Exactly - you sit down where you told or you dont get fed - simples :)

There are so many people out there who will tell you
what you can't do.
What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

Our seating/table plan is going to be a NIGHTMARE with 150 people :(
- CommentAuthorKate4
In theory eh Nic?

Oh wow! Will you and your sister agree on it all do you think?
- CommentAuthorJill
What is it about weddings, it should bring out the best in people and but does the complete opposite! I'd never be bold enough to tell someone where I should be sitting whether I thought differently or not (which I wouldnt anyway)... it amazes me that people think they've got rights with regards to other peoples weddings, gets right on my nerves! x

Cant wait to be Mrs D!

Me too, we went to our friends wedding and were sat with h2bs ex, who is horrid, i would be happy if i never laid eyes on her again, but i wouldnt dare say it to the bride

Oooh that's bad planning by the bride!
- CommentAuthorgemsy
Hopefully we will. We have agreed on everything so far so should be fine. Theres bound to be something we have to comprimise on though :)
- CommentAuthorfiona
Im dreading trying to do the seating plan, I stressed enough about the top table.

Whats up with your top table fiona?

I've done a rough version based on who I think will come. If some of the people I'm not expecting to come actually turn up then I will have to re do it but think it's more or less ok!
- CommentAuthormrs_houghton_2012
love the baskets :) Im just looking over things now. Anybody buying disposable cameras? found a great deal on them. Will put the link on my wall xx

Got with the most wonderful man on 1/09/05
Got engaged to my sole mate on 1/09/06
Getting married on 1/09/12
Looking forward to becoming Mrs Houghton!
- CommentAuthorfiona
Oh's parents & my dad don't get on, and my parents got divorced years ago and also really don't get on. But we both want our parents at the top table so not sure what to do.
- CommentAuthorNicsquared
Way to organised smarties lol

hey mrs houghton 2012 - useful link, i just figured everyone had digital cameras now so wasnt going to bother

Thanks! Yeah I got some on the bay pretty cheap for the kids to use. I keep forgetting I've got them as I gave them to my mum to store. Think I might have to make a wedding inventory and record where everything is! Using mil's house for storage too. Things might get forgotten!
- CommentAuthormrs_houghton_2012
Yes thats true. I'm going to leave a note with the cameras to say that we want fun pictures from each table. x

Haha it's a cross between being ocd and avoiding my assignment!
- CommentAuthorgemsy
not sure how we will do top table. My parents are divorced. Mum has a partner and dad doesn't. H2B parents are fine and still married, My sisters H2B parents are divorced and both have re married so could be very interesting hmmmm. Need to think this one through very carefully. lol
- CommentAuthorJill
I've had great fun with the table planner on this although it's been done over and over again so currently I've got the tables there, top table filled and the rest blank x

That's a very difficult one gemsy. Sweetheart table?!
- CommentAuthorgemsy
Sorry to sound stupid smarties but what is a sweetheart table? thanks :)
- CommentAuthorKate4
Just for the wedding couple(s!)
- CommentAuthorKate4
Have the four of you together then split the parents up on separate tables. They can host a table or something?
- CommentAuthorgemsy
Thats a really good idea. Im gonna see what the others say x
- CommentAuthorNicsquared
I picked up my BM jewellery today and bought the gifts for the mothers :)
H2b is sat redesigning our favour bottle labels and im about to write my list :s

We have gone for olive trees - i wanted something that will last

- CommentAuthorKate4
That's a good idea. I want to get them the same thing and I couldn't think of a gift that would suit them both. A tree would be lovely.
So far I have giant minnie mouses/mice(?) for the fgs, aftershave for h2b so he has a special scent for life (lol!) and have my eye on a necklace for my bm but it's in a jewellers in my home town so will have to pick it up when I next go home.

Struggling for the men but that's h2b's job really. I'd like to get my dad something as he's making the cake, but I'm a bit torn. If we present him with a gift during the speeches, fil will be the only person not to get a gift. But he hasn't made the cake! I could give my dad a gift in private, but I wanted him to get recognition. Hmmm. Perhaps I could thank him during speeches anyway.
Same with my brother. Both mine and h2b's are ushers, but mine's done the stationery so I want him to have an extra gift but might have to do that privately too and just say a special thank you during the speeches. Trying to please everyone is hard.

In other news, today we booked the hotel for the San Diego part of our honeymoon, the rest's been booked ages but we ran out of money to book San Diego til this week. We were booking for three nights when we checked our flight dates and it's actually four nights we needed! An extra day of hol that I hadn't realised we were having, score!
- CommentAuthorNicsquared
We are giving the four sets of parents the trees but putting an extra gift for my mum and h2bs dad in their rooms as they have helped out so much where as the others havent been that interested.
It does start to get quite political :s

Theres lots you can do for trees/bushes, fruit trees, lavender trees, olive trees, rose bushes....

Bonus on the extra holiday day :)

I'll do the private gifts then for my dad and bro and give the trees as a joint thank you to the parents.

Oooh great idea, thank you I will investigate next time I hit a garden centre - is that where you went for yours? Have you bought them now?

I know it's exciting extra day. It does mean we come home on a Sunday not Sat so i will def need to book the Monday off work if not longer!
- CommentAuthorNicsquared
I got them from the range, they have just opened up a garden centre bit in the one near me - very reasonable

I think we get back on the saturday, so have sunday off before going back

Hmm we don't have a range but we do have a few similar places i'll try.

Are you off to Kenya straight away? We go on the 3rd.
- CommentAuthorKate4
Ooh this might be a daft question, but is there a gardeny reason why you bought them now? To let them grow before Sept or because you wouldn't be able to get them nearer the time?
- CommentAuthorNicsquared
We go on the second - got a lift to heathrow with my brother!
I think we will be exhausted when we get there

The diy shops normally have then quite reasonably, we just saw them in the range and there were 4 so we just got them, i wanted them all to be the same

Nope, you can get them all year as far as i am aware - just trying to get a few bits sorted as i want to reduce the stress :)

- CommentAuthorKate4
Ah that is quick moving!

I think I might have to buy them and ask a friend to mind them til Sept as my mil is round all the time and will see it! Marks' have a few online which have given me an idea of what they look like as I wasn't quite sure! I like the idea of lavender trees as my mum's v keen on lavender, always trying to get me to plant some but h2b not keen.
- CommentAuthorKate4
Ah ok good to know! I agree I want to stagger the costs as much as I can and get a gift per month!
- CommentAuthorNicsquared
I'm sure i saw lavender trees in the garden centre - they are really reasonable too - the ones in the range were less than £10
I love lavender but my mum doesnt and fil2be has about 10 lavender plants so not sure they would appreciate another
Shame as they would have fit in with the colour scheme lol

Ah fab will shop around then. Nice to have an idea finally!

Talking of gifts, will you be getting the hotel co-ordinator, photographer, florist etc any thank yous? H2b says they are getting paid, which is true, but if they do a good job I'd like to say thanks. Bottle of wine or chocs or flowers (not for florist!) maybe?
- CommentAuthorNicsquared
I wasnt going to - but then we are on our 4th wedding co-ordinator and our photographer is male (and costing a fortune)
In all honesty it hadnt crossed my mind....
I'll add it to the list lol

- CommentAuthorKate4
Hmm maybe i'll decide nearer the time, based on our final meetings with them! Our photographer is a guy but very reasonable and lovely. Our co-ordinator is great and the florist is a sweet little lady so I'm edging towards it but it might be a week before decision!
- CommentAuthorNicsquared
Good plan!
Our photographer is lovely and so are our florist and cake maker, our wedding co-ordinator is efficient

- CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
i can't make my mind up for the mum's

got the dad's individual personalised glasses, my dad got a pint glass and OH's dad is getting a crystal gin glass

i love the idea of sock bouquets but i dont think they will be appreciated. really dont want to get flowers as they die too quickly

might have to get my mum a miniature pear tree u grow in a pot but OH's mum aint got a clue she's got nearly every tree going!!!

Im with you on the flowers, i dont mind getting them but i want to get them something to keep too
How about a really nice photo frame or a vase?

i dont want to get photo frames just because they will be getting photobooks of the wedding

not sure about the vase as they get them for birthdays

i think i will have to have a real think about what to get, and also google it lol

Evening! Ah Nic, as soon as I got the mums sorted the girls go to pot! Never mind sure I can fix something up.

My envelopes came today. I am super excited and have got my special pen ready to write them, but seeing as the invites aren't printed yet I should probably wait!

I also got my flower girl to try on her dress and it'll fit perfectly by Sept which is good. She loved it and looked so cute :-) I have to swap the other dress I bought for an age 5 though as the girl is a very big 2 year old and the 4 was a bit snug! They are tiny dresses and she is very tall!

I also need more ferrero rochers. I had some bought for sweet tree at a really good price but this weekend..... I ate them

Haha smarties you made me laugh with the chocolates!
My abroad invites were posted today the rest are going second class tomorrow! Guess its official now :)
- CommentAuthorNicsquared
He he, i have 4 packs of rochers and I havent touched them :D

My little flower girl finally tried on her dress, it looks like it will fit :)
She kept refusing to try it on, but she was playing princesses so her mum took the opportunity and they played bridesmaid princesses :)

I've already had to box up the sweets and take them to mil's in a strongly sellotaped box so I can't eat them. Had to replace 4 bags of haribo! Oops! Will replace the rochers and do the same with them! No willpower whatsoever.

Exciting fiona!

Mine was so excited about the dress as I was pulling up in the car she was in the window screaming 'it's here' about the dress! haha!
- CommentAuthorNicsquared
Oooh exciting fiona - invites do make it more real!

I have total willpower or no willpower, if i opened the box they would be gone in secs
