July 2014 Brides and Grooms

Justengaged

Less than 10 weeks left for me - how the hell did that happen!?!?!?!

MissTeach

Scary isn't it!

I've just had my dates that my Banns are being read! All becoming real.

Invitations have gone out and have had a few RSVPs back so far. Seeing the tiny envelope sitting on the mat is a very exciting sight!

I've opted for the evening guests to reply via one of those wedding websites, it's just the wedding guests (and there aren't many) that I've sent out R.S.V.P cards too, so not expecting many of those.


I'm abit late and about to post ours out tomorrow, so will no doubt be a stalker looking at the website every day from now on

Less than 12 weeks to go :eek:

When are your Banns being read? They were read in our local church for the first time yesterday and read in the church we marry in from this Sunday.

OH now has his suit and we've booked flights to Singapore and planning to then go to bali and other neighbouring islands.

So glad this is a short half term x

MissTeach

Eek!

Our banns were also read in our local church for the first time last Sunday and are being read where we get married next Sunday! Seems we have the same Banns dates too!

Honeymoon has been paid in full over the weekend! Mauritius awaits, cannot wait!

Personalised cake topper has arrived. Love it! Had about 40% of our RSVPs back now.

Dress has been altered and is awaiting a fitting but not sure when I can make it in to try it on! So busy with work at the moment! Also thankful this half term is short!

What a coincidence!

Mauritius - lovely

So how is everyone getting on? Only 6 weeks to go for me, less for others!

I've done almost everything, or have a plan for things i've not yet done.

-invites all sent, some RSVPs have come back already
-photographer is booked
-celebrant is booked
-booked all the decorations for the venue
-wine has been bought and is sitting in my living room
-bought vases for flowers, jars for sweet favours and candles and holders
-sweet favours are ordered and due for delivery next week
-started editing the entrance and exit music for the ceremony
-booked a meeting with the band and DJ to discuss music for the day
-hotel is booked
-transport is booked
-customised festival style wristbands are ordered

Still to do:
-Buy the grooms outfit (I just don't know what to wear, but at least i have my shoes!)
-order a custom-printed flag with our names on it
-make the table-number signs
-make the name cards for the tables
-make and print a poster with the seating plan on it
-book a van to take things to and from the venue
-make final payments to venue, photographer and celebrant
-buy flowers
-buy the last few decorative candles
-find a hairdresser for the bride (she's useless at organising things!)

I think that's about it... probably a few things i've missed off though!

8 weeks today for me!

Bought OH's ring today
Booked his and pageboys final suit fitting
Given final numbers and food choices to venue today.
Went to ikea the other day and bought candles and picture frames for table names and large frame for the big table plan. Also got a few artificial flowers for pew ends in the church.
Bought some hair accessories for BMs in claire's accessories on 3 for 2!

Going shopping with future MIL and niece who is out flower girl tomorrow. Need to find a dress for her and the one I wanted from BHS is no longer available. Grr!

Still need to order favours
Make table plan and table name pictures
Book hairdresser appointment to have hair coloured in week before wedding
Book a manicure - I have bitten my nails my whole life and they have got really long now! Been growing them for the wedding but they are getting on my nerves! Just hoping I don't break them before the day.
Need to buy a guestbook.
Print out the order of service booklets and buy twine to tie them together.

I'm worried I'm missing something!
