Loads!

Most of the big stuff is booked, just got to pay for it... Bought my dress this week (which is cutting it fine, some brides have them years in advance!) At least I know I'll be wearing something... OH hasn't sorted the suits out yet... But then the best man is being a bit flaky at the moment which is making it hard on him... Thought I had the bridesmaids flowers sorted bow my sisters made herself a bridesmaid so I'm one short... Haven't sorted a florist for the fresh flowers yet though... The list is endless really... We've got the venue booked but no idea how to decorate it... Got all the stuff for favours, invitations and table decorations but haven't started making them yet... I'm sure the next 6 months will fly by!

Sorry I've waffled a bit...

Got a good deal on invitations for DD wedding . Got packs of notecards and envelopes from the works on BOGOF so £1.99 for 24 invites. All she now needs to do is print off personalised inners and tie them in with ribbon.We reckon around £12 total for 60 invites!

maccaandclaire

does anyone know how many people you can invite to a registry office? Thought I only had 25 now the mother in law wants to invite extended family members!! :-o

I would think that they would all be different depending on their size but our one said 50 people max.

maccaandclaire

thanks for that littlel i rang my local up and they said max 50 so should be ok! if not the in laws can pay for a hotel wedding !!!

Barnardos sell NEW wedding outfits that have been donated to them by maufacturers and bridal boutiques. You can pick up a dress for half the RRP or less. See if you have one in your area.

Have a look at fairy cake stands for a cheap alternative - they look fantastic. www.childrens-partyhire.co.uk post throughout the UK and they're really reasonably priced & v. helpful.
