Congratulations and welcome to the thread - I have added you to the first page

Seems like a decent package if you have all that stuff covered under the one basis - definitely good for keeping things simple and stress free!

I took the advice of some people on the wedding forum who said to e-mail Vistaprint Customer Service Team asking if there was anything they could do. I e-mailed them saying I had designed some STD Magnets and was interested in using them for all my wedding stationary and asked if they would give me free STD magnets so I could see the quality. Had an e-mail back within an hour offering me 25 free magnets in my design. I took them up on their 25 and since then every e-mail I have from them has an offer for at least 25 free magnets so I have managed to get all my STD for free

Eleanora: as regards DJs, as long as you aren't wanting Hungarian folk music or Japanese pop you should be able to give a dj a list of music that you want them to play. They might not be able to get absolutely every one but it will give them an idea of your taste. For various parties I've organised I've also given them a list of songs I absolutely Don't want played!

In progress
My lady's dress (she's designing and making it)
Wedding rings

Handfasting ritual


Outstanding
Take notice to the Registry Office (different district)

We spoke to many of our friends to ensure they could make the date that we decided not to do Save The Dates, the jungle drums were quicker than we were

Just looking into organising our venue decoration and have had a few quotes. The best one we have had so far is for £410 (negotiated down from £490) and is for:

• 50 Polycotton Chair Covers with Sash
  
• Table Runners x 5
  
• Top Table Swag
  
• Table Crystals
  
• Tea Lights/Mirrored Plates and 5 Table Centre Pieces (Fishbowls)
  
• Top Table Arrangement to Match Wedding Flowers
  
• Light Curtain

Do people think this is a good quote?
