OMG.....THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO!!!!

Lists are your friend

You'll find it loads easier once you've got a venue and date set and then things like your dress which influence the style of things.

Lol.....time just seems to pass so quickly!

Hope your have a fab wedding day! ?

I just hit the 1 year mark and I had a little panic!

Ha ha it seems ages away now but before you know it, it will be here! I can't believe that my wedding is weeks away, I'm not sure when it got so soon!

Re-welcome by the way I agree with lists, also I made a spreadsheet that included costs of everything, depositis paid, when things are due... OH laughed at first but it's the only thing that's kept us on track!

Wedding fairs are great for inspiration but you don't always find the cheapest suppliers there. My tip is look around online a lot, ask on here, and don't forget good old faithful eBay - God knows where I'd be without it!

Good luck with the planning, and have fun!! xxx

Thanks Natalie!

I know once I get into it I'll be fine! 3 weeks! omg you must be so excited! ?

Oh god sooo excited!! It's just crept up on us!

Even more exciting for us as OH is in the army and lived in Germany for the past 3 years so we finally get to live together soon hehe

It's very daunting at first as there's soo much to think about! but you'll get there xxx

Fantastic! Bet you cant wait!

I know think I was having a OMG there is so much to plan & PAY for this morning!

x

Ha ha definitely! We didn't have any savings when we booked, we've done a 'save-as-you-go' type wedding, and I must admit it's cost more than we budgeted for. I can't wait not to be so skint after the wedding ha ha! It will all be worth it on the day though xxx

My dad is very traditional and Mum has hinted that they would "pay" but to the extent of which I dont know!

My OH parents have also mentioned "saving up" for it! But again I'm not sure what for!

Also I really want to fund a large portion ourselves because then we can have more control.....so keen to buy my dress, his ring etc etc

Also planning a honeymoon fund instead of wedding gifts etc...we already live together so I have enough towels! ?

Ohh lovely, that's great! Our parents both put towards it but we've paid the majority, but it's great to have a helping hand

We've asked for money towards our honeymoon too! We just don't have the money for one, and as we've been waiting to live together for a long time we've bought everyhting we could possibly need for our house (except furniture!) so now it's just a waiting game to see if we get enough! So exciting xx

There really is alot to do and I sometimes get a little shell shocked with it all and have to sit back and write lists, make spread sheets, colour code and prioritise (a little ocd i know) Good luck with the planning and enjoy all the exciting decision making, it the paying and stressing and trying to organise many awkward people that is the difficult bit! ? Enjoy and welcome to hitched xxxx
