    Got our rings last week. Slowly getting the invitations sent out. Still organising the evening entertainment. I need to get our permission to marry sorted out but no idea when OH will next have a day off work to go to the office with me. Oh and we've booked our plane tickets so the honeymoons definitely happening ?.

    I must be really busy with other things though because this is the first month since we set the date that I've passed the 2nd of the month without saying 'its only x months til we get married' to OH. Though scary to think that its now 4 months and something days for me!

    What are you doing for your favours dion?

    Think there was another thread going around recently for this topic….

    We are doing pretty well; 1st dress fitting this Saturday, venue booked, registrar booked, photographer booked, musician booked, notice given, bridesmaid dresses ordered, groom party outfits chosen and half bought, guest list decided, honeymoon booked, accommodation over wedding weekend booked. I am making the cake and the bottom tier is done already, we are making the invites as we speak, will be making all the favours and wedding party gifts in the next few months…so all in all, on track with my numerous spreadsheets and checklists!

    After months of not much progress we've had a bit of busy month finally doing stuff, we've bought the rings, bridesmaids dresses, sorted out suits, tiara, flowers, booked honeymoon & booked DJ. Yesterday I ordered shoes & favours. I'm almost sorted with invites and other bits of stationary.

    Only set back is we've been let down by the company doing our table centres but we're going to see another lady next week, so hopefully that can be sorted out soon.

    My next task over the the next week or so is jewellery for me & bridesmaids.

    I am not really having a honeymoon,just a weekend away in the north of Scotland in a nice hotel. For favours i am having little white boxes with two Belgium truffles in them ,the boxes have a little sticker with our names and the date of marriage.They are all made up for us which is great but i might add some black ribbon.

    I am trying not to think about how close it is yet! It's going so quickly.

    For favours I am having a small terracotta pot with purple raffia around it. Inside will be a small bag of compost and a pack of seeds. The pots will have tags with the persons name on one side and "plant me" on the other.

    Each table will also have a small pot of lollies and candy cane with a tag saying "eat me"

    My little nod to Alice in Wonderland!
