Who's around today then.....update me on your wedding plans!

bec84, 24 August, 2009 at 09:47 Posted on Planning 0 22

Not been on that much recently, so trying to catch up! There seems to have been loads of weddings recently!

I'm going to start my packing today - I've now got everything (I think!) so I need to stop looking on ebay for more things to buy! Just bought H2B some camera cufflinks as a little joke, as well as some socks for both our dads (again as a joke present! I'm not that twee!)

Whats everyone else up to? x x

    I'm about! Just printed off our menus and table names, about to forward the OOS for my Dad to make some extra copies. Getting excited, especially every time I see my good luck thread! ?

    Last day at work tomorrow!

    I'm kind of about.

    12 days to go for me. Started boxing everything up for the venue yesterday, it's amazing how much stuff I've accumulated ove rthe last 7 or so months, thanks god we have a couple of spare bedrooms!

    Need to print off order of service this week, which means I need to decide on the entrance music. Also need to write list of instructions for ushers etc. who are starting to get nervous that they son't know what to do yet.

    Made thank you cards for the BMs and ushers at the weekend.

    Most importantly we have my work drinks on Thursday and his on Friday - woohoo!

    Still not excited yet though!

    I keep flitting between excited and terrified - I keep getting really emotional reading reports / looking at pics / generally thinking weddings!

    We fly in 7 days, but wedding isn't for another 2 and a bit weeks. just can't believe how quick its come round!

    I bet it'll be really nice to have a good week in the sun relaxing before the actual wedding Bec.

    Do you all fly out together?

    I've been very productive. I've finished the outside of my wedding invites, just the inserts to do. But even more pleased with my bridesmaid's gifts. I opportunistically spotted them at Clarks Village (a discount factory outlet place); went into the wedgewood place and came out with two Vera Wang lead crystal perfume bottles. They're really cute and had a wopping 75% off! What a bargain!

    Last day at work tomorrow. Got to give everything to the venue on Wednesday and do a manic clean of the house Wednesday and Thursday. Thursday night is the rehearsal then we're off down the pub. Everything will be done Friday so we're thinking of going to the beach and playing some crazy golf and then getting nails done in the evening.

    Chocablock but it's going to fly by. How are your plans coming along?

    This is the invite without the insert yet. The lettering was very tricky to get straight!


    This has wording going round; love, embrace, passion, desire. V. pleased!

    I'm here, last day at work is Thursday and I think I'm as organised as I can be, there's still a few little bits to do but most of my to-do list centres around sorting out the house/getting in shopping etc for my family arriving next Tuesday.

    Not much doing with me - do have ages to go! Went to a wedding on Sat and they had lovely blue hydrangeas - strong possibility I will use them too!

    Currently looking at honeymoon quotes, thinking about Save The Dates, website and booking accommodation for our wedding night.

    Dont suppose you have a pic of the flowers? I am probably having blue hydrangeas as my colour scheme is royal blue and with those I could have diff. shades of blue. Ive got a few months yet as well, but gave notice on tuesday so have officially booked the registrar now! Also had the first meeting with our florist who is a friend of a friend. She is not yet qulified, but was quite impressed with her ideas and the fact that she liked a lot of the pics I had cut out of flowers! Going to take her to our venue on friday so she can have a look at the set up, and they will be laying it out for a wedding which is good as I love seeing it with the tables ande verything out, makes it look so much better.

    Made 15 outsides of the invites, and going to experiment later with printing out the insides now the registrar is confirmed. Just going to pout basics in the invites and then send a letter as well with all the rest of the info on.

    Oohh wedding night hotel... I need to look into this as well.

    We're looking at venues next week but at the mo only have one booked in. Oh joy!

    Can't get my fella to make his mind up or even think about what he wants.

    Not in a weddingy mood at all!

    Thank you!! oohhh they are pretty. I am a little worried though as my dress is almost a cream colour than ivory and I am not sure how well that blue would go with it. I do like those though, very summery and such a lovely shade of blue.

    Good evening ladies. Nice to see you Bec.

    Amethyst, I had a nose at the wedding pics on FB, looked very lovely. Did you get any tips apart from the flowers?

    We booked our wedding cars this weekend. Next on my list is a DJ and honeymoon. x
