    Right I'm going to bump this up as I'm spending all my time chatting to the (very lovely) April girlies but there must be some March people somewhere!

    I'm having a bit of a stress as it's only 10 weeks away and I still have sooo much to do. RSVPs are coming in nicely though which is good and I think I at least know most of what needs doing, even if I haven't done it yet!!

  • Ok, well my update:
    Almost everything I need to buy is done or paid for and on order. Did my last few bits today buying underwear and jewellery.

    I have my dress fitting on the 31st.
    Just need to pay disco, photographer, flowers, suit hire and church and final balance to wedding venue - oh and buy his wedding ring! Mine is bought.

    So all the fun buying is done, just painful balances to pay now LOL!
    On the subject of the church, I am a little miffed. I had written down Appox £450 on my budget after meeting the vicar last year. I emailed him about some other stuff and asked for an exact figure and it is now £579!!!!!! I was not happy to receive that news! That is a big increase. Oh well. Can't exactly do without the church.

    20 days to go and I am still awake at 5am doing wedding things! Favours are 90% complete, just need name tags writing. Me and OH finished off the Table Plan today, that just needs names printing off and sticking on. We are currently sorting out the Order of Service but really don't know where to start, so Pinterest and Google Images it is for ideas :)

    Had my final dress fitting and it's perfect :D:D All bridesmaid dresses are in hand being altered, ready for a final fitting when I can get them all together in one place prior to the big day.

    Hope everyone is having fun organising and not as stressed as I am lol

    20 days to go for me as well :j, Its gone so so quickly.
    Spent the afternoon making favours, 10 mini eggs in a bag, tied with gingham ribbon and a name tag that matches our stationary. I have to admit that a few mini eggs may have gone missing:D.

    Picking my dress up tomorrow from the final alterations.
    Bridesmaid dress drama ongoing but have a back up from BHS if needed.
    Still need to get the rest of the grooms suit but waiting on an M&S voucher from sky.
    Starting the cake next weekend so hopefully that wont be too stressful. Cant be any worse than making the 9 tarts, 9 terrines and 9 giant brownies was.

    Hope everyones planning is coming along nicely.

    Only 13 days for me now! Nice to see some activity back on here.

    I think to be honest I'm all done - just need to write out the place cards and finish orders of service, plus a couple of bills to pay, but other than that we're ready and raring to go :)
