2 months to go, and I don't know what I'm meant to be doing!!

I'd definitely chase up people who haven't replied to your invitations. Did you give them a RSVP date, is that nearing soon? As soon as you have all your RSVPS in then you can get the table plan done

I'd also look at hiring the bouncy castle soon and booking hotels for honeymoon

Other than that, are you prepared for your honeymoon, ie new clothes, vaccinations if needed?

Nearing…. Past! It was April 26th!!!! Hence the strop over making place cards for only the people that have bothered to reply!

I'm not too worried about the bouncy castle, as we get married on a Wednesday, and that's not exactly a peak hire day!

Honeymoon is pretty sorted, have clothes, will travel. I think we are basically vaccinated against everything possible, and we're not going off the beaten path for the first time ever, so we don't actually need to worry! Hotels: I think the biggest issue is that we don't really have a plan about where exactly we are staying and for how long, so once we sort that, we will be fine. If not, we will do as we normally do, and just find somewhere on arrival! (organised!)

Sounds like you're pretty much sorted! glad you posted a list so I could check mine against it haha

Have you sorted your cake?

xx

Yes!! I totally forgot about writing it down, but we do have a cake sorted! (It was basically the first thing arranged, because I love cake!)

Honestly, I don't get why people don't reply properly and on time to wedding invitations!

Ooh wednesday wedding, not heard anyone get married on that day before, how come you chose the day? I know its cheaper not to have it on friday or saturdays

Where are you going on your honeymoon?

Sort of by accident! We were looking for a Thurs, as our venue is more expensive on a Fri and Sat. It had to be in the summer holidays as I teach, and I wanted it near the beginning of August so I had a week or two to get my classroom ready and be prepared, and have enough time for honeymoon after. Which basically put our date as the 7th August. But for some reason, that date just didn't sound like our wedding date to me!!

H2B jokingly said that we could always get married on Weds 6th, and it just stuck! It works out one year and one day from the day we got engaged, and thats it really.

The 6th sounded like it should be our wedding anniversary, regardless of the day, so that is our date!!

Honeymoon, we are off to Iceland and Canada, so no need to worry about my beach bod!! More likely to need waterproof trousers and hiking boots!

How are all your plans going?

My plans are going well so far- got most RSVPS back, in the last week we have sent out some more invitations in place of people that have said no, we are looking at 50 people during the day, and around 30 more in the evening. I had my first dress fitting in April, and BM dress fittings are at the end of June. Hair and make up trials are booked, florist, photographer booked. My sister who is my MOH is making my cake, and we have all our decorations sorted, we are having tealights in birdcages and lanterns for the centrepieces. Colour theme is cadbury's purple

Thank you presents for bridal party? Bridesmaid accessories? Favours? I get married 6 days before you and feel massively behind schedule too but our lists look similar....except I still havent sorted chairs yet. We have finally decided on our reading and music but still finalising vows.

Suzie88 I'm in the same situation as you! Renovating a house, living with my mum and 7 weeks too go until the big day!

I'm also struggling with choosing Hymns and readings, my Priest has been trying too help me, but there is so much too choose from. I'm slowly getting there my RSVP's aren't due back till 28th June, seen as I have only just sent them due too some problems.

I think everything will come together in the end, just keep writing down ideas and things that come to you so you don't forget them. Not long now!! Xx

Nothing to add but thought as I read the list that if you are getting married at the venue your registrar will need details of the readings and music. Ours have sent us a long form to fill in which has to be sent back at least 8 weeks before the day. If you are getting married in a church I guess there is more flexibility around it.

This is part of the meeting in a couple of weeks, they have said we can check it through then thankfully! If we had to send it off at 8 weeks, we would be in trouble as we have made no decisions on any of that!!
