Good Luck threads on WP

I've been thinking that. I just don't think there are enough regular users anymore. It's a shame.

I'm going to start one - I've got a venue twin.

I'll have a look and see if I start the trend again, need to find the 2013 brides thread. ?

I did notice that actually but I think a lot of the threads started earlier this year were always started by one lady and I just think she doesn't do them anymore.....

I'll bump them when I see them....

Yes I think it's just because we don't have so many regulars, or they've all been poached by FB groups. That is sad, you better have the tradition up back up and running by August!!! (Saying that, I rarely go on WP any more!)

We did have a routine going for HOF 2013 brides but sadly very few were regular posters on here so it lost momentum.

I should go on the WP bit a bit more, but well, I have nowt to plan except dress and ring and I can't bothered to look for either..

I've noticed it too. I know of some date/venue twins and was planning on starting them for those people nearer the time but it doesn't seem to be happening regularly anymore. I noticed that there were quite a few over the summer but I didn't know if that was just because it was a busy time of year for weddings.

I thought I posted quite a bit on WP but only 2 people wrote on mine. I think unless you are in the facebook group people dont bother as much. Shame as when I joined there used to be loads and I was looking forward to mine.

Blimey Bert, that's crap. Have a belated "hope you have a wonderful day and an even better life" from me.

Ah sorry Bert. I hardly go in there now. Another belated 'have a wonderful day'

And Bert, I love your avatar!

Sorry Bert. This has made me feel quite sad. It probably doesn't help that I'm off work with a virus feeling sorry for myself. I'm gonna put a shout out on WP to see if there is anyone other than Maldives who is getting married this year. We then need to organise ranks for 2014!

To be honest when I come on here now I spend more time on OT.

Jesus h Christ footers I don't think I've read so much fluff from you as I just did in that good luck post. Careful you will be losing your scariest hitcher title.

When you finally (yawn) finish your wedding report, you might see some more....

Thanks guys!

And welcome to the rest of your life OT!

I tried my best I'm afraid - I bumped it and private messaged a few others that were planing at the same time but nothing ☹️

Ha, maybe I am just not actually that nice?! Thanks t4yt0, atleast I had a nice message from you

Bert that is rubbish! I think maybe us OTers need to make more of an effort with good luck threads. I feel bad that there are some regular posters that aren't getting them.

I'm not even on the 2014 list, so I don't stand much of a chance!

Now that is definitely rubbish! If I remember correctly, there was a lot of GL threads floating around that time and I'd say it was just lost in the middle!

Get on there then!!

In pretty new but I get on as much as time allows with a toddler! I haven't seen one yet but would post! Would be nice to get something going again, everyone wants to feel warm and fuzzy on their big day!

You'll get an Otter one.

It'll be an amazing Otter one! TBF the last one I remember posting on was Funkys I think - or FFs?

You're too famous around these parts to not get one.

It makes me feel genuinely sad to hear that some didn't get one or didn't get much response.

I have to say, there don't seem to be many people who really stick around long enough to allow you to get to know them on WP. I feel there are more permanant people & people you get to know on OT, that might be why there's been less good luck threads??

Think there's probably a lot pf people who join and lurk - the same questions pop up on WP a lot or may be people join to ask one or two specfic things and then get bored. There's that massive rush of excitment when you first start planning and then a lot of people hit the lull and lose motivation (cue some of the 'awww I've lost my wedding mojo' threads). People just have no endurance these days...(walks off muttering and bitter).

As a WPer I have to confess I didn't do it before because I wasn't sure how it worked or if there were little helpers kinda responsible for the task. Didn't want to give off the vibe I was butting in and getting it done if someone else was about to, if you see what I mean?

But have restarted the trend now after Footers and Bookish and will try and watch it like a Hawk!

@ATB, any reason why you're not on 2014 list yet?

Oh Bert that's rubbish - belated congratulations! I started one a few weeks ago for a dress twin I knew was getting married but wasn't sure of other dates to come. I think as there's less date twins people seem to forget too. Meant to start a post about this after we spoke about it at the weekend but haven't had a chance so well done Bookish for sorting!Hopefully there's enough of us 2014ers keeping an eye on it now to keep them going.

Just realised i'm not on the list!

Don't worry Muppet I'll remember you anyway as you're the day before me :-)
