Hi, as a former Hitcher, I'm an oldie to this forum - strange to be back! But I know you Hitchers give the best advice! It's pretty trivial compared to other posts I'm afraid. But basically, it's my...

Hi Ladies, We are planning to spend around £3,000 / £4,000 maximum in our wedding. We live in North London but are happy to find a venue outside the city ( as long as is not too far). We know our...

We have finally started to put together our list for the DJ but now we've drawn a bit of blank. What are your party tunes that are guaranteed to get you up on the dance floor?

Hello all! This may sound unusual, but please bear with me while I explain my reasonings. I really want to hear all opinions on this though, although I suspect they may not be what I want to hear...

Firstly thank you to everyone for my good luck messages. I was very moved by some of them. Lapland has to be the most beautiful place I have EVER been and the Ice Castle made for a stunning wedding....

How many people are you inviting to your wedding? we have a minimum guest list for the day of 45 if the venue can hold more that might go up to 50 or 60 and then on a night we might invite some more...

Hi Ladies, Finally settled on a dress today and put my deposit down (well, second dress..I have one Sat on top of the wardrobe I changed my mind on lol)... It's nice and plain without being boring...

First of all I just want to say hello BF and I aren't engaged yet but have discussed how we would like the day to be. Neither of us want to spend a lot, and we want the day to remain being about us...

Hi I am desperately looking for bridesmaid dresses, I have 4 adults ranging from size 10-22 and my budget is £100 each. I don't want to order from China with all of the horror stories. I was looking...

Evening all We get married 18th june so i'm thinking now is a good time to start looking for invitations. Just wondering what time you put on the invitations? Do you put the ceremony time or do you...

Just wondering what everybody is doing on NYE. We don't have any plans at the moment so it may well be a takeaway, some bubbly and Jools Holland on TV. If it was any other year than the wedding year,...

Hi, I am thinking of buying a cookbook for my young relatives' Christmas presents. They are both either about to start uni or have just started. Jamie Oliver immediately springs to mind with the 15...

Hey everyone! Thought I'd drop by and introduce myself: I'm Becci, I live in Buckinghamshire with my partner of nearly 9 years Ben. We have a 1 year old daughter, Ellen. He finally popped the question...

I got married in May, but even before we tied the knot, I’ve always felt a bit of hostility from my now MIL. My husband proposed to me after 14 months, which his mum had termed ‘too soon’. She really...

I would love to hear people's thoughts on seating plans. How did you decide who to put where?? Obviously the top table is the bridal party and parents, and I've been told that it's customary that the...

Hi ladies, hope everyone's planning is going well. I got one of my last 'big' jobs done this weekend - my wedding jewellery. Went round Bluewater with my mum and found it in the second shop we went in...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for short/tea length wedding dresses and its proving a bit difficult, I can find photos of some online, but hardly any of the stockists I've spoken too actually have any in...
