Hey Girls - hands up and I had completely forgot about this thread and i am rubbish at bookmarking!

11 weeks and 5 days (82 days sounds further away lol)

Well im nowhere near ready and im now very panicky and stressy. No timings for all the things before ceremony commences yet but im hoping its done this week.

Cancelled Hen as noone seemed interested plus my mum now needs to have spinal surgery in Feb so I just thought id minimise the hassle and worry for everyone.

Hoping to book Spa at the venue for the day before the wedding for a Spa/Afternoon Tea for just a few of my family girls.

Going to see my dress next week so I can remind myself what its like then I need to shake a tail feather and buy accessories, shoes, underwear and get appointment made for alterations.

Keep looking at my To Do List and feeling

Rocketqueen I feel your pain with the hen do and still having lots to pay. Getting married on the 2nd, getting really nervous now!! x

You're so lucky! I'm trying not to be involved, but when other people are making my CB feel like crap, I dont think its fair

Aww thats nice :) my CB is my BiL2B's girlfriend. She's worked where I work for about 6 months now and sort of knows everyone, but cos she doesn't really know many that I've wanted to come, I think shes holding her tongue. We have 8 coming to the afternoon part (whatever that turns out to be) and a few more for a meal and clubs, so hopefully it'll be brilliant!

When are you having yours? x

Got my first dress fitting tomorrow! x

My MoH is planning my hen night to be a complete surprise! All I know is that it is on 31st March.

Catbud I want to get my fittings up and running asap - we're getting married the week after you. So excited to see our countdown go to 99 days today! I want to try and lost at least 1/2 a stone before my fitting though, and we're not near my boutique until Feb so fingers crossed! Xx

We have paid a few more bits off this week - paid for all the chair covers and sashes, some disposable cameras, wedding insurance, travel insurance, centrepieces, bits for the sweet table. We chose some drapes for venue (which we weren't going to have) and on Monday we are buying the rings.. so feel a bit more organised now.
Our deadlines are mid March which is causing some panic, as there's only 2 paydays until then eeeeek.

My sister is MOH and is organising my hen - originally it was a good friend but I think it all got too much for her and recently she handed duties to my sister who lives 100miles from me so it's been a challenge for her to organise. I get the odd text saying so and so can't come etc which stresses me! I know it's the 23-25 March and I know we're staying in Birmingham. I had said I wanted a spa day but I think it became too expensive for most. To be honest I am wishing we just had chosen a nice lunch to avoid stress!!!

Been off work for 2 weeks and back in tomorrow on a nightshift :( means wedding planning will slow down once I'm back on the nights.

Lisa123 well done on your weight loss!! I have lost 3lb this week which is fab, but I need to gain some muscle as I have a bit of skin on my bag overhanging when I put my dress on - so need to tone up! It's not fat as there's plenty of room. So annoying. Also want to tone up these bingo wings!!
Munchkinpie - under 80 days?? Exciting!! But I imagine it's scary also.

Sounds like everyone is getting there! :0)

H2B called the church this week to confirm the final amount. We thought £300 and they said £392!! The organist and some other random charge that H2B couldn't remember. Luckily we had £200 'spare' in the wedding saver so that will cover it.

91 days for me. So excited!xx

thats fantastic rags, its a great feeling knowing that you got a very good deal. i saw my dress in a bridal store just before christmas, about 10 miles away from where i live and got mine, and it was more than £300 what i paid, that made me happy.

its now 3 months to the day that we get wed, where has the time gone, and hopefully the next 3 months will pass just as quickly.
so excited for my hen next week, brought supplies of paracetomol yeasterday, lol.

xx

never heard of those pills before, will have to search for those.

march will soon come around, i have another in march too as with this one being for the weekend not many people could make it so i thought a local 1 nighter will have to be done too

xx

Hello all! I had been looking for an april thread for ages so glad it's been revived :) hit the 90 days today :)

Hi Embbem. :0) Where are you going Tinsel? xx

ooo that sounds lovely tinsel!
I don't know what we're doing yet. Got our hearts set on going to jamaica in the summer though

We're off to Tenerife the Monday after our Saturday too. Counting the calories and days! X

Rags our son is our pageboy and he'll be 4 on the wedding day. We're getting him a little teddy with a jumper on, and on the jumper it's got PageBoy, his name and the wedding date.

Silver plated is fine so long as they don't sweat or their necks will go green! We're having ours made for our bridesmaids, silver chains with a silver heart hanging from it, and a little gem/bead hanging next to it.

Our invites are *almost* all out - I need to hit the post office tomorrow and get the rest of them out.

Err they don't sweat as much - sorry I must have missed their ages! Kids tend not to perspire as much, it's to do with their ability to regulate their internal temperature...or lack thereof!

Aww!!! They should be absolutely fine with silver plated then. Bet they'll look gorgeous!
Our little man will be 4 on the wedding day and I can't wait to see him in his little suit X

morning all, i got the 1st 20 day invites out over the weekend, once my friend has finished them the rest should be out by thursday :)
we have told people that unless they used the rsvp card inside to reply then it wont be counted.

very busy week tyhis week, working all afternoon today, got make up trial tomorrow and getting nails done, getting my hair and eyebrows done wednesday ready for hen weekend, thursday i have to work a little then have both the childrens swimming lessons then friday, work all day then off to party the weekend away for my hen :)

xx

Munchkinpie. I completely know the feeling. No one in H2B family actually sent their RSVP back to us. It wasn't hard or anything. They all live near to us and we included a RSVP card for everyone. In the end we had to ring them up and ask if they were coming or not. I don't understand why people are like this for. Even his mum and dad didn't reply!

I rang a hairdresser tonight and was looking forward to ticking something off my list....shes on holiday! Damn!

I need to buy shoes - but I know what I want.

I need to bustle my dress? How do you do that? Oh well!

I need to book make up trial - I am only going to well known cosmetic counter and getting them to teach me.

And most of the time I'm ok with the wedding, but then I think what I could be spending the money on, or one of the parental people peeeees us off!

Lol Munchkinpie! I think family seem to think you will presume that they are coming.

I've been so calm and cool for the past months arranging and planning but am now starting to get stressed. H2B still needs shoes, a cravat and waistcoat. My dad still hasn't got his and my brothers suits either. When I told him that we needed the money that he promised to pay off the honeymoon by next week he was like "yeah I'll sort it" Don't tell me you'll sort it, give it to me NOW! Lol.

What do you mean by bustle your dress Rags?

Rags you could probably take it to a local seamstress and she could put a bustle in for you for relatively little? X

Yeah dress fitting this saturday EEEKKKK not long to go

i booked wedding night hotel today and going to book airport hotel at weekend too x
