    8 weeks for me, got most things done, just need to print off rest of oos's and put them together, sort out dress fittings and pay final deposits, and make table plan. Evening invites are slowly going out at the moment, all the day rsvps have been returned.

    I'm getting excited again now after a couple of months of feeling fed up, maybe it's because the end is in sight and its not going to be long until my hols.

    10 weeks and 4 days to go for me. Had hen do a couple of weeks ago but having a local one end july.

    Need to do dress/bm dress alterations, finalise table plan (chasing rsvps!), buy a few more prezzies.

    I have a slight problem- got to go away on 7th july mon-fri for 5 week training course which will leave me with a fortnight before wedding at home! Still, it will make time go quicker! Just hope there's a gym at hotel or else I'm gonna rip out my dress!

    8 weeks and 2 days!

    A fair bit to do, but I no longer care about any of it. Its finally hit me that I will be marrying Mr Pants and no amount of fussing over DJ playlists will take away from that.

    Fluff, moi?

    August 2nd here. 7 weeks and 4 days to go. ?

    I feel like I have loads of things left to do, although I'm probably worrying over nothing. My sister and niece are having their first bridesmaid dress fittings on June 21st. On July 5th they'll be having their second fittings whilst my cousin has her first one. Also on July 5th I have my second dress fitting when I'll be picking up my veil, and my hair trial and make-up trial. On July 6th we're meeting the photographer to go over what we did and didn't like from the pre-wedding shoot. Then on July 19th we have the final meeting with the venue and on July 26th I have my final dress fitting.

    Haven't got the table plan or anything like that sorted yet as our RSVP date isn't until June 28th, so we don't have final numbers. Hoping I won't have to do too much chasing. The venue want definite numbers at our final meeting on July 19th. Still need to e-mail the DJ about our music requests. Also need to get in touch with the cake maker as, following the florist meeting week before last, we've changed our flowers from calla lilies to roses (callas just too expensive out of season) so need her to put sugar roses on top of the cake instead of sugar callas! Does mean though that I can get her to do a couple of pale blue roses in with the ivory so that it matches the colour scheme.

    Hen do is 11th-13th July. My sister is telling me very little about it. I know we're going to a comedy club on the Friday night and then to Brighton, as that's what I requested, but she's organising pretty much everything else. I did say I wanted to go to Harry Ramsdens on the seafront on the Saturday, but have just had an e-mail from sis saying she hasn't booked that as only one person has come back to her saying they want fish and chips. Whose hen do is this again? I am secretly quite pleased to have found out last week that Brighton clubs won't let you in wearing cheesy veils and L plates or matching 'hen do' t-shirts, so she won't be able to embarrass me too much!

    64 days to go. I have not had time to think about it really as only booked ours and decided to get married 2 and half weeks ago( engaged christmas day 2007 ) !!!!!!!!!!!. Its mad but i much prefer it this way cos its all go. I have got shingles though which the doctor says is down to stress, but i acutally feel ok in myself and i have calmed down a lot over the last week or so.

    We have everything in place now, got venue sorted, registrar ( last one on the day ) its just all fallen into place, my dress was the first one i tried on and just needs taking up a bit as i am only 5ft. Bridesmaid dresses are being made by a local lady and just sorted all my tables deco out. DJ comes with the venue ( they are all cheesy aren't they ) but apparently he gets rave reviews!

    Invites going out this week, most people have been told by word of mouth now anyway so i know if anyone can't make it. My hen do is on the 25th July, going to a hotel over night for a "girls night in", champayne, spa, girly DVDs, popcorn, nibbles and my favorite girls what more could i ask for.

    My H2B is taking it all in his stride, anything i ask him to sort out he does no questions asked, going to see him in his suit this weekend and i can't wait.

    After 10 years together i can't honestly say i cannot wait for our day to come, i just hope the sun shines for all of us on our special days and everything goes like clockwork, but remember most of all ENJOY! ?

    That's just fancy dress though, not matching hen night t-shirts.
