    I'm getting married on 30th and am possibly the most disorganised bride EVER!!! my invitations aren't even finished yet never mind posted, still need to organise flowers cars, evening entertainment and food, mens suits, rings and god knows what else i've forgotten. Could be a stressful few months i'm thinking.

    We sent ours out a couple of weeks ago with RSVP 29th Feb- got 6 back (only one decline) but half are confirmed already as they've asked about hotel rooms!! So 40/80 not too bad- keep looking for the postman though!! :-)

    So glad I'm not the only one who hasn't got any invites out yet! Someone else is mang them for us (H2B friend who is a designer) and he promised them for last weekend, but I still don't have them!? Don't know how many times I've offered to help stick them together, but he keeps turning me down! I just want my invites finished so I can get them out!!!
    RSVP is 31st March for both day and evening which gives us 4 weeks to chase anyone up before we have to give final numbers to the venue.
    The only saving grace is that we did send save the dates out last Oct, so at least the day guests know about it!

    Zoe, I was size 10 until the beginning of last year and I walk at least 20 minutes a day 6 days a week but it caught up with me!!!
    Probably age, will just have to do a bit extra!

    Steffi, welcome hun, if you unrestrict your page we can friend you! I had problem with my bridesmaid's dresses, mainly the price, so I'm making them but as all the summer stock starts coming in you'll be spoilt for choice! Got a colour in mind so we can keep an eye out for you? x

    Ours is 12 weeks this Sunday!! Just made arrangements for final venue and catering meetings 28th April and 19th May, hopefully going to get order of service finalised in a couple of weeks then printed, and my final RSVP date is end of this month - can't believe it'll all be here so soon, now I understand the reason for a honeymoon after all this build up!

    16 weeks away for me on Saturday, I have so far out of 84 guest 50 confirming, and 11 declining, and 23 not responded. OH is a bit stressed as we've heard that some of his family are looking into booking hotel but not rsvp yet, which to me is just plain rude, if you know you are going to attend a wedding, before looking for accomodation (there's plenty available all around our venue) you should rsvp to the couple as soon as you know if you are going.

    Personally it doesn't bother me, we rarely see them and they are not a close knit family. But this has really hurt him, he keeps saying but it's my wedding!
    I would say something to the brother but he'll just dig his heels in even more so no point really! :(

    I just found out that 2 people I put down as decline due to no communication the past few months might come, and its great news, cause one of them is family, my parents were foster family for 2 kids, and its the boy (consider him as a brother really) so that'd be great if he can come. the other one is a long time friend who is travelling in Australia/Asia, and was out of touch even with his family, but he said he's doing his best to come

    We've not had that many replies back yet :( but the deadline was the end of this month so suppose got to give ppl a chance. Just that when we get an invite we reply back straight away, why can't everyone else do the same!?

    I've still got BM dresses to sort, but doing that this Sat and H2B and his entourage are all getting measured for their suits the same day :)

    My main worry is paying everything off now, there just isn't enough time to save all the pennies! Need to pay Registra this month as they said price may go up in April so to pay it off before then.

    Also my baby brother (25 so not really baby!) is suffering depression at the moment and hasn't even spoken to anyone for 3 months, I just want him back now! In the back of my mind I keep think ing that he won't let me down and not be at my wedding (we are a really close family) I just hope I'm right.

    Whoop! My BM lives in Malaysia and since October last year has been talking about having her dress made as it'll be cheaper etc, so I assumed she knew what she was talking about - it took her till January to find a dressmaker and 2 weeks ago she finally sent me some photos of material - which were the wrong colour! We'd agreed on raspberry which is similar to fuschia, and she'd got pics of dusky pink lace :-( anyway after all that, she's now realised that to buy the material then get it made into a dress is a lot more expensive that buying ready made, so she's looking to buy her dress now - wedding is 12 weeks away!! Ironically too she liked one from Debenhams and also one from BHS (I thought she'd look in a local shop for her dress!) and she was going to try the Debenhams one last weekend for a fit, and if no good I'd have to get the BHS one and send across to her - I texted for an update this week and she replied yesterday saying something had come up so she hadn't tried it yet, and she'd go this weekend - she's so laid back she's horizontal! Anyway, heard on the radio last night that Debs had a sale on till 9pm with 25% off everything, so decided to buy the dress for her anyway and send to her - if it doesn't fit then she can send back to me and I'll return it within 28 days - bit of a round about way of sorting a dress but at least I know we're making progress on the BM dress! Just got to get her to book her flights now...

    Good luck with that bridalmiss, it will all come together for the day I'm sure.

    I've had a bit of a wedding day today..

    Ordered...
    * Ribbon for favours
    * Love hearts for favours (will get the mini cadbury chocs that are also going in our favours when I go on my hen day to cadbury world next month! :))
    * My bracelet
    * Spare ring - basically I don't want to take my proper rings on honeymoon as I don't want to loose them in Italy so I have ordered a silver band for £12. Will also wear it when I do things where I dont want to damage my real ones eg. swimming (forgotten H2bs size so will have to get him measured again before getting his)

    Made appointments for...
    * Flowers - in two weeks
    * My dress alterations - week on Tuesday

    Also ordered 2 of the 4 bridesmaids shoes last week so they should be here soon - BHS have £5 off when ordering over £25 and £10 over £50

    Ahh feels good to get things done.

    I'm going to attempt to write a plan of what else needs to be finished or maybe started lol.

    Then I can see what else needs paying for to, think I'm there with most things but just know there will be an obvious cost I have forgotten!

    Thanks Sami. Right here goes with what I think I have left to sort:

    Pay the balance on the reception venue
    Pay the DJ (this will be done on the night)
    Pay for my bouquet and order the other bridesmaid bouquet
    Pick and pay for 2 pedestal arrangements - although these will prob end up being vase jobbies
    Have my hair trial booked for 14th April - need to pay for that and pay for the hair for the day
    Pay make up lady (will prob settle this in the reception venue cost as the lady doing it is on site)
    Pick up some props for the pre-wedding shoot on 21st April
    Buy bridesmaid and flower girl shoes
    Pay for bridesmaid dressses - will do this when they have a fitting
    Suits - Provisionally booked but need to pay remainder and get my little boys suit and shoes
    Any other thank you gifts for friends who have helped out
    Underwear - know what I'm having just leaving late on in case I reach that weight target lol
    Stuff for the kids table
    Pick vows,readings and ceremony music

    I'm now slightly freaking out but I think most things are categorised together!

    Anything I could have missed?
