    i think i've bought about 3/4 - only buy the £2.99 ones though, i refuse to spend £5.00 on a magazine. I like reading about the real weddings and getting ideas. I'm going to start a scrap book of all the ideas so they will be getting cut up. x

    Yeah I rip out and glue into my folder too!

    We chose a colour scheme like the day after we got engaged. I was shocked by how simple it came to us, but I think thats mostly because H2B is so fussy that the choice to pick from was very limited!! lol!!

    I am keeping not only mags in business but prit stick too!! hehe

    I had a flick through a few an found one that is cheapish and is good for the price, so what i do is take out £10 a month, buy it and then put change in my 'wedding fund' pot! That counts as my little treat each month and i like looking at the pics! Just waiting on no 4 that should be out next week :)

    Thats an awesome idea!!! i think i might start doing that - Pick one I actually like - and put the rest of the money that I would have spent on the others in a tin!!! amazing!

    When I first got engaged in 2008 I bought them every month and ended up with a veritable pile in the corner of around 15. Some I cut stuff out of to make a scrap book, and others I just kept leafing through every night, in case I missed something, lol. But when we had to cancel our first wedding date, I threw them all away as I was so upset and couldn't bear looking at them. I haven't bought one since tbh, but want one, lol, so next time we go out shopping I am heading for the magazines! I know what I want and have bought most of the important things, but still love looking through them, you just never know! :) x

    I haven't bought any yet, but my friend's w2b has passed me hers as they're getting married in a couple of months and since everythings bought and paid for now she doesn't need them... hoping to actually buy one at some point though, have been through all of these and already cut out the bits I like for my scrap book - need new ideas now!

    One for £5. Was rather miffed as it said you get free tickets to the designer wedding show and free make up inside. It was sealed, so couldn't check but when I got it home it says inside you have a chance to win those things. False adversing alert! Also they assume you are made of money as £10,000 is considered a 'baked bean budget' and everything they suggest is soo expensive. So have been put off magazines for the moment.

    I love them ad would buy 2 or 3 every month if there weren't so bloomin' expensive! I also like the big £5 ones as the cheaper ones are a bit little, I like my magazine t show pictures large and in all their glory!!
    I haven't bought any for the last few months so may treat myself when I get paid on Monday :)

    could we not set up a 'pass on and recycle' scheme for people living near each other? My friends and I already do this for regular mags so we end up with a good selection each month for the cost of only 1 mag....
