So Relieved!

FizzyPixie, 23 April, 2015 at 14:20 Posted on Planning 0 10

I could do a happy dance but I'm in work.

Our wedding was getting out of hand with people doing the "you must invite so and so" and "but you must make sure you..." thing. It was just too much so we've cancelled it. Reception venue, caterers, bar, cars, DJ, band. All cancelled.

We are having the ceremony mid week and then taking our guests to a local restaurant for dinner. I'm still wearing the big frock but everything else will be small and personal. With added dinosaurs and pom-poms.

So relieved I just had to share.

    Good for you ! It takes some guts to make a stand and do things your way. There would be nothing worse that going along with things just to please other people. You will be doing things your way on your day !!

    Thanks all!

    We decided last night and then slept on it. Best nights sleep for a while!

    Everyone has been lovely about it so far. xx

    Wow - good for you! I remember similar conversations where people gave me their (sometimes uninvited) opinion about who to invite, but my OH and I came to an amicable agreement (eventually!) though it was the most difficult thing we've had to sort out so far.

    We did the same!

    We'd been planning for 2 and a half years, then 6 months before we cancelled the lot. Huge weight lifted!

    We've scaled plans right back too and will now be enjoying a teeny tiny ceremony and weekend away with our nearest and dearest.

    I'd love to know how you're including dinos ?

    H2B is a designer so he created a cartoon dinosaur called "Steggy" who will grace all of the invites.

    We've got pastel stretchy dinosaurs as place settings/favours and they'll be nestling between the pom poms on the tables.

    And dinosaur cake toppers.

    So we've kept the daft "us" stuff but lost the drama. Keep skipping with joy.
