Oh that's a very reasonable price. I will have a peek on there!

I got our second usher a cigar cutter, which is also engraved. Will post a pic when it has arrived.

double_mummy

oo cigar cutter are the men having cigars?

i feel like i have forgotten something important, i cant shake it - i dont know whether its wedding or something everyday but i am really worried about when i find out lol

This usher is a little eccentric, and tends to smoke cigars at random parties etc. _party_

No-one else will have any I expect, but I imagine he will, and thought it would be a nice gift.

I brought him a hip flask a couple of years ago for his birthday, and the year after that a Zippo lighter! So was running out of ideas that I hadnt already got him! :eek:

hey all - well have finally completed assembling my invitations:



Actually wasn't as bad as I thought once I got into them

Went MOB outfit shopping at the weekend and got quite a few ideas of what will suit my mum - she didn't buy anything as she wants to lose a bit of weight first. johannalf - that outfit looks lovely and may send my mum in the direction of phase eight....

currently looking at crafty ideas for dressing my lanterns up, and scouring all the charity shops in the area for cheap glassware for my candy buffet.

Don't worry- I'm viewing from my iPhone, so looks totally fine!

The ushers gift arrived yesterday, but couldn't be bothered to do anything with it! So will take pics and wrap tonight. It's very nice tho, I'm very please with it!

Wow at your invites Nic Noc! Can't believe they are done already! I have figured out that we can print directly onto the envelopes, so that saves me writing them out! OH just needs to get addresses- all my family are printed! He also needs to find out his cousins surnames etc, as apparently some of them changed them, and the boyfriends names. So he is holdin us up! :rotfl:

We have printed our maps though, may take a few pics off them tonight...

Oh and forgot to say....

Part of my hen do is booked!!!! :T It is taking place at my parents house, and my sister (being brilliant CBM) has booked a hot tub! It's a proper one for the bank holiday weekend in August! Oh yeah!!!!

And I know have a real urge to slim down, as everyone there is a size 8 (ish). :rotfl:

I've booked my hen weekend now too - we're going glamping! So excited - can't wait!

johannalf88

We looked at glamping, but it was a little to expensive once we factored in activities. Parents live on south coast near new forest, so LOADS of activities we can do from there. Then.. When we r tired we come home for the hot tub!! (can u tell I'm excited by this.... :rotfl: )
