June Brides - how are you getting on?

Littlelaura82, 12 March, 2012 at 18:27 Posted on Planning 0 12

With my diary saying 12 weeks and my ticker saying 2months, 3 weeks it's starting to get very close :-)

How are my fellow June Brides and date twins getting on?

Our invites are all out and have an RSVP date of 10 more days for daytime guests and 20 more days for evening guests. We are meeting the venue tomorrow and have our food tasting on Friday. We had our marriage prep this weekend just gone and have booked in our pre-wedding shoot with the TOG for a couple of weekends time.

Eeee moving along nicely :-) xx

    I've still got 3mths 2wks and I'm bored of waiting ?

    Have next to nothing to do so have set myself the task of making one of these for h2b's wedding gift http://juliegillrie.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-star-trek-quiet-book.html he'll be chuffed to bits.

    The waiting seems so much longer too as we were originally going to set the date for only 6weeks time but decided to wait and have a summer wedding.

    Rsvp is for the end of the month although we're just waiting for 3 replys. hmm not much to say really

    I have just started the cambridge diet because ive put off dieting for far too long, only got about a stone to lose so not too much and i suppose its something to focus on.

    Ive still got to decide/order my flowers (foam) get my accessories get my little mans suit and shoes and some flower girl shoes and then were all sorted. xxx

    I still have some things left to do, but nothing too difficult.

    I have just made our menus' for the tables, it's making me hungry actually. I also will need to make the table plan nearer the time, but still waiting for quite a few RSVPs.

    We have to get OH a suit, but he wants to lose a few pounds first so we're holding off.

    I've got my first fitting on Friday, which I am excited about but also a bit worried in case it doesn't fit!?

    Got to organise BM dress fittings, but again we're leaving that until nearer to the time.

    I feel reasonably on top of it all, just got to pay for everything and lose a few more pounds now!

    How is everyone else getting on?

    Just little things really, some I can't do yet and some i can't make my mind up so will wait until the nearer the time when I will have more pressure! Oh and we can't find an organist who is available so are slightly panicking about that ?

    I think we are nearly done and I too am bored of waiting - I have been engaged since December 2009 so now just really want to be married.

    This weekend I have my dress fitting - quite nervous about it - it fit perfectly last time and the only alteration they were going to have to do was to the length but I am someone who is constantly gaining and losing weight so fingers crossed it still fits.

    I also have my make-up trial on Saturday and then food tasting on Sunday.

    We have an RSVP date of 31 March and can't believe how many people we are still waiting to hear from - a bit worried about it as we were planning a small wedding but on current numbers it looks like it is going to be even smaller than we thought and in order to meet our venue's minimum spend we may be turning all our guests into alcoholics!

    Apart from that though I think with 11.5 weeks to go we are all on track

    Can't believe how close it is now!

    We've just got all of the finishing touches left now like menus, order of service, place settings, table plan, post box and gift table decorations, my accessories, fittings, hair & make up trial (they're in April), the tasting menu and gifts.

    We're just starting to see the RSVP's coming back as our return by date is 31st March and we only sent our invites out last week.

    The main thing left to sort is the evening entertainment which is our job for this week.

    Still got lots to do but glad most of the main things are booked and crossed off the list.

    I keeep getting butterflies when I think about it.

    We have just sorted suits which was the biggest job left to do. I am now doing small jobs like printing signs, tying ribbons and stamping place cards. I am trying to decide whether or not too have a reading.

    Loads still to do! We haven't sent out invites yet, sending them this week with rsvp of 5th May. Still got to buy my shoes, FG dresses, MOTB outfit, the suits for the boys and a whole load of decorations for the venue! We need to get the wine and cake sorted and I'm not sure I'm happy with the band...may be re-visiting that!

    Also got hair and make up trials to do, orders of service to organise...I'm sure there's plenty more!

    I can't believe how soon it is and i have already started to get a lil nervous when ever i think of it.My desk top ticker says i have 3 months 2 weeks and 1 day to go. OMG. In the last month it is amazing how much we have sorted and finalised. I just have to sort things like venue table decorations and go shopping for my BM's shoes and clutch bags. I also want a bolero for me but still haven't seen one i like yet.My groomsmen need to get their measurements taken for their suits and i need my hair and makeup trials still. Still haven't had a first dress fitting yet either so need this and then i am sure it will have flown by. How exciting it is. I can't wait now needs to go quicker lol.
