    April don't worry about it! Everyone gets things at different times :-) for instance I've not even thought about invites and a cake topper and my partner hasn't even bothered with suits yet! Ha ha ! We have set up a monthly buying system for the smaller bits so we have it all bit by bit all saved up in a box :-)
    Nearly a year to go ladies!

    11th April for me! It's nearly less than a year away. We've booked quite alot. So far we've got:
    Church with hymns choosen and readings (I think!)
    Reception
    DJ
    Bridesmaid Dresses
    Suits
    My Wedding Dress - got my tiara and shoes too but no veil yet
    Cars
    Coaches
    Flowers
    Room Decoration
    Stationary
    Photographer
    I've found the person who is doing my make-up but haven't done a trial yet.
    My gran is making my cake so need to worry about that for now, just need to choose one closer to the time.
    I'm currently researching decorations for the church. The flowers will cost over £250 and I am NOT paying that for decorations when we'll only be there an hour.
    Still need a hair dresser but got some potentials
    Rings and Jewellery
    And to send out the invites later this year! xxx

    Got together January 2010
    Had Josie May 2011

    haha yeah AprilS61 I'm quite impatient. I like being bust and doing things and planning the wedding has kept me bust for a few months. Though I haven't got much to do now lol! It's all gone quiet now. I'm browsing boleros and shoes for the bridesmaids whilst I wait until the finalise the invites, which we'll do during half term in May. As we didn't send Save the Date cards we're sending invites 6 months in advance. x

    April 11th 2015. It felt like ages away when we booked the venue but now it's less than a year!! We have booked our venue with a package deal so that's got food etc. Dress, bridesmaids dresses, photographer, save the dates, brother in law is doing our invites, got table decorations etc too and chair covers.

    Need to book the band, sort the boys suits out and pay everything off!

    I'm such a freak I love lists haha, I have a specific wedding planning book! That's the only reason were so organised! OH will come in from work and say what are you doing now I'm between two part time jobs so I have more time to look at all the wedding things whereas Adam just wants to sit watching tele when he comes in haha. I started on the table plan when he was at work cause I was bored and had nothing to do, then he moaned that he wanted to do it so I let him type it up when I'd finished

    Thursday 30th April for me... less than a year!! Only got engaged in Feb this year. Been with my partner for 31 years and never in a million years thought he would propose!

    I've only got registrar and venue booked..... eeeekkk I better get a move on.

    I'm having a french fancy cake so just got to buy lots of boxes of french fancies and a large one for the top. I'm making my own bouquets. Save the cards will be order later today. I don't need a car as getting ready at the venue.

    Got some bridal appointments booked to start trying on dresses as I haven't a clue what I want.

    Hoping for some hints, tips and ideas from everyone.

    All I need to do is make our invites/stationary but were waiting for summer holidays before we start. I'm so bored having nothing to do! We did pay £1000 off our venue at the weekend though, which is very good as its not due until October!

    Arghhh it's getting to that really stressy weddingy point right now.. Just want it to be over for the moment as it's doing my nut in! Feel completely unsupported by family and h2b just doesn't seem bothered right now all I get is "oh there's plenty of time left" You've been saying that for over a YEAR now buck your ideas up sunshine! Also had no positive attitude from my wedding organiser at the venue what so ever which is winding me up. Surely they should make a bit of an effort if you're paying them 5000 for the pleasure.
    Still not 100% sure about my wedding shoes as I'm not used to heels! Any tips for walking in them much obliged.

    Sorry for the little rant..

    Hope everyone else's planning is going okay.

I'm getting married on 18th April 2015, kept thinking I was too organised and had ages to wait but after reading all the posts I know I'm not the only one completely excited!! Quick tip for heels, to wear in your shoes I have been advised to wear them doing the ironing! X

    Oh that's annoying Rachel.

    I'm not that great in heels either tbh. I'm tall enough without them so I very rarely wear them as I hardly go out and I feel silly when I do because I'm too tall.
