LilDevil's Wedding Diary

Lovely dresses! Good choice on the little bridesmaids, I would of had those if they were available when I bought my dresses... Butterflies are our theme!

I'm going for cats, but can't get any cheap cat name place holders, so have little bells instead - all the invites are having cats on them (the first pic!):

My colleague at work is designing them, so I'm hoping the eyes will be greener and the hearts will be red instead of pink!

Could you get plain blocks as place card holders and cut out the cats and attach them?

Never thought of that! Already have the bells though!!

Or what about just getting the place cards and a cat shaped die cut, cut the cat shapes out of coloured card and attach then to the side of the place cards with double sided sticky foam...

Ah! You must be able to get cats onto them somehow though.

Like crystal says on the cards or can you attach them onto the bells?

LilDevil

Might do cat shaped name cards - use the same pic but put the individuals name in the heart/tail bit!

Wooohhhooo, just got a bubble machine from Early Learning Centre for £8 (reduced from £10) - I did consider waiting and buying online via quidco, but glad I didn't as it worked out at about £11 (postage bumped the cost up!)

Oh shine a flipping light!!! Got my organza bags (100 off Ebay) - and they're tiny (about 2" by 2.5-3") - I was expecting them to be bigger - even though I noticed the size on the listing, I didn't really equate it to being that small!!!

Oh well, was thinking I might use them for the evening guests instead.

Another thing I've noticed is that the 'wedding package' at my venue says it's a minimum of 50 people - we were hoping to have only 28 at the ceremony/breakfast - so I now have to double check with the venue to see if they can accept the smaller number and for us to still have the 'package' - after all, we'll be having about 100 at the evening do.
