Best man - not bought - but know what we're getting him
Bridesmaids - Bought them their shoes for the wedding as a gift.
Snowflake girls - not bought - haven't a clue what to get them any ideas welcome (they're 8, 6 and nearly 2 years old)
Groomsmen - not bought - but know what we're getting them
Pageboy - not bought - haven't a clue what to get him either - any ideas welcome (he's 4, nearly 5)
My Gran - bought
My aunts who've help greatly with the wedding - not bought, but think i'll get them flowers or something!
My good friend who help with the invitations - going to get her flowers and a bottle of something!

We're not going on Honeymoon until the summer due to the inevitable strikes that always seem to happen around December time in the airports, and also the fact that we didn't think we would have been able to afford a proper honeymoon so close to Christmas. Going on a minimoon in January though!

So! Have i missed anything off my list? and also, if you would care to join me a good ol' bounce to celebrate 2 months to go!? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Wow sounds like you are pretty much sorted!

    I am nervous as my wedding is not long after yours and I still have a few things to sort out. The cake, for one. I asked a friend who is a qualified cake maker and decorator and she said she'd do it. I asked her twice now to provide me with a quote as I needed to keep a tight grip on the budget, but she has not got back to me. The first time she said it was too early and there was plenty of time (end of August) and the second time she didn't get back to me at all. A common friend suggested that maybe she's not getting back to me as she may want to do the cake for free as a present? Either way, I wish she'd get in touch. She used to work with me at the bank years ago until she retired in 2003. She doesn't have internet so can't mail her. I keep thinking to ring her then I am too embarrassed to. I hate phones. I am one of those people who'd rather email or text than ring you up. I am always scared of disturbing so i think a text or an email you can read when it's convenient.

    Sounds like you have it all sorted.

    One thing - wellies for outdoor pics in case it snows??

    Garter - Think my bridesmaids are sorting this

    Guest Book - We do have one of these,although i'm not sure if we're going to use it or not.

    Wellies - I have seen some that i like the look of, so might get them

    Went shopping today and i can now update my list to 100 out of 150 for evening favours. And we've bought Grooms Mums gifts, and one of my aunts gifts because they didn't have 2 of the think i was going to get for both aunts, although at least we know what we're going to get them! Smiley smile

    I can't believe that it's getting so close! I know my ticker says 1 month and 4 weeks, but the fact that the month now reads 1 is frightening...in a good way though. i'm looking forward to it all coming together....I'm also looking forward to not planning any more! It's been getting quite stressful the past couple of months with various things including my chief bridesmaid and i falling out, and she doesn't want to be a bridesmaid any more.....and there is the potential that she wouldn't fit in her dress anyway if she changed her mind!
