    Just a thought Mrshenderson2b, we was thinking the same about suits for our young boys we were in town the other day and popped into slaters who had a promotion on, we talked through everything and ended up paying a deposit on the suits but they dint want to see us again until end of june!

    if you can book through a promotion though the should hold the price...we have saved £160 and groom goes free!!

    I can definitely make you feel better. I get married in July, and as it stands, I still have yet to do:

    Write and post invites once they arrive

    book DJ

    book honeymoon

    buy ALL attendants and parents gifts

    Finish buying grooms gift

    Buy my shoes and jewellery

    Organize some kind of wedding favour!

    Arrange first dance music

    Decide on church music/reading/hymns etc

    Make order of service booklets

    Decide on hair/make up and have trials

    Book a make up person

    Organise wedding transport

    Order BM dresses/shoes etc

    get wedding dress cleaned

    make a table plan

    decide on cake design (making it with a relative)

    Plus I'm sure there's more, so trust me, you are doing very well, I however am going to creep into a corner and just have a mild panic attack... And breathe Smiley smile

    I don't want to think about it at the mo <<sits in the corner quivering>>!!

    I'm getting married in June, and whilst the obvious things are done, it's all the little bits and pieces that are still to do, in fact, need to write them down.....

    Seriously having a panic attack about this now.

    Thank you girls ❤️
