    Nope she point blank refuses lol we're lucky she's coming! When we told her we were engaged she asked when n we told her Sunday 13th July next year... Her response "a Sunday? I spend Sundays in my pjs at home with the dogs" not even a congratulations! They don't agree with marriage in H2B's parents house... FIL said "I'm not wearing a suit" my response "fine I'll get you a fkin dress!" Needless to say that didn't go down great lol x

    Ch4lky maybe tel her to bring the dogs to the wedding only and keep them on a very tight leach.and after having the photos done she can take them home or drop them off to a friends house.

    With her, I doubt they'll be able to come actually inside which means she'll be spending most of the day outside n she'll have to eat out there too I guess. It's a shame but they're just not wedding people I guess x

    Still deciding on table decor (it's gonna be held in a conservatory and I'm not really sure what to use in there! Ideas for my tables would be great, pic in album)
    Need to get gifts for BM's, BM, Mum's, do we need to get dad's a gift?

    Not sure if I have left anything off??? We don't need cars as I'm staying at the venue the night before with my chief bridesmaid.

    eeek, its come round fast!
    Your cake has me intrigued ch4lky
    Im near enough done, 1 more payment on venue, 1 more payment for photographer, registrar fees, when we know what they are and everyones shoes. thats about it for me
    oh an to actually send the invites! I've found a pic of a bead bouquet online tho that im going to try and make.
    Thats problem i have now, most things are taken care of so im finding better versions of what i already have (and dont need!)

    Had a few more things sorted out with the venue today :) It's really coming together now.
    I did my day invites just after christmas because I was visiting my family in the Netherlands. Saved massively on the send cost :)
    And it gave my family the chance to book a room in time. I had put a few addresses with the invites.
    I've made the evening invites just need to sort out the printing for them. After today I finally know what time my evening reception will begin :). Knowing more about the timing has made me so much more relaxed :).
    The only thing thats worrying me is that my ring still isn't finished :(. Was supposed to be finally done 2 weeks ago but the jeweler hit his thumb with a hammer. Luckily OHs ring had arrived and was 75 pounds cheaper then quoted originally. I want to see my finished ring grrr.

    Hope everyones planning is going well. It's coming soon Ladies.

    Well our big day has changed quite a bit! No reception now, just the ceremony followed by a small picnic in the park that our registry office sits in and then we're off on our mini moon! Our first dance will probably be in the car park of some services on the M1 Hahahaha x
