    Very impressive Smiley smile

    It's not Monotype Corsiva on the card cage is it? That's the font we used Smiley smile

    Hi AJ yes it is monotype corsiva, such a lovely font I have used it in all my paperwork for the wedding, invites, order of service etc.

    Wow it all look great. I don't generally like button bouquets but yours is lovely with the silk flowers and satin included.

    Reminds me I must get on with my OOSs.

    Hi Lofty86 the mini blackboards were from a shope called macro. They came in packs of 3 for around £10.

    I did exactly the same nicnol - i had to order more paper and ribbon didn't want to change my orginial desgin.

    I am not sure if I have made enough though. I have 85 order of service covers. We have got 58 adults and 15 children coming to wedding breakfast but reckon a lot of the evening guests will come along to the church service. Thought we can hand them out 1 between 2 maybe. Or do you reckon I need to make more?

    I am on the hunt for a template for the inside of the order of service if anyone has one - really for the layout on the pages rather than content. Need it as an a5 booklet. Any ideas where to look?

    This may help? http://www.nofreetime.com/wedding-stationery/wedding-stationery-templates/default.aspx

    Mine are for a civil ceremony so I have just indicated the music and the readings so probably no good for you!

    at the moment I am making 50 but then you don't need mine for the hymn words!

    How many people do you think will come to the church service that are coming to the evening? I think 1 between 2 is fine and I would probably expect this. Why don't you make another 15 and have a round number of 100?

    Ahh thank you Leelee, it has taken so long but I have thoroughly enjoyed making them all. Just glad that I had six weeks summer holidays to do all this. Was the right thing to do having wedding in October instead of the hols, as i have had time to relax and enjoy doing DIY bits instead of rushing to get them done as well as school work.

    Crafty bits left to do... will have to be weekend jobs from now on.

    * Write table names on blackboards

    * Make table plan

    * Home made favours in boxes and ribbon tied round (week before)

    * Order of service inserts

    * Make the S for sweets

    Hopefully thats it!
