Hello there, I am new and have through most of the threads, they are so helpfull, im getting married next may, still have to make firm decisions about caters, venues, photography etc etc.... Just to help you out, how about a photo session with the people coming to the ceremony...not sure on your numbers or location but may be you could go to an open park where there's lots of greenery, flowers, ponds, even ducks!!! wheather permitting....

hope this helps, will post some more ideas if I have them..good luck:j

Im hoping to have reception at inlaws, in their garden. But i did want xmas wedding but would be too cold outside Mmmmm Lots of useful £ saving tips in Wedding Ideas magazines.

Bought my dress in a charity shop, cost £300 but tag on it still for £1800 :):)

Hiya Loulou, A garden reception sounds fab! You could buy really cheap fairy lights (Woolworths Worth it range dead cheap - I work there hehe!) and other garden bits and bobs, it will look stunning. I would love to get married around Christmas too cause we got together on Christmas Eve but didnt want to be cold!!!

Also everyone who is getting married should join wedding mapper, its really good, going to include my personal webpage in my invites so the guests can RSVP, etc

me again(sorry!)
Just a question, would love to send a save the date invite out but was worried about the cost of posting them, anyone got any ideas for cheap postage?

Check out eBay, there seems to be a lot of people flogging sheets of stamps cheaply on there... Or find someone who works in an office and get them to take them into work a couple at a time

How about sending e-cards for your save the date cards? No postage and no card to pay for - completely free! That's what I'm planning on doing - probably won't be able to send them to some of the older family members though!!

I've seen them at:

http://www.evite.com/app/ecards/gallery/cards.do?cardThemeName=save_the_date

and if you search online you'll probably find loads more.

Ooh just realised the last link isn't free... but the other two should be...

steal the stamps from work :rotfl: :rotfl:
just kidding of course.
we only sent them out to our ceremony guests so only needed 20 (instead of 90:eek: ), make sure they still fit in the 'small' size and send 2nd class, thats all i can think of
