    As soon as I've chosen my dress, chosen the bridesmaids dresses and therefore colours and made them!!!

    Hopefully by the end of next month, dress shopping on Sat ?

    We're getting married 20 September. We're sending invites 20 May, RSVP by 20 July and then a month for me to chase everyone who hasn't bothered to rsvp before we have to have final numbers to the venue

    I#%92ve had 4 RSVP#%92s back; that makes it all rather official ?

    ? for your H2B.

    Thanks for remembering my MIL2B - she had her op last tuesday. She only had to have a lumpectomy and 2 lymph nodes removed. She gets the results next wednesday which will tell us if she needs more lymph nodes out, and whether she needs chemo as well as radiotherapy. She is doing well - she was out of hospital the next day. Bless her - she hurt her arm yesterday putting her rollers in to curl her hair!!!!

    We have 44 guests so far so am very excited!! Mind you - the RSVPs have tailed off this week so I am getting worried that I am going to have to chase people!!

    Not long now!!!! ?

    I'm 20 September too & haven't a clue when I'm sending them out, I
    have a lady making them for me but not decided what I want yet!

    Should I be getting a wriggle on? I thought I had loads of time, far too relaxed with all this wedding stuff?

    Hello V,

    You got the job then??? Fantastic news. ?

    Ive been decorating so not really been around much either and I tend to lurk more now. Family are all fine. J has just been to stay in Dumfries with my mum for the weekend and has come back saying Wee and ken. Is really funny with an English accent. ?

    June sounds far more reasonable for a lazy ? like me. ? I was starting to think I was going to have to put some effort in. ? Are you all organised?

    I didn't get the job I went to London for, but I got another one - no way near as good or even that interesting - but its only until the last few remaing thinds are paid for - honeymoon and spending money!

    So I've been doing loads of overtime cos the more money I make now the quicker I can retire? we were saving fine etc with me not working, but it left us with next to no pennies at the end of the month to go out with and do family stuff so I got a wee job to pay for the wedding bits - my wages to straight to the saving account!

    Anyway I digress - Everything is all done now - just have to buy gifts for men & dads, something else for my sister (can't say what cos she comes on here?) and table diamonds. S ordered his kilt - its costing more than my dress by £20?? but thats excluding all my accessories so really my outfit cost more? and got the cake sorted! When I called them for a quote they tole me that the one I wanted was going to be outside of the caterers package so we'd need to pay an extra £50 but when we got there on the day and went through it with her she said because we didn't want the topper and were only having 3 tiers and 3 colours (ivory, red & silver) that it wouldn't cost anymore for her to make than the ones included in the package so we saved £50!!!

    Getting really really excited now cos S cousin is getting married 3 weeks before us and they just text me for our address cos they're getting their invites sorted!

    Luv always

    Victoria

    ?I'm mid Sept & was planning on sending mine out in mid June, with RSVP mid Aug

    My venue don't need numbers and details unitl 2 weeks before so that gives me 2 weeks to chase...

    I hope this is early enough - I'd just gone by the standard bumph in wedding mags really which said 6-8 weeks before.

    I haven't even made mine yet ?

    I wouldnt worry - I just wanted enough time to bump people up the list and time to sort table plan as am having that made for us.

    Well I'm not bumping anyone as we've not got a min numbers policy & it's a small wedding anyway.
    I'm also making my own table plan which really isn't going to be fun a few weeks before the wedding! oops!

    I'm not really worrying as there's no way I can get the invitations out before June anyway so it'll have to do?

    We're 31st Aug. We've already sent out save the dates and we're only sending out half of the invites by post - the other half are going by email. We've also got a website so we're pointing everyone there so hopefully our friends who I'm expecting might be problematic at responding will just have to press reply! We're sending day invites out 30/4 and evening invites out 15/5. We need replies by 15/7.

    I'm September 20th and am aiming to send mine out mid May so I can start chasing defaulters mid June.

    I'm hoping that'll be possible, I've picked them but not ordered them, and they take about 6 weeks!

    Better put another phone call on my to-do list!

    24th august and sent the first lot out last week. Mum's still deliberating over invite list so will send last lot out at the weekend. I'm giving plenty of notice because it's bank holiday weekend so I figured people might be on holiday etc.
    RSVPS 7th June. Don't know why, just a random date I picked! Think we go for final numbers 2 weeks before the day so plenty of time to invite more people (or not as we're already 29 above what we originally said we'd have for the meal!)
