In a bit of a wedding planning lull [:(]

Browny, 21 July, 2010 at 11:39 Posted on Planning 0 6

So I got engaged on April fools day this year, and the wedding is booked for 11th June 2011.

So far I've: booked the church, booked the wedding breakfast and reception venues (separate), booked caterers, booked DJ, my dad/BM's OH is doing photography between them, OH's Aunt doing the flowers, OH's sister (and BM) is doing the cake, friend has a nice BMW so going to ask him to drive us to the church/reception and be the toastmaster, going to order my dress on Saturday (yay!), friend doing filming on the day, friend doing hair - oh and booked the honeymoon! How could I forget that!

So anyway, according to my wedding planner thingy I've done everything I need to do with 12 months to go. The next stage in the planner is 9-3months and thats September-March. BM dresses going to wait until September to get as one of my BM's is travelling until then anyway. Plus, we dont have any pennies to start buying anything until then. E.g. accessories, shoes, favours etc. So I dont have much going on and I feel a bit down about it. I do still have hitched to keep me going but I guess I want to be doing weddingy things constantly!

A bit of a pointless post really, but I guess I was just wondering if I'm the only one in this in-between lull stage?

    I have found the same, probably the problem of planning a wedding so far in advance.

    Thank god for hitched forum and the other forums to keep me excited!

    Write lists of things you would like to buy - you can always change your mind later

    play with the budget in excel - favourite pastime of mine

    just because it says you have to do something in a certain timescale does not necessarily mean you have to....

    I have started printing out banners to decorate my venue and my wedding is july 2nd 2011

    best of luck!!

    Well it was in the evening - so after 12 o'clock! But he wouldn't have dared joke about it as I'd been waiting sooooo long for him to ask. I think I would have actually punched him in the face if he'd said 'April Fools!' after proposing. ?

    Aww bless you - I think you should be proud of yourself for having so much completed - make the most of it and relax before it all goes a little mad.

    Is there anything that your making that you could get started on to keep you busy - maybe personalising something, making invitations, name cards, menu's if you know what they will be?

    Possibly - I guess it doesnt matter if its done now or later and we have a lot of the materials already from the save the dates! Me and my sister (CBM) are hand making all the stationary so I guess we could get started on the name cards as we are carrying the same theme throughout. We also need to design the invitations so we could do that I suppose!

    I think it makes it harder as we dont have any spare money for me to start getting the little bits yet so I just have to keep putting ideas together and looking at google images and wedding magazines so as soon as we have the money I know exactly what to buy!
