Well we've invited 88. But our booking was for 75. There's room and it's not a problem if we have all 88, but money wise, we really want to be nearer the 75!
CommentAuthorKate4
I know of 2 others that aren't coming actually. And pretty sure another 2 won''t come. Then there's 2 I'm hoping won't come!
CommentAuthorNicsquared
We aimed for 60 and have 58 - we were thinking about bumping a couple of evening guests but thought we will just save a bit of money :)

Good idea. I got the 75 based on who I thought would come out of the 86, then t looked like the extra 11 were all going to come I had a panic! £60 x 11, eeeek! Think it might work out though, can't wait til rsvp deadline day to know for sure!
Family! Cousins on my side that I don't know but have to be invited....

I've had weetabix for brekkie, a small jp with ww cream cheese and a ww yoghurt so far. Am starving though.
Prob have a ww meal for tea. If I can follow points super strictly for next few days then I've got a better chance of sticking to it for next month.
In theory. In reality i'll prob get a Feast soon as the ice cream man comes round tonight.

morning!!!!! oooooo that sounds good, we are paying the venue off today (YAY!) and putting the rest of the money in the bank to get some interest on it as the rest doesnt need to be paid until just before or on the day. I'm taking my bouquet apart at the weekend and OH is finally painting the favour buckets and mr and mrs sign!!!!!
Zumba tonight for me although we might end up making napkin rings instead it depends if they come in the post or not

Good good! I feel like being good this week! I bought some honeymoon clothes at weekend and think I have more motivation to slim to fit them than I do the dress!
Mmmm menu tasting!
I have h2b's mate's w2b's hen do on Sat! Her theme is 'Cool Miami Neon Chic' apparently. I have a black dress with neon pink bag and belt. Hope that qualifies.... Other than that probably nothing wedding related.
I still need to buy gifts for the ushers and bm. May go to a big designer outlet place next weekend to see if we can pick up some nice stuff. And making wise I need to do postbox, sweet trees and sugar buttons. Am leaving the all them til as late as possible. So not a lot I can get on with really :-(
CommentAuthorKate4
Yay Lea all sounds exciting! Sure you will be able to rearrange your bouquet just as you'd like it :-)
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
thanks clare me too cos its driving me potty everytime i look at it i hate it more, my mum just said tell me what you want and i'll sort it so it should be alright i hope if not i've found some others i like i just don't think it will go down well me getting another one hahaha
I got our ushers glasses with their names on and i'll probably get a bottle of cider or beer to go with them in the gift bags
BM's have loads lol i just need to get my Cheif something special so might get her some earrings or something i need to get a bottle of sparkling rose for them each from the supermarket beginning with an A as they both love it
I'm stuck for mum's i've got them a trinket box each saying mother of the bride/groom and i'm gunna get flowers but i wanted to get them something different any ideas?

Ha well you'll only have one wedding bouquet...got to be the one you like! That would be my argument!
Ushers are going to be difficult. H2b was best man for his brother who is an usher. He bought h2b some reeeeeeeally expensive cufflinks. Now even though he is an usher for h2b rather than best man worried we'd need to get him as expensive a gift back. I don't think so but h2b is but worried. Other usher is my brother who has also designed and printed all our stationery so need to get him something for doing that too.
Got moh lovely jewellery set. And pjs for the morning! Parents, I stole Nic's tree idea. Not sure which kind but a potted tree anyway as will outlive flowers and even if it dies, they can keep the pot?!
The fgs now have ballet mouse each and a personalised beaded set from the bay. Am also going to get them a disney tumbler with a lid and straw so they don't spill drinks on their dresses!

I've done the tumblers for all the kids in their kiddie favour bags cos i was worried about that too

Have banns read in Kingland coz that's where we live and then again in Dilwyn the church we are gettig married in.
wow i get migranes, not many but cannot move for ages, you have a will of steel!
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
it was yummy i have to say :-)
I need to get our banns organised thankfully we both live together in the parish and he's been there 15 years and i've been there over 6 months so we can get them done in the same church *phew* easy to organise
i didn't zumba last night i played with my bouquet instead as i was losing sleep over it so thought i better sort it before i get even more stressed!
i hate migraines i have to sit in a dark room and sleep when i get them, i get them mainly down to stress which isn't good with such a small amount of time before the wedding!

I know i'm chuffed as it now means i'm back to my pre-Christmas weight.
Good motivation to keep going. I think I was pretty bad at the weekend, but then again other days I am very good and do a fair amount of exercise so it must even out somewhere!
CommentAuthorKate4
Wooo two more declines. Down to 86 (The 2 kids don't really count for costings, so 84 adults) 9 to go to be within budget! Wish the 9 probable 'no's would get a move on and rsvp to that effect!
CommentAuthorNicsquared
As migraines go it definitely wasn't the worst but I didn't feel great! I just thought that if I used it as excuse I might put myself on the downward spiral! I weighed in at 78.2kgs this morning ( gosh I'm embarrassed as to how much I weigh), I need to be 74.8 or less to no longer be overweight so 3.4 to go :s

Oooh well done!
We will have enough to cover everything by the time the wedding comes round with our monthly savings. Paid our honeymoon up front and paid off registrar. My parents have paid for venue . Still need to pay balance for photographer, dj, florist, hair/make up, chair covers, suits. I have a fair bit in the savings but nothing is due til Aug (I couldpay it sooner I guess but i'm not going to) and we'll have it all by then, bar the dj who gets paid on the night. We'll manage to pay everything, but just. Though to have saved this much in a year amazes me. We're usually useless!
