Welcome to Wedding Planning! ?

We have pulled together a few little handy hints and tips for this forum, there are a few traditions that we have going that would be lovely to carry on...

Introductions

Don’t be shy! Add a new thread introducing yourself to the group; this forum is only as good as the people in it so speak up! We don’t bite!

Good Luck Threads

There are no hard and fast rules but these are usually started by a date twin or someone friendly with the bride or groom to be in the 2-3 weeks leading up to the wedding. If you are not sure who is coming up there is a next 700 weddings list here on Hitched.

https://www.hitched.co.uk/weddings/next30.asp?whichpage=7&pagesize=50&print=y

Your good luck thread shouldn’t be read until you are ready to sign off before your wedding – if you peek early you will get spots!

Abbreviations

Sometimes the threads can be a little hard to decipher at first... here are a few of the most commonly used abbreviations in WP (Wedding Planning)

AIBU - Am I Being Unreasonable

BM - Best man or Bridesmaid

CBM - Chief Bridesmaid

ER - Engagement Ring

FPIL - Future Parents In Law

H2B - Husband To Be

HIB - Hitcher In Business

HTH - Hope That Helps

HRML - Hitched Rules My Life!

IIRC- If I Remember Correctly

IMO - In My Opinion

IYKWIM - If You Know What I Mean

IYSWIM - If You See What I Mean

MOH - Maid/Matron of Honour

N&P - Name and Praise

OH - Other Half

OM - Old Marrieds

OP - Original Post/Poster

OT - Off Topic

PIL - Parents In Law

PSA - Public Service Announcement

RAHK - Random Act Of Hitched Kindness

SIL/BIL/MIL/FIL - Sister.../brother.../mother.../father.... In Law

STD - Save The Date

(sp) - Unsure Of Spelling

TBH - To Be Honest

TIA - Thanks In Advance

TOG – Photographer

TROLL - Someone Fake On Hitched

VOG - Videographer

WEES - What Everyone Else Said

WWYD - What Would You Do

WR - Wedding Ring

WSS - What She Said

Hearts

The heart function is not used in Wedding Planning, but is in Baby Talk to highlight announcements.

Hitched Awards

These are held once a year (usually Nov/Dec), hosted by volunteers from the Hitched community.

Watch out for the announcements and the voting categories!

    Hi everyone,

    Got engaged on Monday (H2Bs birthday) and we're getting married November 3rd this year. I've been super organised as I'm off work atm with a broken foot, but looking forward to getting some tips off people on here who are all so much further along with their planning!

    Can we add a couple of "rules" to this list?

    First, that if you start a thread always come back and reply, even if its just to say thank you. Its rude otherwise!

    Second, if you write a post please don't later go back and change it. It is confusing and rude, especially if you have started an argument somehow and then change your original post. Say what you mean or don't say it at all.

    Last, if you don't like the answer don't ask the question.

    I am much fed up of these things at the moment.

    I hope that it is a best suitable option to do the wedding planning .

    Thanking you .

    The sole really should be as smooth like a baby's bum! Any carves or grooves will inform you the care and patience has not been there when these Christian louboutin shoes were made.Last and definitely not least, the signature Christian louboutin red sole. That is going to explain to you should the shoe shouts knock-off with everything you take, or maybe it's going to be your little secret (only your little secret) that you're wearing christian louboutin uk.

    Hello everyone, just wanted to say hi and thanks for everyone's input to this forum! I've been reading loads of the old threads in the last few weeks (since he started asking what size ring I wear ?) and picking up lots of useful tips and ideas already. Thanks too to those who responded to my question recently about shoes/photographs and me being taller than my OH... ?

    We haven't settled on a date yet, but I think we'll be doing the deed quite quickly, so I will no doubt be posting all sorts of questions and counting on your collective wisdom and experience to get us through!!

    Most of the people who want to get married in Thailand celebrate their weddings along the much-loved sands of Phuket, Thailand's biggest holiday resort island and a top vacation destination for tourists the world over. Phuket has all the ingredients for a perfect wedding, with its beautiful beaches providing a backdrop for a range of great leisure and entertainment delights.

    Hello and congratulations! Don't worry about feeling disorganised! You have enough time to sort everything out! You should have the ceremony and reception at least booked and sorted by now! :-)

    Hiya

    I've posted a few things on here but thought I'd formally introduce myself! We're getting married on 21 September 2012 (anyone else?!). After nearly 13 years of being together and having one daughter and various other major events in our lifes OH finally popped the question on 23rd December 2011! So a very short engagement! Well I've been waiting long enough lol!!

    Am actually quite relaxed and stress free at the moment but I'm sure give it time!!!

    Hi

    Me and Lee got engaged in 2011, the engagement was a big suprise and yes... i cried for a long time because i was so excited - i am a bit of a crier [:'(] after a few wedding conversations we have a bit of an idea what we want but we are both rubbish at making decisions so its going to be tough to stick to one decision... our colours change every day haha. we would like to be married autumn / winter 2013 (finances allowing). I am not the type of bride who has planned everything and dreamed of this day since i was 3, i am so excited but very over whelmed with what lies ahead... let the fun begin and i hope to have advice from the site as i go which so far has been great and very inspirational ? xx

    Hi all! I am brand new to this website and forum. My OH and I got engaged at the Grand Canyon just 4 weeks ago so I'm scouting this website for ideas! We haven't yet set a date or anything like that so I won't be much help to anyone yet but I'm hoping to get a few ideas for myself! ?
