Any one getting married December 2012?

I have 99 days to go!!! ??

? ? ?

100 for me!

Suppose I better get my invitations sent out soon ?

Me too!! I picked them up at the weekend, but need to put them together ?

80 days to go for me - eek! So much to do! All getting very real now we're getting our RSVP's back, going to have to start thinking about the table plan soon!

I cannot wait to wear my shoes, they're LK Bennett and bright red, I absolutely love them, and will definitely wear them after the wedding!

Glad to see how the other December brides are doing, I feel like there are hundreds of things I have to do between now and the 8th December!

Just flicked through this having got married on New Year's Eve last year - so strange to think I was doing my countdown this time a year ago and was excited. It's a fab time of year for a wedding. something inherently romantic about it all. Good luck

Hi December Brides

Only 102 days for me, that has gone soo quickly.

Day invites out waiting for RSVP'S now (people are slow to do this or is it me wanting things done yesterday ?) , i'm sending Evening ones out shortly .

Suits for the Groom and Best Man sorted .

My dress is here and i've been to try it on i can get into it albeit alittle snug on the top .

Going to see wedding co-ordinator at venue in October to go through the details of what we want for the day etc

Only got to find my mother her outfit now .

Already thinking about going to book appointments for the wedding mani and peddi as the date of the wedding is on 30th December and i know that my nearest beauth spa (which is situated in a very busy shopping centre) will have many a post-christmas shopper and no car parking spaces

Sorry it's so big! These are my shoes MrsBadger ?

101 Days for me ?

I know what your saying Angel Wings about waiting for the RSVP's, I think people are just slow! We have started on the evening ones but doing that bit by bit as there as sooo many! (OH is a Firefighter & there is all his crew!!)

I have booked beauty stuff also for that reason, plus I keep adding things to the list! ?

My mum is having great fun winding my OH up about her outfit, we will start looking once some of the winter stock hits the shops.

Excitement is starting to build now ?

Love them, they're fab!

Jeez, you all seem way ahead of me, I haven't even received the hard copy sample from my invitation designer yet, she did say she posted it last week, however it hasn't replied, so she's making us up another one.

Guys got their kilts sorted last week, still need to find some sort of top half attire for my 3 year old, as don't want him in formal shirt/jacket, ideas?

Ordered flowers last week.

Hair and make up trial booked for the 6th October.

Still to source gifts for 2x BM's, was thinking grey/silver bracelets..... Also, need to source Snowflake brooches to go on BM's dresses.

Puddycat, they're amazing!!!! Very wintery!!

I can't figure out how to attach pictures yet so here's a link to mine

We went for a menu tasting last night, and let me tell you, if you every have cause to go to Ringwood Hall Hotel in Brimington, you are in for a right treat!!! xx

76 days for me.

I think I have most things sorted!

Hi ladies

Ive got 71 days left eeek!

I sent our day invites out this week and now Im finishing off making the evening invites.

We still need to sort suits and I need to order my veil.

Its come around so fast!

Hi All,

How are we all getting on? I went for my first dress fitting today and I am even more delighted with my dress. It was suggested today that I try it on with a hoop..... WOW, I am thrilled. It showed off all of the detail and made it so much easier to walk, (always a bonus). It makes the train behave which is brilliant as I have no bridesmaids. The added bunty bonus is that it also brings my waist IN...... I have put on weight so as I am sure you will all understand I am even more delighted. ?

How is everyone else doing?

Tell me something, who would have thought it would take so much to get an RSVP back!! We put RSVP cards in the Day invites, envelopes with address labels and even put a stamp on for them!!!! ?

So i posted our invites yesterday and have had 4 RSVP's today! Not family as well, I'm amazed.

My first fitting is now booked for 1st November, I asked them on the phone for the measurements they took when I ordered it in May as I have been trying to get into better shape (for the wedding but more for the bikini on honeymoon!!) and I have lost a total of 8 inches from the 3 measurements! ?

Found some lovely shoes in the 25% off sale at Debenhams too for my bridesmaids which arrived yesterday. Menu tasting next Weds, it's all so exciting! x

8 inches, that is fantastic. What is your secret?

My next fitting is on the 7th November. They are putting a corset back in from zip so it takes the pressure off! We are not going to go on honeymoon until about March. Where are you going?

My boots are tight in the width of the foot. Am hoping they will give if i wear them around the house. If not I will have to get another pair just wider!?

I FINALLY found some wedding shoes today!! ?

Dress fittings start next month ?

Found some lovely bridemaid shoes - Just waiting for one of the bridesmaids to make sure that they are happy with them. ?

Invitations have started going out this week, although i'm still putting some together which is very painful!!

Hiya ladies - well our invites are out and RSVP's slowly coming in!!! Gave them till end of October though so I guess that's our own fault

Got wedding fair at my wedding venue this weekend and can't wait

October is big month for us - we have our mini photo shoot with our photographers, 2nd food taster, I have my first dress fitting and hair trial and we both have our hen and stag do's Scary how quickly it's coming around.

I went to a wedding fair last weekend and just found myself wondering around as I've sorted most bits now - made me feel sad that soon it will all be over!!!

Next mission is to wear in my wedding shoes before fitting and finally get around to organising all my paperwork

xxxx

Hey, it's reassuring to hear we're all around the same planning point, i have my tasting in october, suit fitting saturday, dress fitting in half term and running through timings with our wedding co-ordinator in nov and swear to hitched god i will send the invites THIS weekend!

I desperately need to sort out a hair person.

My main worry is how spotty i have gotten (i have cystic acne so normal creams dont work) and the more stressed i get the more bumps i get and the bumps i get the more stressed I get. it's a vicious vicious cycle

on the plus side i think i have finally decided not to have a headpiece at all...

x

Gemicle have you tried neat witch hazel? I have PCOS hence the wait gain ☹️ and I used to suffer really badly with my skin. I have tried everything and this is by far the best. It is also the cheapest!! You can buy it in chemists.

October is a busy one for us as well. Hen & Stag on the 27th. I need to start getting paperwork in order as well ie passport!

Hey puddycat no secret just extra hard work I'm afraid! Jillian michaels is my new best friend!

I do the ironing in my wedding shoes it's a funny sight with comfy's and a hoody or sometimes pj's :-)

We're going to st lucia for our honeymoon to the sandals resort with a personal butler I cant wait! Anyone else tend to think u forget about the honeymoon as everyone's just asking about the wedding and then it's just the best feeling when u remember oh yes, holiday of a lifetime the week after!

Nye2012 where are you getting married? It's just that there's a wedding fayre at our venue this weekend too.?

Sorry to hear about your skin I hope it gets better. Slightly related but not exactly the same do any if you ladies recommend a decent but no too expensive moisturiser for combination skin? I've recently been getting terrible dry skin around my chin area, iv been putting e45 on it which helps but it's not clearing up? X

Aggggghhhhhh, just had a panic!! A friend just called to say the hotel we are holding our reception in is FULL ? ? ?

I have just called and they have closed it to anyone that is not a guest .....phew. There are 32 rooms!!!!!

Panic over lol ?

Easthampstead Park in Wokingham Whereabouts are you getting married?

xx

Best thing I find for spots is sudocrem. Put it on at night and in the morning spots are mostly gone

Love those boots Puddycat. I'm having difficulty finding any shoes I like, thought the Irregular Choice Mrs Lower ones have caught my eye. I also can't find any underwear but I might not need a bra with my dress even though the old norks are fairly substantial. Whats everyone else doing?

Most RSVPs are back - still waiting for a couple of people, Final measuring for dress on the 13th October - then they will make it apparently. Seems like its leaving it very late to me, but the wedding dress lady assures me its ok! Hair & make-up trial on the 14th, menu tasting in half term, wedding rings on their way.

Still feels like theres so much to do though....

Which Jillian Michael's are you doing - I'm about to start 30 day shred haha

xx

I'm getting married at Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa just outside of Liverpool NYE2012, I saw your venue on the venue flash it looks fab! And I am presuming a new years eve wedding for you?? What a party!

Good luck with the 30 day shred, I did it in August it's fab and I lost 6 inches. I would definitely suggest taking your measurements first as you are likely to lose inches rather than weight. I'm now doing a mixture of Killer Buns and Thighs (really tough!!) and Ripped in 30 as well as running, cycling and cross training at the gym. xx

I have my dress now and when I tried on a few weeks ago at the dress shop they suggested wearing it without a bra. Its very fitted and holds me well so I think I will just go without! I was worried if I wore a bra it might show at the back slightly or I might be pulling it up all day!

My final dress fitting is going to be at the start of November, again they suggested this. They said it will definitely need taking in on the hips unless I put a few pounds on!

Im starting to get my RSVPs back now but not many from our family yet which surprises me. Some of OH family have RSVP'd through facebook even though we gave them a card to return or a special email address. That annoyed me slightly but I think thats a bit bridezilla of me hehe! At least they replied

We sent out RSVP cards with our invites too and I'm surprised at how few we've got back! I think people wanted to keep them. We set up a website with GettingMarried.co.uk and a lot of ours have responded online!

I think I would have got a little annoyed about facebook RSVP's too to be fair!

On the RSVP front I know what you mean - I didn't put a little card in as we had cheque book style invites and there was loads of information on them so didn't want to add another page really. Put our address on for RSVP's and our getting married website. Had 4 through on website, 2 cards (one from my mum and dad as I said she had to haha). To be honest I wish we had just put our address as I love to receive the cards through the post.

Wish everyone would just RSVP though - think some people assume just mentioning our wedding to me is RSVPing but I need numbers people

xx

I've just got home to find our first 2 RSVP's......I was so happy! Sad isn't it ?

I've had a busy wedding week. Picked up and paid for OH's kilt, picking up bridesmaid dresses tomorrow! Going to spend Saturday looking for BM shoes, organising my hen night then going to the hitched Glasgow meet. Yay!

Invitations are being printed as we speak and hopefully have them all done and ready to post on Monday morning.

Still need to decide on my cake decoration, what flowers to have and what I'm going to do with my hair ?
