Oooh you guys are totally organised!

I was gonna leave booking things a bit longer, but we counted last week, and we only have 3 visits home between now and the wedding to fit in any supplier meetings, other than that we will need to ask my mum to do it, so I think now all we really need to get are kilts, some last bits of stationary, favours, gifts & decide if we are getting somebody to do our make up or doing it ourselves

Hullo I am the 5th so gonna join in!

I think we have done more or less everything you possibly can do until nearer the time! Giving notice is the next thing, then prob in the Autumn make bloke look at suit ideas. Then nearer to Xmas pay some more money to venue. Then I think it will be getting the wording to the stationers and those are the only things I can think of atm. Oh and I am currently investigating hair accessories but that's it!

I feel so disorganised now I'm the 17th but I haven't done anything yet. Haven't even registered us to marry! Have a busy week of dress appointments though so might be crossing that one off the list soon and I know my venue, just haven't booked.

Wahoo - a thread just for our date!

I've got the following:

Church - booked and signed notice (in Oz)

Venue - booked and deposit paid

Boat trip from church to reception - booked and deposit paid

Choir for ceremony - booked

Hair & makeup - booked and deposit paid

Flights to Oz and honeymoon - booked and deposit paid

Dress - bought and hanging at my parents'!

Jewellery - ordered via Lynsey's Designs

Cake - part of wedding package

DJ - part of wedding package

Photographer - booked and deposit paid

BM dresses - chosen, but waiting for one BM to come back from her honeymoon so we can try/order

Flowers - silk flowers being done by SIL2B who is a professional florist

Stationery - also being done by SIL2B who runs a stationery business in her spare time. STDs sent out last year. Invitations going out this October.

Rings is next on the list, and probably nothing else until mens attire probably in the New Year. Want to get a start on favours etc, but can't really until we know how many are coming.

Well done on the planning ladies.. we all seem to be v organised
