    We did
    Invitations - although did get the card prefolded and the inserts printed - so we really just assembled and added decoration
    Information Cards for Invitations - (We dodn't get these pre-printed!)
    Favours - tied tags to the gifts (Fragrance Samples)
    Wedding Cake
    And think thats it - our venue provided all the table decorations, place names, centre pieces etc - so it was all very easy

    Well, I'm not doing too badly:

    Stationery
    - Invites
    - Order of service
    - Place cards for table

    Jewellery
    - Headband/tiara for me - done
    - Headband for flower girl
    - Hair clips/combs for bridesmaids - no longer needed
    - Earrings for me and bridesmaids - done
    - Necklaces for bridesmaids - done
    - Bracelet for me

    Favours
    - Some sort of flavoured alcohol! Possibly raspberry vodka or similar - can't do until few months before wedding

    Shoes - one done! (it took HOURS and was really fiddly so I'm putting off the 2nd one!)

    Don't think I'll do too much more now before Christmas, going to spread the other tasks out a bit so I don' get too overwhelmed with it all! Lots of other wedding things to sort over the next month or so too (need to sort out photographer/cake/evening entertainment) so that should keep me busy enough.

    Really pleased with my first ever attempts at jewellery making, I just bought all the stuff from eBay then watched a lot of YouTube videos for tips! I've kept it all pretty simple but I think they look nice. Just got to make a bracelet for me and then some things for my flower girl. I'll have loads of beads left over too, so may make a few pairs of earrings for Christmas presents as they only take about half an hour a pair now I've got the hang of it.
