To Do List

ASAP

• Make all invitations (have folded the wallets, just need to stick ribbons & print inserts)
  
• Order reception venue decorations (mostly done, just need a few extra vases, some ivy garlands & some tissue paper)
  
• Decide on ceremony music/readings
• Send out invitations (BEFORE 15th JUNE!)
  

June

• Pick dress up (2nd June)
• Seamstress Appointment (2nd June)
• Purchase bridal jewellery, make up & hair accessories
• Book honeymoon ([STRIKE]flights[/STRIKE], hotel, trips)
• Pick up certificate from local registry office
• Arrange to meet with ceremony registry office

You'll notice that some of these June items previously appeared on my May list :rotfl::rotfl: Hoping to crack on with invitations over the long weekend, and probably get some other bits done too. My spare rooms are being invaded by wedding stuff now - hope nobody wants to stay with us between now & September!!! :rotfl:

White_Sapphire

Oooh, we all seem to be getting on well with things!

LOL Roz - Not finished May's list?? I've only just crossed off the last April item, and loads of those were 'put back'...... :whistle:

Sorry for the dearth of photos, it got a bit crazy with the invites, and Photobucket was playing up!

Invites are done, with just a few more addresses to get, but most are being posted today! :j
Piccies here:







Also finalised the date for my hen: 21st July Everyone who I want to invite can make it, apart from one person who is not sure if she can get time off as she's starting a new job - I was worried at one point that there would not be any dates that suited enough people, so am very happy!

Also bought my shoes! http://enimie.tumblr.com/post/16993916011/poetic-licence-dorothys-dream-want. I thought I wanted purple, with a flared heel, but saw these and nabbed 'em sharpish!! Less than 1/2 price too, can't be bad... :money:

H2B and I will be working on vows and ceremony music & readings this weekend, so looking forward to that.

Have a lovely weekend all!

xx

Yey for the hen weekend :j:j The invitations are lovely - I love the wax seal, and the shoes are FAB! Look really comfy too And your dress is almost there now? It looks great

3 Months for you now :eek::eek:

The vellum glue that I bought for the organza ribbon on the invitations is pants, so I'm going to have to get something with a bit more "stick". I might just get some mini glue dots - it's only for the back of the wallets anyhow... Trip to Hobbycraft over the weekend I reckon. Really want to get them done over the long weekend.

I pick my dress up tomorrow and take it straight to the seamstress for alterations. Then in the afternoon I'm going shopping with mum to get my jewellery, hair accessories and possibly try on some make up too

Fiona your invitations look great! We have just spent 7 hours today doing ours, and not finished! Hope to get them all finished tomorrow and will post them this weekend. Catherine has taken pics so I will get her to upload them. Bit worried they are too thick for the Royal Mail rules, so will take them down to the post office and try them in their little slot thing to make sure they don't need a higher postage

Roz_V

Aww Catherine they look fab :-)

Glad you sorted the wording Scotsbride

Gemma, I know, it's flying by!!!


Had to post my MSE bargain of the day - a vintage suitcase from eb*y for £5!!! I LOVE it and it will be perfect for holding our cards. Needs a bit of fixing but nothing a bit of superglue can't handle! I was looking through the auctions and they were all £25+postage minimum, then I stumbled across this one that was cheap but local pickup only... I double checked and the seller only lived 5mins from us so I paid BIN & collected it this afternoon :money:
