Hi all,

I was just interested to see how far along with planning are you? i think i have got the most important things booked but havnt thought about invites! Or bought decorations etc!

When are you planning to send your invites out and when do you put for RSVP?

I know 9 months is a while of but it'l soon come round xx ?

    I take it you mean 2011?!? ?

    I need to sort out my shoes, jewellery, the BM's outfits and jewellery, the suits, the favours and the songlist for the DJ that's doing the evening entertainment. Plus a hundred other little things that I can't think of right now.

    Hi All,

    Things I have done so far:

    Ordered my dress, ordered BM's dresses, got my shoes, bought favour boxes, invite list, seating plan, booked venue, booked photographer, booked DJ, booked make-up lady (my mum's cousin is a beautician), ordered chair covers and balloons for the tables, decided which invitations we want.

    Things I haven't done yet:

    My jewellery, BM's jewellery, BM's shoes, confectionary to go in favour boxes (thinking of blue/green sweets like smarties, jelly beans or jelly babies to match our colour scheme, so waiting until nearer the day so they don't go off!), hired OH's suit, arranged flowers, booked hairdresser, decide on songs for the DJ, wedding breakfast menu choices, finally order invitations!

    So still loads of things to do, now I've written it all out, I'm panicking slightly, whoops!! Being constantly told by my mum to not do everything just yet, and to wait until after Xmas so we can really get going!!! Anyone else as unorganised as me, lol??
