Wedding Forum - August 2015 Brides unite ;)...

My friend is taking me to see Sam smith as a hen day. I'm so excited we will be having a night away as its in Glasgow and its in March so not long to wait,

I've been on my low cal diet for 2 weeks now and lost 6kg so now I've dragged the exercise bike out so It may help and I get to watch my soaps while doing it. I don't want to lose to much just look better for engsgment pics and wedding day. I've also been testing my make up products as I'm doing my own make up. Glad I did as the moisturiser brought me out in a rash.
I've been decorating up large jars for church candle as I wanted a candle lit aisle but just noticed the aisle prob won't be wide enough so back to the drawing board as to where my jars can now go.

Appy Is sam smith playing at the Hydro? do you live near Glasgow?

I love the O2 Academy, its a more intimate venue that the likes of SECC (I live in Glasgow so spoilt for choice with gigs etc).

Do you have hotel booked? if your staying overnight

Woohoo my hen is going to be 8th JUly and its a dancing through the decades tribute night with dinner for £30, Ive sent out 50 invites but know not everyone will go as some of our friends/family live miles away and its costing a fortune for the wedding so undersatnd they cant do the hen the month before too but im hoping about 20 people go.

I just got the email from the hotel this morning telling us the dates hoping to book it next week sometime :)

Oooo how exciting Elizabeth

Yeah Elizabeth she's booked the premeier inn for the 2 of us.

Future Mrs hurren - that would be driving me insane luckily for me h2b has small family so did the guest list myself

I was going to suggest the PI as its so close to the O2,

Appy I will be seeing my florist once more before the wedding, she said to arrange a date 1-2 months prior to the wedding. I imagine it's just to confirm you still want the same thing & to freshen her memory of exactly what you want.

I think I'm finally happy with my DIY invitations, I'm going to ask H2B's mum's opinion (she's very honest) on them this weekend & if she approves I will be printing them all off :)
Here they are, with info blanked out.....................What do you think?

Well we have finally sorted our 40 initial day guests out however I can see about at least 8 of those being unable to attend and we have hardly any back up guests.

we need a minimum of 70 for our venue but we currently have 91 (Including 5 children but SIL say 3 nephews aren't going) and we know a few other wont go either we don't know if we will bump up eveing guests or just go with what we have during the day umless it falls below the 70 we will bump up the evening guests (If that makes sense)

We've booked for 60 ppl but I know about 13 of them are likely to turn around and say they can't make it so I have a reserve list of people to take their place which is why I am pushing for for RSVP responses by the end of June so they can take time off if they want to.

Oh how great would a magician be, is it one that does a magic show, or will they go round the tables at the meal time?

I think I'd have him for the time between the meal and for when evening guests first start arriving. We have live music during the meal and a band for the evening, so don't want too much going on then. But think it will be nice to have him going around during that in between time. That way some of the evening guests will get to see him too.

He will do close up magic

Oh I'm in the same boat, 40 is our day guests number and there's an issue with a few I doubt they're going to want to travel so I'm guessing they might be a no, im starting to worry that'll seem really empty and that there won't be much of a 'party' atmosphere later with such little people!
Lovely invites Mrs robson2be can't believe you've made them yourself! They look v professional!
Elizabeth I gave up with shoes as I liked the flat sparkly Jimmy choos too much an nothing compared! So these plain rainbow ones were £16 on the bay and then the lovely lady at lacedinvintage tiaras on the bay made these clips for my shoes I sent her a pic of my shoes an my dress an asked her to make something to fit in!

I got my shoes ages ago, long before I even got my dress. My colour scheme is mint green (although its now a darker shade then I originally wanted) so i bought mint green shoes. I took them around my MIL2B's house & she was like "Oh your not wearing bridal shoes" so now I'm not sure, especially since there not the exact colour of my colour scheme.
So I've come to the decision that if I see any that I love at a reasonable price, I will buy new ones. The only ones I love are the Arun@ s3th butterfly shoes but at £600 that's not going to happen :(

We've got 96 people invited for the whole day (no extra planned for the evening) & going by word of mouth they are all coming, I'm not looking forward to all of those people staring at me as I walk down the aisle.

Ooh love the rings Sprucey!

Gorgeous ring Sprucey x

MrsRobson, I wouldn't worry about them not being bridal shoes-but maybe a little more concerned about the fact that they're not going to fit in with the colour scheme


Lovely rings

Love the ring Sprucy! Mines is similar but no diamonds :)

Also in regards to people that you think might not be able to make it. I've made a "reserve list" for people I will promote to day guests should people originally invited cancel. Can you do the same thing?

Love the ring sprucey x

Offt men are idiots. what is he missing?

I'm not sure about that, our paperwork said that we shoul check the license is valid for a period of one month past our wedding date, I not sure why though. I would think most venues would renew there license without any issues tbh

Well we have given notice, was easy peasy!

The poor couple in front of us didnt have as much luck tho

:)

It seemed that she hadn't got some paperwork she needed, they were talking to her in the waiting room. They advised her to contact the hospital where she was born??? Poor thing gets married next month and I think she was pregnant too x

Oh dear mrs H. Glad you're all sorted though x
