Hi all - Well, we have eventualy got everything sorted! Church and venue booked for the 29th June 2013, band booked and caterers booked! Phew?

Help 1

So, i now need to send some save the date cards out and would appreciate any recomendations as to where to get these

Help 2

Need to book a photograper, looking for someone to be there for most of the day and apart from a few formal shots would be looking for someone to do lots of capturing the moment kind of photos etc - I'm in the Colchester/Ipswich area so any recomendations would be much appreciated!

Help 3

Intend to make my invites, just looking for advise on the best places to buy the card or kits etc.

Thanks all!

    Hi!

    I have booked Sarah London for our photography, she was at my sister in law's wedding and she was fantastic, did exactly what you wanted! she is based in Dagenham but travels all over! i found her prices reasonable too, she offers all photo's on a disc which is what were having! x

    Hey date twin, we did our save the dates on vistaprint, they were pretty resonable and there are always deals going on...

    Our invites we are having a friend do so sadly cant help with that or TOG as im in surrey, have a search around for them though they get booked up pretty quick

    If you're making your own invitations then personally I'd probably get postcards printed from somewhere like vistaprint as it's super cheap-I intend on using these for my thank you cards.

    I wanted all the stationary matching so used www.inviting-designs.co.uk for my Save the Dates plus everything else, brilliant service

    Well done on getting the big things booked, surprising how quickly they get booked.

    For save the dates, I'd suggest Vistaprint, you can get very cheap (or sometimes free) postcards or magnets for save the dates. I can't help with number 2 as I'm not from your local area, and number 3, I used PDA card (google should show the website) as it was by far the cheapest place for paper and card.

    I too was going to recommend vistaprint for the save the dates, and https://www.pdacardandcraft.co.uk/ for the invites. PDA had the largest range of cards, papers etc & were reasonably priced. All the sample invites I got sent just werent what I wanted, and/or far too expensive.

    If you wanted the invites already finished completely, PDA may not be for you. I originally planned on printing them all at home, but having pocketfolds & trying to print maps on both sides of the card, & making them line up was difficult. PDA printed the maps, wording etc & it looked much more professional. I had to glue the invite in, glue the pocketold & envelopes then added ribbon, diamante, velcro dot etc.

    I picked one of their most expensive cards with pearlescent paper, but I think they worked out about £2.50 each, & thats including all the embellishments. Obvioulsy a more basic card or not having the diamante heart would make them much cheaper.

    Cant recommend a TOG though I'm afraid.
