Getting a bit worried that our chosen venue will lose the date we want, but we can't book it until we visit in May (can't get there sooner), Also registrar has limited availability for the days available, and the photographer we reeeeaaallly want is bound to get booked up.

Hey, we only decided in Feb to get married in July 08 & have organised...well everything inside 8 weeks!! So you have loads of time!!

? I'm 29th august too!

We have booked;

Venue
Church
Photographer
videographer
Cars
string Quartet
Decided on flowers (just trying to find the right florist)
sent save the dtes to family who live abroad.

Can't the venue and photographer 'hold' the date for you until visit and decide on the venue?

Where are you getting married? You said the registrar has limited availability but in our area they won't even take provisional bookings more than 1 year in advance! Such a nightmare as we have had to confirm the venue and pay a deposit so I'll have to be on the phone first thing on 18th July this year with everything crossed that we get the time we want for next year!

No, apparently they've changed it this year to 2 years notice which is fab (only found out when I was talking to the venue)

We're hoping for a hotel we've seen in the lake district...going to try and get OH to take me before May, will just have to be a weekend thing (we were going to go for a few night with the kids in 1/2 term)?

id="Comic Sans MS">id="blue">We arent until 2010 and we have:-

Venue (for both Ceremony & Reception)
Save the dates
Invites
H2bs Kilt
Mens Buttonholes
Ring cushion
Garter
My dress chosen
Bm Dress Chosen
Flowers Chosen
Table centre Pieces
Mine BM & Fg Tiaras
Rings
My Jewellery
Favours
Band
Dj
Cake Chosen
And some other little things

Jeeze I think we need to slow down with the planning??

Have any of you summer 09-ers sent your Save the Dates yet - I have mine all ready to send and a couple of people mentioned yesterday that they thought it was too soon and I should wait until only 12 months before? What do you all think? If we have it all booked now (not like the date is going to change) then I don't see why not but maybe I'm just being a bit keen?

We're not until 2010 and we are expecting our save the dates to be deliverd either toda or tomorrow so we were thinking fo just sending them out once we have them. Like you say you have it booked so the date isnt likely to change.

Were september the 19th 2009 got our ceromony venue booked and hopefully we will have our reception venue booked next week when h2b comes home on leave from the army.. everyone seems soooo organised aaarggghhh!!?

Nuffink apart from the country we're having it in and the date...it's still far to early to be doing all that. I could grow 6 sizes bigger before September 09!?

We're the 8th August and so far we I have:
Booked venue for ceremony and reception
Booked photographer/videographer
Bought my dress
Bought 5 BM's dresses
Got all flowers/wands (silk)
Provisionally booked registrar
Got my shoes
Waiting for holiday company to release price for honeymoon
Oh and must not forget got my OH and Son matching socks!!

Can't think what else...

I think i would find it a little wierd to receive a 'save the date' thing for a wedding more than 2 years away!!

I would not have a diary to write the date in!! I think sending them out early in the year of the wedding is more rational - thats still going to be 5-8 months notice for people!!

Just going with the flow really - im quiet a worrier so out of choice have not wanted to leave things till the last minute!!!

Begger all ?

I'm on 22/8/09 and so far have:
Booked the church
Booked the hotel for reception

I've started looking at prices for other things but I can't really be bothered. It's too far away and it will drive me nuts if I have to spend the next 18 months doing wedding things.

Same I'm 27/6/09 and I've booked the venue (same for all bits of the wedding) and registrar.

Just enjoying thinking of the rest of the things needed and getting ideas before making final decisions!

Vow renewal on our 10th wedding anniversary on the 6th August 2009.

Nothing actually booked yet though we do have a venue in mind, I am photographing a wedding there this May so am going to wait and see what it is like as an actual wedding day venue before commiting.

I cant believe you have so much sorted out this early on!!

i would hate to think that there is another year of new designs for things to come out and you cant have them due to already choosing.

my ideas changed so much over the last year.

?)]I have my dress (bargain thanks to e*bay otherwise I wouldn't have it so early!
?)]And a few little bargains I have picked up along the way (favour boxes, favour decorations, Table name holders, mini photo frames for place cards)

Other than that dont have any other BIG things done either yet?

Still plenty of time though (I hope!!)

WCsS really. The thought of spending from now til next August planning really bores me. I can't be arsed with it and would rather do other things with my free time ?

Very true CD!!

wouldnt want it taking over your life now would you?
