You're doing really well for a year to go. You're further one than I was at the same stage.
30th August 2014 was the best birthday ever.
It was the day that I became Mrs. Dixon.

You're doing well!
We've having pocket fold invites too but I don't quite know exactly what I want to do with them yet as I don't want to leave one side blank, but don't want it cluttered either! How have you done yours? X

Finished making all the day invitations now! Finished jazzing up a bride and groom sign:)
In the middle of customizing a post box for our lovely wedding cards.
Got the bridesmaids' earrings thanks to my nanny! also got there hair clips sorted for their updo.
Booked mine, my mummys & 2 sisters make up artist! She looks absolutely amazing!
Went and looked at my dress again beginning of this month and I really didn't like it anymore(lost weight- didn't look even the slightest bit princess) Tried on what seemed a million dresses and when id just about gave up hope a fitted ivory dress caught my eye! Tried it on and fell in love! Didn't think id ever find the one! Paid £410 pay the rest in September and get to bring it home!! Hmm will want too k1;0eep trying it on!:))
Bought 8 Jars for a sweetie Table, wanting to buy some fish bowls or something different also for sweets. Yesterday went out to Lowestoft and see this yellow butterfly napkin Holder for 99p, we bought it and spray painting it today purple of course and then use it for our sweetie table to hold the sweet bags.
Getting there slowly!:)<3

Ordered my husband2be a b@tm@n gadget tin, & a b@tm@n tobacco tin from @m@z0n on Wednesday they got delivered Friday! Going to put his personalised cuff links inside the tin, along with socks & a few other bits.
Bridesmaids tote bags are all coming together, they have a personalised dressing gown, a personalised dress hanger, earrings, necklace, nail files etc.
My mums bag hasn't got much in but waiting till after the wedding to get her a photo album of some pictures, she's also getting a thank you bouquet.
Took my dress on Thursday for my alterations, so very excited to see it on the 2nd of April!!!
