newbie!!

Hi and welcome!!

This is the place for the planning for sure! If you dont want kids there, then dont put their names on the invites. Some girls on ere had a wee spot a bother with ppl asking if they could bring theirs, but its all in or all out! and Stick to your guns!!

Again, people on here have asked for money as a gift.

As for matching colours...thats your own option. If you're not having BMs then it would make things a lot easier there!

Hope thats a help!!

Hi Kelly, welcome to hitched ? you will get some fab tips and advice here!

As its your day i think you are perfectly entitled to have what you want so if children dont feature in the plan then make that very clear on the invitations otherwise you will find that your guests will assume they are welcome.

As far as asking for money goes (dont get me started lol) again that is perfectly fine, after all you most probably have everything you need anyway

I dont think there are set rules regarding colour matching although most will try in some small way, but it is your day so do exactly what you want.

Hey Kelly, welcome to Hitched! We are going to ask our guests for donations towards the Honeymoon, we felt it sounded better than just asking straight out for money

Hi Kelly, and welcome.

We are not havign children either (well except for my OH nephews who are mini ushers) one of my best friends will have a 3 month old but even she knows that when i say no one will be allowed children i mean none. There are a couple of people who may not be able to come in teh evening becase of it but if it stops there being tears tantrums and children running all over the place then worth it.

It is ok to ask for money but personally i think it is a bit rude to ask for it outright. Asking for money towards yoru honeymoon or vouchers so that you can make a large purchase might sit better with your guests.

If you don't want the grooms colours to match your bouquet then don't, but rem they will be next to each other in photos and one of them will follow through in the colour scheme for everything else so prob best if they don't clash.

With the trouble i am havign with one of my BM's you may have made a very wise decission!!

How do n welcome to hitched our date is hopefully may 2012 too n its not that far away xxx (my ticker is for march lol)

Thanks guys, we was planning on using the money for our honeymoon and just going into the travel agents and saying right here's the money where can we go today!! never thought of mentioning that to the guests, that would sound better thankyou.

My bouquet will be fuschia pink and my h2b was ok with that but now he's had a change of mind and doesnt want that colour..

Our wedding is on a very tight budget and luckily i have found a hotel to do it half price because its a weekday

I couldn't swear to this but i have a niggling feeling that quite a few of the larger travel agents do vouchers that weddign guests can buy to put towards your wedding. I know house of Fraiser do a honeymoon service aswell as we are going to go with them and ask for vouchers towards ours ,as when you sign up with them you get a free pamper session!

What colour does your h2b want now? Rem you could always get a bit of the pink into tehir buttonholes if you were going to have them.
