'09ers how you doing

I'm down to 255 days! (7th March 09)

I've hit a total planning lull as got lots of things booked straight away and now feel like I have nothing to do!

331 days to go for us. I feel in a bit of a lull. Have decided on the dress and have an appointment on the 5th july to order it (so excited).

Is it too early to start booking florist appointments?

i know what u mean...we've booked lots, but still got a few things to book and get such as deciding on mens suits and bridesmaids dresses and stuff...

I just cant wait now, but i suppose i've got lots to do, such as making all the invites etc, but OH doesnt really want to get doing those bits yet, which is sesible, but still i want to do them as it makes me feel all fluffy and warm inside!

D x

Im on 317 days to go (i think!)

I have done nothing so far except book ceremony and venue. I just spoke to the venue actually, and i will be recieving the contract tomorrow, but she said we dont get down to the nitty gritty of menus etc etc until 3 months before hand!!

I have no idea where to start or what i need to do now. I want to make my own invites, so i think that will be the first thing i sort out. Ive tried on dresses but havent chosen yet. I ve looked in to favours etc online, and am gathering ideas.

I am looking everywhere at the mo for a really good tick list of everything which needs to be sorted that gives you a timescale!

Hey,

I'm not until AUgust 09 but have found the dress, booked the caterer and the photographer, found the marquee, organised the bridesmaids dresses, found my shoes, just got all the other stuff to do!

Loving the planning though - so much fun, and we haven't had any problems with the planning so far which is great!

I'm not til July 18th so a bit longer than you ladies but have done quite a bit; venue, photographer, florist, dress, band, FG dresses (bargain but hoping they fit next year!) and hen do (although that is my BM being organised not me!)

I'm september 09 (451 days[:'(]!

I have-

Booked venue, booked photographer, sorted flowers, sorted Adult BMs dresses and most importantly - I have my dress!!

I also have bits and pieces that I'm collecting (and getting cheap!!) - favour boxes/decorations, easels for photo CDs on tables and mini photo frames for place cards.

Will be booking car next month!

I have 241 days left and have booked or planned most of the big things need to sort out flowers and a hairdresser. We haven't booked our honeymoon yet but H2B doesn't want to book it till we know how much spare money we have in december.

ooo well church, hotel, photographer, band, cars, bought all my materials for the stationary, got my favours.... now that the school holidays are 1 and half days away I can start looking for a dress - yipeeeeeeeee!

hi there

my count down is at 402 days till the big day (1st august 09), i have got alot done, next thing is to look for my dress and bridesmaids but cant do that yet, the waiting is awful.

have made my invites, booked photographer,booked hotel for ceremony,wedding breakfast and evening,booked the cake,got the favours and much much more.

zoe

hey

we have 240 days to go and so far booked/chosen is:

venue, band, Kids DJ, balloons, stationary, photographer, videographer (just), wedding dress, rings.

no cars, no cake, not hair, not tiara, not bridesmaids/grooms or ushers, not honeymoon (but we are waiting to see money situation too)

I am sure there is more ? just trying to keep the budget down?

OMG - need to get my backside in gear by the sound of things!!!

I've booked venue (29/08/09) but can't book wedding until 29 August this year as can't book more than 1 year in advance so a bit reluctant to do anything else until I know it's booked.

HTB friend is london DJ so he's already agreed to do that for us, hopefully a budding photographer in the family will be on board (not asked yet though), seen rings we like but not buying yet, have been browsing the web for dresses - seen a few I like but wasn't planning on going out trying them on until September as we're going away for 2wks in August and just wanted to get that out of the way first.

Now I'm starting to panic - great!!

I have got bookings already for 2009 and one date 4th July for some reason seems very popular, had to turn 2` brides away for that date as it is already booked and working with fresh flowers I can only do 1 wedding per day!

So no it is not to early to look for a florist and book the date with them, you don't have to decide exactly what you want but just get the date in their diary!

At 411 days Ive got the marquee booked (but no toilets yet!), church, caterers, photographers, colours are being considered but got a weeks hols in august to look at florists, linen hire, entertainment and of course my dress!!! I am seeing a cousin about stationary. After that the essentiels should be sorted!

Hiiiii!!!

Well it seems like I still have an eternity to wait- we're getting married sept 09 so it must be well over 450ish days? I have no idea... I'll start counting when it's a year away! So this is what I've done so far:

1. booked venue
2. Chosen colour scheme (pink, ivory and lilac)
3. made save the date cards/magnets in pink, ivory and lilac surprisingly!
4. booked photographer

Things I've organised but yet to officially book in next couple of days/weeks:

1. book harpist for wedding ceremony and drinks reception
2. book pianist for wedding breakfast
3. book children's entertainment for photographs
4. book contact magician for evening reception
5. book fireworks

Things to do in next 2 or 3 months:

1. book registrar!
2. book DJ
3. decide on real or silk flowers
4. start trying dresses on
5. post save the date cards

Ooops! sorry for long email!

xxxxxxxxxxx

i think im 331 days (valentines day). think im pretty well organised so far-

photographer, videographer, church, hotel, band, wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, harp for church, cars, honeymoon

Still to do- mens suits, flowergirl, rings, need to order invites & favours, pick cake!!!

I've done quite a lot (I think) but if anyone has a list of 'to do's' that would be helpful as I'm not sure what else I can do at the moment.

So far I've:

Booked venue, registrar, photographer, florist (even sorted my actual bouquet and bm bouquet out), booked car, finally found my evening entertainment which I'm so so excited about. My dress is in the shop and will stay there until the day before. I deisgned my veil and that should be with me any day now. Got jewellery but still need to design my tiara.

I know what I want for invitations, favours etc so any ideas if I'm missing anything I need to do right now?

Hello 09ers, I havent been on for ages! How have you all been? i have most things booked now so I am at that stage of paying things off : (

Hia I've not really posted on here for a while as plans kind of came to a stop. Got everything major sorted such as venue, church, photographer etc. Going to chose my bridesmaid dresses at the end of october, my dress will be in the shop in Jan and can't wait.

Should really make a start on my inivitations as got less than a year to make them. Other than that it's just the small things I need to sort out.
