    Katie that's a lovely song :) we scoured our music collection too - but ours is so big it has its own server :eek: (I have no idea what that means, but OH says it to his techy mates and they look impressed :rotfl:) We eventually settled on Sarah McLachlan - Push. Glad your lady came back to you about the place/table names :D

    White Sapphire - good luck with the move. This year has been pants for sweet peas, though mine have thrived in the last three weeks or so. But nowhere near as many flowers as last year :( Glad you found another source though.

    Scotsbride, I can't wait to try my dress on again - glad you still love yours. I was the same as Bubbles - I found it easier to work backwards to sort out the timings.

    Bubbles - your bouquet is lovely, great job! :beer: And the stationery is lovely too, love the rose print. Are the stickers Vistaprint too? I may get some to stick on the bath bomb favours rather than putting them in bags.

    Nene, what he doesn't know won't hurt him ;)

    Catherine - I LOVE your stationery, it's gorgeous

    I'll join the drunk-vow-writing club too :D I did mine after 2/3 bottle of red wine :D

    I've been a bit crafty this evening, well more putting-togethery really! As we're now having allocated tables, I suddenly realised I'd need an extra centrepiece :eek: So I popped into a new shop that's opened nearby and stumbled upon a birdcage for £7.99. Added in a church candle that I've had lying around, and a mirror that was £2, and then dismantled my foam bouquet that I'm not using anymore, and bent the stems into a garland. So the top table will have a different centrepiece to all the others but I don't really mind... I also picked up some wicker hearts to hang from the top & bottom of the bannister rails, and a double one for the front door of the barn. This is the centrepiece, it will be on a white tablecloth with a dusky pink table runner

    I've also put together the kids activity basket - all Ebay apart from the basket which I already had... Colouring/Sticker/Activity books (various themes to suit boys/girls), Pencils & loads of Foam masks (butterflies, ladybirds, bumble bees, pirates and monsters!)

    Sorry for the MASSIVE post :o

    did you gave those favour cards cut out out already out did you do them yourself? Theyr great!

    Did them myself in Microsoft Publisher!

    Unfolded, they're the length of a piece of A4, and I made them so that 5 fit on one sheet. Printed them out double-sided, then folded and cut them with a Stanley knife, and used my corner-rounder to finish off the edges! (also conveniently cut off all my pencil marks for where to cut!)

    I made 80 of them, but have only stuck hearts on 20 so far. Have now delegated the job to mum!


    I like your vistaprint cards and seals too - much much less effort than mine, but very lovely!
    Life on a shoestring!

    Well that's my makeup trial done and also the sexy photoshoot for OH for the wedding day :D I just hope the photo's turn out ok. The makeup looked really good so I'm pleased with that. I'm now booked in for eyebrow waxing :eek: and a manicure before the wedding. Also booked my hair to be dyed and also the hair trial for the same day a week before the wedding :)

    Everyone looks nicely organised :) Very nearly September so I hope everyone hasn't got much left to do.
    What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine..

    Eek 1 week till rehearsal!!
    Best man finally surfaced and i wish he hadn't bothered!! He's not picked his suit up, has no idea what size shirt I need to get him nor what size waistcoat dispite being asked 3 months ago so I've just bought 2 hoping atleast 1 fits!
    Also he's pap at geography as he told us he was based in York but nope he's in catterick another 40 miles further on. So he's now got no suit, no shirt and now nowhere to stay for the wedding!!! Greer


    Sorry for the rant... On a lighter note I've tied little ribbons to all my bubble wands, we can't have confetti and these are a great alternative.
    The bottom tier of the cake is now in the freezer weighing 6kg lol just the middle tier to go :)

    Hope you are all getting on ok?? Some great photos
    My big fat eBay wedding £1200 budget! 1st September 2012!!
    Mummy to two little soldiers and still mothering my solider htb! X
