Ah fair enough! Perhaps wait until eBay has a free listing weekend and try there. I think there is a shop in London ( Wembley area I think) that will buy second hand dresses?

Couldn't find the details on the London shop but had a nosy on Ebay and got it listed for free there so fingers crossed

Yeah hopefully they will be, just don't want them to look to daft as I'm decorating my reception venue the same but it will be early November by then.

Hi Danni welcome aboard !

Right ive finally got things moving, cake is booked found a really nice girl through facebook, sent her picture of 4 cakes i really liked and shes taking all the bits that i like and making mine from them so im getting exactly what i want ! appointment booked for 10th oct to go look at dresses with my mum and sister, so god help me ! , honeymoon to cape verdi getting booked on friday.
I have one thing i hope you can all give me your thoughts on ,for my evening reception ive decided not to invite all my cousins kids , only because evening invites are usually for couples and friends only , ive personally never been invited to an evening reception with my kids, kids are usually only there at night if they were invited to the whole wedding day, plus at a tenner a head thats an extra £200 that i could use elsewhere. Opinions please !

I think that is fine Lorna. If I had kids I am sure I would want a night away from them sometimes! I would say just expect people to leave earlier than usual, and give them plenty of time to find a babysitter. Also expect some people to turn it down. Saying all that tho, people would still leave early if kids were invited, as so and so is tired! But I would agree with you, the extra £200 coul be spent on something better!

What kind if cake are you going for Lorna? I am thinking of doing my own fruit cake... I want something like this:

Ok, apparently I can't upload from iPhone, will try when I get home unless anyone can help with snapbucket?

My SiL2B really wants to make all the little people, and she is really good at it, but I don't like the idea of relying on her to do it. OH has assured me she will tho... Might get him to make a contract! Lol! I jut have the feeling it will be started with good intentions and then not done. Think we will just have to have it done a few months before, then can hopefully still order one (from somewhere) if she doesn't pull through.

I think the cake decorating bit looks easy enough, just a few bottle candles, a mini cake etc. What do u guys think?

im having 3 tier:js of sponge,one vanilla, one strawberry and one orange with buttercream filling yum ! i dont like fruitcake. i booked my honeymoon yesterday and my minister confirmed she could do ceremony for me, she wants a donation to the church for doing it but i havent a clue how much to donate ?:j
