seating plan and other bits n bobs

Aww, yay! Love the table plan, and the dressing gown, and great news that your dress fits! And who doesn't love a pretty cake, especially if it tastes good!

What a great idea, and you get to use the table plan after the wedding! Ha

Where is the dressing gown from? It's lovely

Sorenako it's a ted baker one from debenhams...I really wanted a silk one I saw in m&s but this one was half the cost n just as pretty so it won!!

I know, not long now! (Which means you're not too far behind schwelley!)

Haha oh but it is!! You can't pretend-You'll be in the exciting month run up before you know it!!

Love your seating plan Treacle and your dressing gowns gorgeous too. It's getting so close now! ?

Hey date twin! Thanks! And I know, nearly here! I just tried to make myself a to do list of what's left but there's like 5-6 things in it and they're all widgey little nothing things! How's your final plans coming along?

What a brilliant idea for a seating plan. Very original & not seen that before.

Love the dressing gown. Might have to have a sneaky look at that myself for a bit of glamour around the house!

Love the seating plan idea, it's fab.

Just trotting off to google Ted Baker dressing gowns...

Well they have this one and a really pretty bolder pink floral one too - tough choices eh? hehe

Where did you get the things for you table plan for? This is exactly what I want for ours

We're almost there, my to do list is getting smaller and smaller too :-) It still doesn't seem real even though i know its just over a fortnight away!! X

TT & Schwelley - how are you two not married yet!? It feels like we've been waiting aaaaages! Ha.

Ooh, i just bought that ted baker dressing gown as a bday gift for my cousin!! it's so lovely. Tempted to go grab another for myself!!

i absolutely love your table plan idea too! That'll be amazing!

hi-I got it from Homesense (I love that shop!)

haha, I know, we've just been loitering on here for AGES haven't we, never actually getting married, tsk!

oo good choice, you should def go treat yourself to one too!! They've got great big floaty sleeves on them, I'll spend my wedding morning just swooping about in it!

Oh good! I did a to do list Monday evening cus I was bored n there were like 5 tiny little jobs in it, everything's basically done! ( she says, probably forgot something vital now :-S ) I know just a couple weeks left (see Ddpunk...at least I'm nearly there hah!) lots of luck with your last bits of planning

Fab table plan idea it's going to look great. Sounds like you're very organised, enjoy the run up ?

Ohhh! we had the same table plan!!!! :-)

It worked really well and the really good thing is if you have to change it it's super easy to do.

Have you already got the wooden sticks? I found it quite helpful to do a mock up. The first set of wooden sticks i got weren't wide enough for people to read the names unless they were close up iykwim.

They do some wider ones but if you're struggling to find any wooden lollipop sticks are also an option.

Also had to experiment with the pen to use as some of them didn't work so well on the wood. Once you've got the hang of it it's dead easy though.

I've still got my pots and grow herbs in them (we had heather in ours for the wedding).

Ohh i'm so excited to see your report and see how it turns out.

ah thats cool! and its lovely that you get that little keepsake after the wedding of being able to grow your herbs in them! did you plant your heather afterwards too? yeah we thought if we couldnt get the herbs we'd decided on it didnt matter cus I can just write anything on the pots depending on what we get.

We have got our sticks, we've actually got quite wide ones (theyre actually tongue depressors, but theyre exactly the same as the plant markers we saw in homebase. We saw these gorgeous little copper markers that you basically engrave onto but that would have worked out really expensive just for a table plan)- i might write 2 peoples names per stick cus 7-9 of them might be a bit much in one little plant pot but definitely will do a little practice run on a few to see...i also have a a variety of pens so i can test them out and see which writes best :-D

I did keep the heather for a long time, but we don't have a garden so it died over the winter months presumably because it was too warm in the flat.

I really like having the pots with the herbs around now. quite handy having a table plan you can use later on ;-)

Oh the tongue depressors are a good idea!

I agree it can look a bit 'sticky' with too many of them. Another option might be to write all the names on a bit of cardboard and stick that in the middle on one of the sticks? that way the names are easy to read?

It's defo worth having a play around. Enjoy!
