Can I join in too. I don't have a date yet, but likely to be early August. We're not really organised at all, but have a price from the place we'd like to have a our reception.

We're really broke so are going to have to get close family and friends heavily involved.

My dad has said he'd pay for a sit-down meal for the guests that will be at the ceremony (this number will be around 50). The evening do, which will have a lot more people at, we're thinking of doing only a few nibbles / finger food bits and telling people on the invite that it's a pot-luck buffet (ie, we'd welcome contributions)!

There are a few of us that can bake, so we'll do the cake I think, but have a friend who is great at decorating so will get her to do that.

Our main problem is where to have the ceremony - there are various possibilities but none seem quite right so far. Grrrr.

as soon as you see the right venue you will know

i've pretty much got the whole thing planned in my head
i just have to write it all down & make sure it's within budget!

the wedding ceremony, reception & disco are booked as is the photographer.
i have bought some fishbowls to make my own centerpieces (closer to the time obviously)
we're having a ivory & gold theme
the guest lists are pretty much decided.

i'm just struggling with cheap wedding favours atm.

:j i am pretty much the most organised woman on the planet (i've only been engaged a week and my ring hasnt even arrived yet:rotfl:)

we to are having ivory and gold im having love heart favors,u know the small packets in some little gold/ivory puches.i will get the sweets from the whole salers which i have access to

Wow, you sound really organised!

I'm not having a car I'm afraid, so can't help you about the quote- hopefully someone who knows a bit more about it will be along shortly
Dress shopping is ever so exciting :j Have you got a particular style/ designer in mind?

I've not heard of making a wishing well- how does that work?

The wishing well's can be boxes which u can buy on ebay or you can buy the wooden ones,we will just get the box from ebay and decorate it ourselves so not making it from scratch but will add my own touches,thats way if people wish to give us money which we will be asking for by using a wishing well poem they can post it into the box along with cards.

ive had a look at dresses online but TBH its not the same.i know i want strapless so just need to go and have a look around but im on a budget so just hope i can get my dream dress for the price i want to pay.

O yes im OCD when it comes to organised,people keep asking what im going to do once its all done,there is always something to do :rotfl: espeiclaly with just over 12 months in which to do it
