stand the smell. Anyway she has recommended me another one, which she sprayed so I could smell it :rotfl:. She says it has the hold of elnette just without the smell. So I thought I'd share it with all of you incase you need/want a nice smelling hairspray with good hold. It's in the Catwalk by Tigi range, and is called Session Series Finishing Hairspray. :T And MrD agrees it smells nice! (Although he claimed he couldn't smell the Elnette the day after I last used it so what does he know :rotfl:).

smithkinson

mmm I love the smell of tigi products.

I'll send you a pic of it. can you PM photos??

MrsDrink

Nope - you can send links or embed photos that are already on the internet. I can PM you my email address though and you can send me a piccie that way if you like?
