I gained the last two weeks- so not so good going! you flying on the Sunday? Cos I think we leave from Gatwick on the Sunday (when it is booked!) Just got one month to wait for the leave to be approved I think! :j

We're flying on the Monday (the 8th), we thought we would have the Sunday to relax and finish up packing.

DM, my hair's naturally black so the only colours that did take without lightening were plum, dark brown and really bright red. I used to have it red for a few years, but it took months of dying to get it bright. Would have been nice to get it a natural red though.

I tried to dye my hair temporarily red when I was about 15- it went Orange! :eek: haven't tried dyeing it since! (I am blonde). I do use John Frieda go blonder heat spray though, it makes blonde hair lighter- really works so I don't need to use a lot unless I want to go bleached!

Silly question, but our invites are worded traditionally with the brides parents inviting guests. I asked my mum if we should send those invites to my OH's parents (that was silly question no. 1), and she came back saying that we should also send one to her and my dad as a keep sake. Has anyone else done this? I'm not sure whther to print something like

Stir and Mr Stir invite
Stir's dad and mum
to their wedding on
date, time, venue.

Would that be ok?

We sent them the same as everyone else. Our wording was :

Together with their parents
Jo & Mr Jo
Request the pleasure ....

They got that even though it was kind of from them!! It was more of a keepsake rather than anything else, so we didn't worry about it too much.

Ah, thanks, I wasn't sure if it would be a bit silly with them inviting themselves!
