Hi ladies! Hope everyone is well. I just wanted to say...

Ridiculous amounts still to do, but I have my hair and make up trial on Friday, so looking forward to that. Neither the dress nor the ceremony are finished yet though.... oops.....

I am pretty much organised considering we had to change the date. Another dilemma OH's father has taken an instant dislike to one of my best friends, they haven't met yet, because of a comment she made on my facebook profile which was a joke. So I am going to hve to keep them apart. I have got all my vintage accessories to go with my dress.

Hmm was going to go Costco for my sweeties and meat joints, but don't have membership and it'll cost us £30. Now got to weigh up the 'savings'
Does anybody know if you can browse without membership??

If you're after cheap sweets, check Amazon. I actually bought all my flying saucers from Sainsburys on a 3 for £1 and spent £5 to fill 8 table's jars

Cheers for the link Tilly, annoyingly I need 61, and the extra 11 that I'd need would be too expensive. Soooo annoying.

Buy them at £75 sell them on eBay for more lol x
I'm now making my own. I've tonnes of sheeting fabric and just bother 150 chair bows for £25 that can be used anywhere. Going to decorate the pews etc with them

I'd considered the3 for £1 deals and I've already bought the skittles when in offer at tesco and rosey apples that my asda where selling at 30p a bag.

booked the guests bus to the evening do and back(they will pay for it and am praying more than 10 people want it as ive paid a deposit! only had 9 rsvp cards yet though)
bought h2bs ring, £8 form argos! yep £8!! he cant wear one at work so chose a cheap one, this was £48 but because hed got gift cards to use he ended up buying more in b&ms the same day then his wedding ring cost!:money:and its gone up in price in the new catalogue
mine is currently at a specialist jewellers, hopefully they can make it small enough with putting the stone back in, i had to get that size as it was the last one available
unfortunatly the normal ring sizer wouldnt touch it as it has to go down 7 sizes so the stone will prob come out, fingers crossed he can fix it!
had hair and make up trials
got all jewellery/tiara/veil/shoes/underwear sorted
done first draft of table plans
only one day person has rsvp so far, they have till the 11th before i have the chore of chasing them up
im thinking they think i should just be able to read their minds!!!

I hate looking on eBay. I've just found THE dress but I just don't have the money to buy it and it'll be the third dress that I'll have bought. Ok the first got sold, but the second is hanging in my wardrobe at home and doesn't fit. Maybe it's just because it doesn't fit, that's why I like this new dress. Oh I don't know

arrg invite nightmare still no RSVPs, evening invites and mispelt the village name(which I can probably correct with biro if need be) but I need to get them out now!

neneromanova

Whups, I bought the other dress I liked...Hopefully it will look good on me. My boobs were the main problem with the other dress. They were hanging out over the top and it didn't look good. This new dress is a sweetheart dress so hopefully help my boobs a bit. lol. Just got to wait for it to be delivered now...OH is going to kill me. I haven't told him yet...

Sorry, I've been MIA for a while... Stupidly thought I was nearly sorted for the wedding and could take a bit of a break then on Saturday I suddenly sat up & shouted "S*** it's 6 weeks today" :rotfl: Not sure how that crept up so fast!!

Have chased the outstanding RSVPs this morning so fingers crossed should know final numbers shortly.

I need to buy the final bits for the venue - just a sign for outside and maybe a couple of bay or olive trees for by the front door. These will then double up as gifts for our mums. I'm hoping to get them from Homebase using our Nectar Card points Then all(!!!) I have to do this month is finish making the seed favours for the daytime guests, make the pompoms for the evening venue, and assemble the centrepieces. Oh, and pay out all of the balances Anyone else feel bad seeing their "wedding fund" account balance deplete as final balances are paid? I've known what the money is going to be used on for ages, but seeing that bank balance go down is depressing me! I liked feeling rich when I looked at my statements :rotfl:

:rotfl: Nene!! Also, you know the rules... pics?

Scotsbride, what did you decide to do with the invitations in the end?
