Gorgeous pics Jenna! And thanks so much for the tips. Do you mind me asking, what did you put in the kids' gift packs? I'm doing these as well and am starting to worry I don't have enough in them!

I just got a pack of 3 books from £land... theres a colouring book, a dot to dot and a colour by numbers in it, and a pack of pencils i think. Thought that should be enough

We bought a big book of colouring, puzzles and a book of masks (some great pics from them). We then grouped them in ages and added other bits in. We went to Wetherspoons and took the pencils from there :eek:

Okay apart from the babies they all had - 2 colouring pages, a dot to dot, a maze and a mask, a spin top, a spring, a bat and ball (those ones attached with string), a chocolate egg (easter wedding)

Babies - a teddy
Girls 2 - 6 - a bracelet and a necklace to these.
Girls 6 - 10 -a bracelet and necklace, a small fairy jigsaw and for the older ones (10) they both got a mobile phone charm
Boys 2 - 6 - a pirate kit, and dinosaur
Boys 6 - 10 - flying plane (those cheap 20p ones that used to be popular), a small army jigsaw.

In total it came to around £20 for 13 packs. I bought everything (apart from teddys) from dainty toys from the party gift bags section. We definitely went overboard but it kept them all amused The plane was one of the best bargains we bought - amused for hours!

Might help if i break this down slightly (guessing at cost for some of these):
colouring, puzzles and a book of masks = £3
a spin top, - 6 for £1
a spring, - 6 for £1
a bat and ball - 6 for £1
a chocolate egg (easter wedding) - 6 for £1
bracelet and a necklace - 40p
a small fairy jigsaw - 20p
mobile phone charm - 30p
a pirate kit - £1
dinosaur - 15p
flying plane - 25p
a small army jigsaw - 20p

What lovely pics.

Am a bit concerned I have no bra now! EEk. Seamstress is convinced it will be fine though :S

Becca i thought i'd be fine as mine had loads of bones in. All the bras that fit me made the dress out of shape. It lasted till about 9pm and then my boobies had a shelf... Pop a bag of spares tot he venue and have a bra in it just incase

Lovely phoyos :T

And thanks so much for the notes... really helpful, especially the one about the bra.

Love the pic of you coming in the door!

Great tips as well, thanks.

My dress shop lady doesn't recommend going braless for the - ahem - more endowed girls among us. I'm only between a B and a C so I'm fine.

Congratulations! :j

The photos are beautiful and I completely agree with your points about family and friends letting you down.
