June Brides...Where are you at and are you excited yet?!

I'm not massively excited at the moment - but I have so much stuff on at the moment like my uni work with the dissertation hand in date a month before the wedding, and then my placement through may and june I don't have time to think about the wedding - other than the planning of it and paying for things lol.

I only have things to pay for now - and to make the order of services. I decided earlier I am buying cones of confetti, saves me making it and sourcing the confetti lol.

We still havent got hardly any of My OH's replies back yet which means at the moment theres about 6 people on his side coming because until they give me the menus theyre not eating! which means not coming!! I have to write the name cards but I cant do that until ive done the table plan (were alternating colours)

Think I'm going to name the tables RAF Planes.

And im having issues with my bridesmaid dresses too - its an absolute nightmare!!

BUT apart from all of that its going very well and im very happy lol. xx

Hiya,

I'm not this June but I will be a year this June so does that count to get excited about ?

Sounds lovely with all your plans and everything.

Regards to table names, what's your theme?

My fiancee and I are having Dr Who as table names but our overall theme is hearts and seaside as were getting married in Cornwall.

Ideas for names of tables could incorporate into something you both really like or carry on you theme maybe?

HTH

We don't really have a theme other than our colours being sage green and pale pink and its quite a spring/summery fresh colour theme going on. Was thinking motorbike names as my H2B is a keen biker (ive just got my first helmet!) so thought this would be nice to incorporate for him.

That's a good idea yeah or incorporating your spring/summer theme, could you maybe have flowers as names (particularly focussing on spring/summery flowers?)

? suggested it to H2B by interrupting Mock the Week and he actually sounded enthusiastic about the bike idea so thats that decision made! Thanks

It's a brilliant idea

My OH not so keen on names for the tables though - silly boy! lol

Hannah I didnt think mine would be either, especially after I ruined a punch line on his TV programme but I just have to mention motorbikes and he instantly perks up! That may also be because he wants to arrive at the wedding on a classic motorbike...i'm not so keen on that one as we are renting the suits and have visions of him smiling at me with flies in his teeth!!

Excellent x

Hello! Sorry I'm joining this a bit late!

I posted my invites yesterday so I'm really excited (and a tad nervous after the stories on here!) about getting my RSVP's back! We also paid our honeymoon off yesterday and went to Debenhams and scanned our gift list which was loads of fun!

I am starting to get more and more excited - especially now I'm at the 2-months-and-a-bit mark. Mostly I've felt stressed due to having so much to do! I'm worried about the BM dresses as they only come in 3 weeks before the wedding and the girls cant meet up until 2 weeks before the wedding, which means getting them altered in those two weeks! I'm just praying it can be done.

Going to our venue today which have a wedding fayre on which will be nice to go and see it again.

Hello Ladies,

We are June 4th and I think are doing ok. (Said with reservations as you just never know!)

Most of our RSVPs are back and we are chasing those that sren't. Just delivering the evening invitations now. (venue needs to know numbers 6 weeks before when we pay the balance)

No tables as we are having a buffet and no bridesmaids so I am spared those hassles!

Had hair trial yesterday which went rather well - phew - pleased as I had no real idea what I wanted but my lovely hairdresser sorted me out.

Today I shall be making a necklace for my mum to wear (Mother's Day pressy sewn up) and adding some structure to the bow on the back of my dress. It's too floppy and we can't have that! And I'm breaking in my wedding shoes by wearing them round the house!

Am getting a bit excited now, if only to take my mind off very painful work!

Hi all, we are June 10th so getting very excited now, I think I am getting on everyones nerves counting down lol. I've loved all the wedding planning and now that everything we planned is actually going to happen I have butterflies every time I think about it.

We sent our invites out this week so hopefully the rsvp's will start arriving soon. We have just paid off the venue hire and photographer. Next thing is to book our pre meet appt with the registrar where we pay them and give them our music, choice of words for the ceremony etc they will then run through what will happen on the day with us.

H2B still has to get his suit but the waistcoats and cravats for him and his best man arrived in the week so they can go and do that now. Mum has her outfit all sorted and we just have my sister to sort for her dress. My dress goes to the seamtress in April for alterations so I'm excited about that... hmm what else... oh yes flowers have been chosen and menu too.....

Hi ladys we are june 12th and i just cant wait for it to be here now i keep counting the weeks to see if it any less lol. Iam fully done now just keep thinking of little bits that will look nice o we still need to see the venu about the food but that is it yay!

Hello, we're June 18th and I am very excited!

I've just sent out the evening invitations... we're having a sit-down meal in the evening, so it had to be done early so I have time to chase those people who think it isn't necessary to RSVP!

Anyway I got my first evening reply today from a friend... it was so cute! Our RSVP is prewritten so people just have to tick boxes, but she'd added bits in so instead of:

"Thank you for your kind invitation... blah blah... will accept with pleasure"

it now says

"Thank you so so much! for your kind invitation... blah blah... will accept with great! pleasure"

I've just turned the RSVP postcard over and she's written "Aww... this is the cutest invite I have ever received! Cannot wait!" and it's not been stamped so she must have posted it by hand at about 8am in the morning!

This is the exact same problem as mine!!

Except its just the wedding breakfast rather than in the evening, but OH's side dont find it necessary to RSVP With their menus, and when I ask them, they seem to think that becuase were getting married in June that they have loads of time...theres a reason why I put by the latest APRIL...WE NEED TO PRE ORDER!

It's driving me MAD!!

FutureMrsJ - we are date twins! Getting married June 18th also! I am pretty excited, although feel like there is a lot to do in terms of creativity! Currently making my Order of Day fans! After that I have confetti cones to do, decide on centrepieces, send out evening invites, chase day RSVPS (seems like there is a lot of people that dont see it necessary to respond!) etc etc....Its all a little daunting, but we will get there!

My date twin!!! ?

I didn't even realise it was 2 months and abit... that sounds soooooo close!!!! ?

But I'm soooooooo ?

OH had his first fitting sat - and looked LUSH! ❤️ - I'm going for a fitting on sat - cant wait to try my dress on, again!!!

We sort out reception, meal, music, photographer when we get into resort. Can't wait!!! wooohooo!

Nerves haven't kicked in yet, just excited.... (she says...!) xxx

ps, good luck all! xxx

Looks like there are three of us on the 4th June!

I think everything is going ok. Invatations are out and RSVP's are coming back. We have most of them for the day guests.

We picked the suits for the boys on Saturday and am looking forward to seeing my OH in it on the wedding day. Bridesmaid dresses are coming along nicely (fab recommendation Fleur10). I have my hair and make up trials in the next couple of weeks. I have my wedding ring and OH has almost made a decision. Just waiting for my dress to come in (a bit nervous about this).

We still need to pick our music and whether we are having readings. Also need to finish our place names and stationary which we are making ourselves.

Think that is everything left. All the big decisions have been made and my hen is in just under a month!!
