July 2011 weddings how we all getting on?

No, it's not long at all, I can't believe how fast the time is flying by. Not panicking yet though!!!

I wrote a list of things still to do the other day and it's still longer than it should be :-

Flower girl dress, jewellery and shoes

Buy candles for the centrepieces

Lace for the lantern jars I'm making

Underwear/garter

Perfume for the day

Favours for the men

Ushers gifts

Gift bags for children

Book beauty treatments

Makeup trial

Pre wedding photo shoot

Finish table plan and place cards

Give notice to registrar

and maybe some other bits and bobs

Hopefully over the next couple of weeks I can be crossing off most of this. Hope everyone else is a bit more organised than I am. x

I'm too scared to start a to do list, we only got engaged Feb 26th so just been ploughing on. Sure it will be ok, I'm a performing arts teacher at school, if I can organise 100 kids putting on a full scale musical then this will be easy! ?

Morning Girls!

Right, heres my to do list hope i havnt missed anything!

Book Honeymoon (Going to book it mid June for a last minute deal)
Rings (Mine is on order, OH has his already but we intend on sending them off to be engraved)

Burn Ceremony Songs onto CD
Send men for there suit fitting (End of May)

And Just generally pay for everything! next thing on the list to pay for is the Registrar

I've probably missed something but if i remember i'll edit & add it on!

Getting butterflies everytime it's mentioned! Anyone else?! Can't believe my hen is next month and getting married the month after next. The Royal Wedding made me even more excited about my own! I have a few bits left to do but on the whole it's sorted.

How's everyone getting on with their RSVP replies? I have a few left to come but the deadline isn't for a couple of weeks. Anyone had any major dramas?

my favours we have decided to donate for each person to the childrens hospital charity in sheffield as 5 weeks ago today my 5 yr old son was rushed there to have a serious op. and all the staff was fab. really helped us and really looked after my baby!

my auntie and cousin (cbm) is making my cake so have to buy all ingredients and trims for that.

Just need to have hair trial (next week)

Decorate guest book and print out seating plan.

Final dress fitting of course but thats a week before the wedding. that's it!!

Ah fizzypop- you are my date twin! Yeah its the first time I found anyone to twin with!!

Ah i forgot about guest book - do you think I could make one? Maybe buy a notebook with nice paper and decorate front?

31st? I didn't know I had a twin! Yay! How you getting on? xx

Yes the 31st, I saw your name on the 2011 brides list!

Umm... I think I'm getting there but we are doing it all in 5 months, dont get much help from OH as he works some crazy hours, and being a secondary school teacher its coming up to exam times, but have been very lucky and things have fallen into place so think I'm on track. Will def be relying on half term holidays I think!

All the major things are done, venue, my dress, suits,photographer, cake, invites out, and as the venue is doing all catering its not too bad. All the personal touches to go!

How are your plans going, where are you getting married... I'm an Essex Girl!

Yayy its coming round quickly x x

Ah, I love having a twin!

5 months?! Wow, my planning will be 2 years 4 months when we get married. You must be very organised!

How weird, I'm also marrying a Secondary School teacher. I'm in Kent, so next county My plans are going Ok, pretty much sorted now I think, having make up trial soon and going to try my dress on again tomorrow x

We have been planning for over 2 years also - its gone so quick though

Tell me about it! Where you honeymooning, Black Cat? x

Well we have been on a roll today. we went out and paid the balance of our photographer (well only onther £250 but not till we get our photos back so this is not in wedding budget as such). flowers and venue. now we have nothing left to pay for other than gifts and a few nik naks for around the room. we are sooooo excited now. h2b keeps calling me Mrs P lol x

I must admit I think its all ok so far, sure I've missed some really obvious stuff that i should do, but I'm just going with the flow at the moment. I do think the advantage to doing quick means I've had to be quite decisive so that has saved some time

Hi Girls

I am going to Marmaris in Turkey for Honeymoon, adults only 5 star resort - looking forward to it

Anyone else away on honeymoon?? xx

Hi girls, I'm so excited now! Booked my Hen Do yday so it has made it all very real. There is 6 of us (invited 20!) going to Blackpool for the weekend.

Meeting with DJ

Table plan, name cards, table numbers and menu's (all to be done once RSVPs are back)

Final dress fitting on 2nd June and will get to see veil and tiara too

Waiting for BM dresses to come in and then they will ALL need altering! Hope 4 weeks is long enough to get that done!!

Then just got to pay for a few bits and pieces.

We've just booked our honeymoon, we are off to Kenya, went to Dr tonight to get booked in for jabs and looks like I will be a human pin cushion for the next few weeks, and a broke one at that! (Although we put that into the budget)

We are not booking our honeymoon yet. It's driving me mad. But OH really wants to take me and my son to Australia, He went there last year to visit friends who emigrated and loved it and promised he would get us all out there.

Kenya will be fab!
