Productive night descisions made left right and centre eeeekkkkk

aliellen30, 6 May, 2012 at 09:14 Posted on Planning 0 7

ok so i havent posted very much yet and the wedding has been a bit in limboish me and the boy are paying for the wedding oursleves and

have been back and fourth about all sorts and last night we finally made a descicison lol We really love Downhall venue and discovered they do really good whirlwind packages that you book 3 months before the day the prices are quite good and i really really love the place (insert puppy dog eyes)

we said all along 2014 sometime so we decided to over the next yr get the dresses suits i run my own stationary business so invites and stuff i can make really quickly to get them out, luckily the boy buys me flowers a lot and the man he buys them from he has already spoken to and he is happy to go along with our plans get everything preped and done then when we feel we are ready book it because with 12 weeks to go once booked he doesnt want me to stress like mad.

just tell me honestly are we barking mad to do this???

My first ever flash is of the fab downhall

    I don't think that you are mad but couldn't work out if you meant in 3 months or in 2014. If the latter will they still do these packages then?

    It sounds like you have it all organised and if a groom alone can do it in 12 weeks on DTTB, I'm sure you and your OH can do it together! As you said lots you can get sorted months before without having a date and your venue looks beautiful! Do it! x

    I think the OP means she will get married in 2014 but won't book the venue until 3 months before to get their 'whirlwind' package. Although good point 3d...what if they stop doing this package??

    @3D yeah they offer the packages in 2014 its works that you bookthe date within 12 weeks to get the deal.

    i think its more of a when u say it our loud it sounds crazy but i think especially being able to do a lot along the way will make it easier just eeeekkkkk exciting

    Thankyou for comfirming we are not (too) crazy for planning it this way xxx

    I don't think it's mad, but you may have to prep BMs etc, as to the general month you will be aiming for etc. As long as you are organised beforehand for all the bits you can do like stationary, dresses etc, you can just organise TOG the minute you have booked the venue with date. It looks gorgeous by the way Smiley smile

    LOVE the venue and no, I don't think you're crazy... it's a great way to save money though as others have said, there are a few challenges you will need to be prepared for. In addition to making sure that you give your bridal party a heads up about the general month/date you'll have to be prepared to be flexible with the officiant and you might want to try to pick a less popular month so you guys have more options. I think 3 months is plenty of notice for guests and if you have everything else pretty much organised you will be fine!
