Have I missed anything major?

BonnieLass, 11 May, 2009 at 15:14 Posted on Planning 0 19

Right, it's only a couple of weeks now til we reach the one year countdown to the big day! I wanted to have all the big things booked by the one year mark, so, have I missed anything out?

- Church

- Reception Venue

- Photographer

- Florist

- Cars

- String Quartet

- DJ (still to book but have quotes)

- Know we're going for an M&S cake

I suppose I need to start hunting for a dress now too!

    lol, that makes me feel better! What from the list haven't you done? So many services (in NI) seem to get booked up really far in advance, I've been a little obsessed with making sure we get what we want!

    Have the Save the Dates made at the moment (by HIB Vanilla Pod) - that was my raffle prize! I have to say, the samples she sent me were gorgeous!

    Other stationery, I'm still not sure on design etc.

    Jewellery, I want to wait til I have my dress.

    BM Dresses - I have my sister as MOH, she lives in Oz so will choose her own. Flower girl, I want to wait til I have mine so I can get her the same colour.

    Oh, forgot, I also have most of the goodie bag contents for Flower Girl & Page Boy!

    - Videographer if having one

    - Honeymoon

    - Toastmaster?

    - Other entertainment such as band, magician

    - Hairdresser/make-up artisit

    I think you've got everything else that can only do one per day. You are super organised I only booked my florist 2 days ago!

    Hi Sarah-Kay

    Not having a videographer, or any other entertainment. We felt that the room was too small for a band, so decided to stick with getting a DJ.

    Will be doing my own make-up (i'm a beauty therapist & trust no one else with my face lol) Hairdresser, I need to do a bit of research coz the venue is so far away - this can be next on the list with dress!

    Dumb question, I'm sure - but what is a Toast master? It sounds like something you toast your bread in, but really fancy!lol ?

    A toast master is aka a Master of Ceremonies. Like this guy http://www.johnrichardtoastmaster.com/ (We're actually using one of our ushers for this job, but this guy is our magician who also works as a toast master)

    Ah ok, I don't think we'll be having one - just use someone else from the wedding party (make them feel extra special lol)?

    Also a lot of venues on-the-day co-ordinators provide this service too.

    Don't forget the Boys Suits!

    You could also get a few bits done with the venue (Who's staying in what rooms, food menu, wines etc)

    Legal documents?

    Don't do too much though, you'll need to keep something back to get excited about!

    There's still loads on my list, haveen't even thought about rings yet, still need to sort cake, hopefully his nan can do it but if not need to sort that out, little BMs still need dresses, my jewellary and accessories are needed.

    Feel like I've done loads in the last four months but there's still so much to do for the last 4 months.

    We'd be here all day if i started on the things i've still to do, it currently takes up 3 pages of a4 paper.

    where we are getting married is 100 miles away from where we live so its kinda difficult. we're heading up later on this week though so hoping to have lots of things ticked off when we get back.

    That must be difficult, but I'm sure you'll get loads ticked off when you are there.
