How organised are you !?!?!

Chippers, 30 September, 2011 at 09:53 Posted on Planning 0 17

Me and the future Mrs Chippers were chatting away last night about our wedding, and going over everything and I am quite convinced we are quite well organised !

We get married next July, and so far have the following all done -

Venue
Food
Drinks
Bridesmaid Dresses
The wedding party suits
Flowers
Cake
Invitations
Favours - We know what we are doing, just got to buy the bits !
Photographer
Videgrapher
Cars
Band/DJ
Centrepieces
Card post box
Garden games
Honeymoon - decided last night, and booking today !!!!

The best thing about it all, is with a bit of shopping around and asking people if they know anyone, it all seems to be coming in under our budget !!

Am I a right plank by posting this and have I just jinxed it all !!!??!!!

How is everyone else getting on ???

    Sounds like you ladies are all getting there nicely!

    I too liked to be very organised, so I was thinking about all the little bits early on, as they really can add up too.

    We are getting married July 7th and so far have not done much:

    Dress, Crown & Shoes bought

    Church Booked

    Venue Booked

    Wedding night hotel booked

    The plan for the rest of this year is to sort out photographer, flowers, honeymoon & wedding rings.

    Have had meetings with togs, florests and jewellers so just need to get things finalised and booked now, so should be easy enough.

    The rest we will leave until next year. Although I have a good idea of what the bridesmaids will be wearing so might get those sorted this year too.
