August 09 - Not long left now

mrs k 2 b, 5 May, 2009 at 16:25 Posted on Planning 0 18

Hi - just thought i would see how everybody is and what things you have left to do. Im so excited and eagerly counting the days down but between now and then i have to go back to work from maternity leave ☹️

Im sending the evening invites out this month. Had the mens suits fitted on saturday, but my brother who is meant to be an usher didnt turn up, so i quite rightly told him to "stick it".

Does anybody else feel like its just you getting excited? my freinds, bm's etc dont really mention it to me. Maybe im just being selfish lol

    Hiya,

    Things have taken a down ward turn, since the upset with my dad. So my excitement and anxiety where all mixed together him spending a day in the company of my mum and stepdad. Now he is no longer attending, the anxiety has gone but the excitement is slowly working its way back in. Money is now even tighter due to the situation with my dad.

    I can not believe I will be a Mrs in 109 days, my dreams are horrible!

    My day invites went out 2 weeks ago have received 1 acceptance so far, is that good or bad???? Requested for the 12th June. Starting to sort the evening ones out in the next couple of days. An inch of my skirt of my dress fitting me, but the top part is deffinately now to big. The bridesmaids dresses should be in soon, I think the end of this month. The suits are to be fitted in June. We bought some bubbles for the kids to keep them busy in the day from Landudno yesterday 3 for a quid thought a bargin! Slowly paying of the flowers, sorted readings waiting for hair practice in next few weeks and make-up. Once confirmation of numbers in day can sort favours out. Just need presents, ordering necklace for flower girl this week, then it just sister and fsil and the 2 boys not sure what to get yet. Also cameras for the table. If I listed everything would be better, not sure what missing and yet to be done. Or I have done and forgotten about.

    The scary thing is we are now in May there is only June and July (my birthday month) and then it will August!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scary!!!!!!!!!!!

    Only 109 days to go for me too.

    I change between excited and petrified. Mainly because I have just sat down and thought about all the things I still haven't done yet - I need a kick up the bum methinks

    I probably need to send out our invites as a priority... MrsKitty is making them for me so will send them once they are done. Otherwise I have lots to do but I absolutely refuse to get stressed out about it! Hair trial on Saturday and hen in 4wks!

    Hi, I'm 1st August. Trying not to stress too much! Invitations will be sent out in the next week or so, once they have been printed! Evening ones ready to be sent this weekend. My dress is in, just waiting for b/maids dresses to arrive now. Need to finalise little things like music, decorate post box, do table plan etc. Hen is in Benidorm early July so I'm really looking forward to that! Suits are ordered, need to finalise food and buy about 50 bottles of Martini Asti Spumante but still trying to find out who offers it at the best price!

    I'm excited yeah, but I can see myself getting mega stressed as I have a very laid back OH who says 'have whatever you want, if you like it, then I will'!!! argh!!!

    Good luck with your planning - what date are you getting married?

    Hi, I'm the 8th.

    I am not actually feeling that stressed about it. Maybe in slight denial that it is that soon. Think I've done most things. Day invitations went out at Easter. We are waiting for 9 replies I think but we have given them until 31st May. Going to wait a few more weeks to send out the evening invitations. Got to decide on table centres still and arrange to go and see OH's BIL to discuss cake. Suits are all sorted and paid for and the final fitting is all booked for 23rd July. I think my daughters dress will need altering slightly but I'm going to leave that for a bit. Then it's just the rest of the little bits to sort out - like shoes, etc. Oh and we ordered and paid for our wedding rings last Saturday so that's done too.

    Our friends and family all seem really excited about it. I feel like I never have anything new to tell them! ?

    Going to start printing inserts for evening invites tonight, h2b wants them out by the end of the week!

    Nothing like a bit of pressure, just need to get the replys in to help us determine what our budget for the food will be. To help review the honeymoon situation.

    August 22 for me.
    I finished writing out the invitations last night so they will be going out soon. I'm sick of people asking when we'll be sending them so I shall be glad to get them out! OH is also trying to be too accommodating to people, I keep having to reel him back in. For example, one of our friends doesn't eat chicken so I pre-warned her that was what we are having and that she'll have to have the veggie option which she was fine with. OH chips in with 'Oh, but I'm sure we could arrange for you to have red meat if you want'. Ummm...no we can't! Chicken or veggie, like it or lump it ?

My daughter has get her dress although I'm not too sure about it. Need to sort out outfit for my son and OH. Shoes are all sorted for me, I think son, daughter and OH are going barefoot. Everything else like flowers, photographer and evening meal wil lbe sorted when we get there.

    Can't get really excited until my dress fitttings start (been told I'll probably have at least 5!)

    We are the 29th

    Most things are done, men still need to be fitted for suits but they are ordered,RSVPs are starting to come in, my jewelery and BM gifts/jewelery are ordered.

    Erm that's all for now, we still need to decide on/buy favours, book guest transport but we can't do either of these until all RSVPs are back.

    Im so chilled out about it, not nervous or excited yet!

    xx
