Ok much swapping and changing been going on in the last fortnight, we went from small family meal to a 50 seated day guests package, that thencause arguements where i took friends of the invite list to put mil2b on, but coz i couldnt fit them all she was second class again (so NOT true)..... anyways me and james got angry and said we just want the wedding, so if ppl want watch they can come but not having anything after.... (expect on sat a big buffet party for all)

BUT........I WAS THINKING!!!!!!

I dont want walk out of the reg office and say, ok thanks for coming bye, so thought we could get my moh to bring 2 bottle of champs, and a cake to have a toast and cut the cake in the little gardens near the reg office, (but its gonna be a secret so husssshhhh) James said yea, if i want, he also said what about a surprise meal but i said his mum will think i told my family and before so they would come (which wont be true) so thought that wasnt such a good idea.......

What do you think of champs and cake in the gardens tho???? Yea or no..... any other ideas???

*edit* to put mil2b friends (10 of ) on, not her herself!

I think it sounds lovely :o) nice way of celebrating with those that are there.. I like james' idea too, but as you said if mil is that much of a pain probs best not x

sounds good hunxx

ta ladies....

i thought of that steffi but not sure, i mean i might look abit tight, like i want a big wedding but dont want pay for it, then my cousin said what if mil paid for her friends, but then that means i would have to let aunties pay for cousins and there is far to many to start that.

I was thinking tho about doing it this way the ppl we care about and care about us will be the ones who come to watch, with a promise of nothing after..... whilst mils friends prob wont

James asked if i would regrete it, but i dont think i will, coz its different, i think it could be quite nice, also i think i would regret paying for mils friend to come but not my own more

But your still doing the party on the sat, if people dont wanna come o the meal thye dont have too...

usually restraunts will rope of a section for you (im lucky with the amount of guests i fill the place lol) so u wont have the usual customers where u are if your not sure what people will think u could always put a status on the book of face like i did n see what people put i just put were considering booking a resturant and everyone paying for their own meal so everyone can have what they want would any have any objections to this and i got floods of replys saying they loved the idea

i really like your idea of having champs and a cake in the gardens afterwards it will be lovely and a nice way to celebrate. xxx

it would be personal to you and would be something completly different. x

sounds really nice.. not a stupid idea at all! xx
