Hmmm, seems like a lot written down, ooops!

May 13th here still have loads to do and i agree with all you girls you start to write all these jobs down and the lists get longer and longer

May 29th here.

I think everything is booked but things need finalising - such as:

All details with venue (they only want to see us 6 weeks before)

Flowers to pick

Dress fittings

Suits to finalise (awaiting samples for men to try on)

Hen party to organise

Hair/make up trials (are booked but not until March)

Favours to put together

Seating plan to finalise once RSVPs are in

I'm also mulling over whether or not have some balloons at night do.....

May 28th here ?

We have flowers & invitations left to get (gonna start making invites next weekend) and final plans with organisers. BM's shoes and that's about it me thinks ?

We are sending our invites out next week have the rest of you may brides sent your invites out yet?

How did the invites go?

We sent ours out at the end of December. I must say i didnt realise how bad people were at getting back to you. People do assume you just know their coming!?

Blimey! I've just sent my invites this week! Things seem to be moving so fast at the moment!

Hi all!

I'm getting married on the 21st May, can't believe how quickly the year has gone!! All I have left to sort is:

Sending invitations (we have made our own, just waiting for the printers to send them to us)

Order chairs

Order BM dresses (have one in mind)

Stationery for our 12 tables - cards with table number/name, placecards

Order of service designed and printed

Playlist put together for when we are eating dinner

Chose a 'first dance' song (although not sure we'll do one!)

Buy wedding rings

Buy a headband for my hair

Hair pieces for the 4 BMs

Buy some Bridget Jones pants!!

Buy a cake stand suitable for our 3 cakes

Order some form of entertainment for the tables

Order heart wreaths

Ummmmm not sure why I said "all I have left to sort" as there seems to be a lot when you write it all down!?

Hi Mrs B2B We hav a slight delqy in sending them but we send out next week and am dreeding chasing guests why can they not just give a straight answer lol

Worryingly, no-one seems to be getting married on 14th May - except me!!!! Is this becasue it is cup final day???? i wouldn't have had a clue as we are thankfully a footie free household, but a few guests have mentioned that its cup final! i should imagine the i-phones will be being constantly checked throughout the reception!! ?

May 29th for me and my Brummie.

Not sure there is much left to do to be honest! I think everything is sorted now (I have a very organised fiance)

I am the 29th May too!

Pretty sorted just waiting to order my jewellery and favours and wedding rings!

I can't believe how quickly it is coming around!!!

Oh no, does that mean it'll be around then next year too? My brother's going to kill me....

AHHHHHHHH!! This post pops up everynow and again and scares the cr*p out of me!!!

I still have so much to do, well it feels like it! I'm so organised, lists as long as my arm, all saved in lovely little folders on my computer but I'm not actually getting things completely sorted as being a Libra I am the most indecisive person in the whole world!!

Still to sort:-

My shoes, Hair accessory, jewellery

Invites not sent yet (Work in progress soon by the lovely Nat)

Favours (Ordered but not made up)

Gifts

Music - ALL OF IT

Still havent properly decided on hair!

Not 100% decided on flowers

Got to make table name frames/Place card holders

Table decs

OH MY GOSH!!

Where are you all at now?? Make me feel better ?

Actually I could thinlk of quite abit more!!!!!!!

Ditto!

Especially when I realise that I haven't actually done anything since I replied last time! In fact, my to-do list has grown by several yards since then!??

Well i am glad to see i am not the only bride still running around trying to get things done !!! well invites are sent so just have to wait for RSVPs now oh and do the 101 other things on my list. lol

The time is just flying by. I'm doing a countdown on my FB profile pics and am down to 103. Still got 2 stone to lose too!!!

Hey Im the 14th!! Yay!!

I didnt know it was cup final day either!! And OH hasnt mentioned it so I reckon he's not realised either lol.

Well all the big stuff sorted and paid for now.

Just got to put everything together and hope it all works ?

Oh phew - i thought i was the only 14th may bride and that perhaps there was a reason why no-one was getting married that day but i didn't know!! ha ha!! if its only the cup final then i don't care about that! i might even see if there's a tv there for the boys!

i think i've done most stuff - got to sort music for the church and the readings, oh and the flowers but i think i'm nearly there! i have the odd panic but i'm trying to keep bridezilla at bay and just enjoy it!

goodness knows what i am going to talk about when its all over!!!! ?

Hi I think i have most things done, met with the vicar to sort out the order of service so waiting for the printers to comeback with a design. I had my heart set on having the bells at the church but last week I got told that the bells where being cleaned and that they wouldn't be back in time for the wedding! They took them down in October. Anyway got over that shock so we decided to have a choir instead and boost the hymns. Now i get told that there isn't enough members for the choir to make any difference to the singing! so now I don't know what to do.

We went for our menu tasting, which was amazing. Got an appointment with the flower lady and final meeting with the car people next month.

Can't believe that are banns are getting ready next month - we have 6 weeks back to back as they need to be read in two churches.

I am excited about the wedding but can't stand the 13 week wait, but I also don't want it to be over - anyone else feel like that?

We have the banns 6 weeks back to back too!!!!

and that is exasctly how i feel - i am loving (nearly) every minute of the planning, and can't wait for the big day to be here, but i don't want it all to be over either!!!! goodness knows what i'll talk about after its all done....babies hopefully ?

Hi There!

I think we have done everything now, ordered our favours last weekend and they have come already! Its exciting getting all the last details ready and cant wait for it all to come together.

We are getting married on 7th May and have been planning for nearly 18 months. I was feeling like it was dragging as had been super organised but since Jan came I dont know where times going!

I know what you mean about it being over, I think its a bit of anxiety hoping all your planning comes together and the day goes smoothly but then I really need a holiday and are of to the Maldives the next day! ?
