I think I'll have to delegate the hen do planning to my BM, I was going to organise it myself, but my head is buzzing with all the wedding planning.

My CBM is doing mine. The control freak in me wants to organise it though! I just chase up anyone who hasn't paid/ replied etc. it's easier to collect money when it's not going to you!

Argh, I havent even ordered my invites! I've given myself until the end of May to order them then got June to make them up and get them in their envelopes then sent out first week in July. Except for dad's family, they'll be sent out 2 weeks erlier with a shorter RSVP date because if they dont come then I'll be under numbers.

OMG !! I am getting married 13th Oct and I wasn't going to send my invites out till July/ Aug time ! do you think I should be sending them out sooner? If so I need to get my finger out and get them finished. I haven't even sorted out how to word the insides yet. Think I need a kick up the bum.

Hi,

I think it depends if people need to book travel/ hotels etc. we are planning on sendin ours out in June/July. An people have been asking when they are coming out!

Ok, got them ordered! Phew. I'll be sending some out late June to my dad's family, they're pretty scattered around the country and there are a lot of them so if they dont come we'll be very under numbered (trying to keep to my miminum numbers for the hotel). Then sending the rest out at the end of July.

Also, has anyone else been feeling the stress? I've been so relaxed until the past couple of days when I've been freaking out about everything to do with the wedding.

I know we've spoken about this before, but does anybody know when I'll be able to collect acorns and conkers this year? I didnt get any last year because I thought i could get them from September but now I'm not so sure.

Conkers are late sept early October time. Not sure about acorns tbh.
