Marie, we all have meltdowns every now and then. I'm not sure on the price of the bridesmaid dresses. Mine are just internet jobbys, sounds a tiny bit on the high side but I'm not the best judge.

Welcome back Kat, as Marie said the day is about the people not the price.

I'm doing my H2B a goody box on the night before the wedding, It will have new toiletries, cufflinks, socks, undies, hipflask and booze, mints, tissues and I'm sure I'll come up with a few other things. Kind of like a "groom survival kit"

I was printing my invites earlier and showing my Mum them, she said you better put the postcode of the hotel on just in case and asked what it was. I said what I thought it was, typed it in and said I'll check that before I print them. Guess what I forgot to do.........Yep wrong postcode. DOH! About half are printed wrong. It was a good guess by me as it was one letter out and if you Sat Nav'd it it would take you to the other side of the main road. I could start again but I'm not going to. All the local guests can have the wrong postcode ones because they all know where the hotel is and it's on all the road signs. Silly me!
I can't even blame a hangover which is what I normally do on a Sunday!

Talking of gifts for h2bs..... Mine is a football fanatic - a Spurs fan - so I got in touch with the club and Harry Rednapp has sent a personalised letter congratulating us on our wedding day. I know he's not their manager anymore but h2b will still be chuffed. It's signed by him so it's a special keepsake. He's got his 'football wall' going up our stairs, so we can frame it and add it to that.

We went for our cake tasting on Saturday. Our friend is doing the cake for us but she wants to do everything professionally. The taster cakes she made for us were to die for. Our original design has gone out the window (lol) and we have decided on something totally different. She'll be making a mock up for us this week and sending us the pics! Never thought I'd say it but I'm so excited about a cake!! Lol

It's worth a try Teresa

I went onto the official man utd website and they have a list of contacts for different departments and one included requesting a card or letter from the team or manager from the Manager's Office. I've posted it off today so we'll have to wait and see if they reply lol

Had a couple more replies back yesterday. Most are back now though thankfully, H2B needs to chase some of his family though to see if they are coming. Some are his cousins who are not talking to each other even though they are twins, and he upset one of them recently by telling her to sort it out and start talking. Counting the numbers though we are under what I thought we would be, and we need certain amount to get the dance floor. Also one of his other cousin's replied saying they would most likely be at the evening do!!! We are not even doing an evening do so I have asked him to find out what she means. The wedding is at 3pm, food being served at 6pm, so does she mean she is coming for food serving time or after food serving time? We were told that all evening guests need to be catered for.

I did not really have much choice as the room we are getting married in is the same room we are having the reception in so had to give them time to rearrange it. I was talking about this just now with friends as we are getting married at 3 like I said, food at 6. I was going to do canapes but we have decided against them. I was doing them so that people would not get hungry in that time, but if the wedding is at 3 then they would of had their lunch and they would not normally eat between then and dinner time anyway.

I just purchased my Where's Wally costume for my hen night. Only 86 days until I get married.

Only 88 days for me!! how exciting yay!!!
We said we wouldnt do anything for the evening because I dont see people being hungry but MIL2B insisted we needed to provide food! She said she is paying for it though so Im not fussed! so at 9pm canapes will be served!

I got a call from the pattern technician at the place making my dress just to check over a few final detail before they start. It's all coming together!

Aww fab idea teresain....My hubby would know straight away lol I sound like a cat being strangled lol....

Eeeeeeek my dress is in the shop and I can go try it on this saturday... Im soooooooooooo excited!!!!

Well until I have my first lesson I wont know if I still have a singing voice has been 20 years since I sung properly other than when i'm belting out hymns in church lol

I'm very happy, managed to to get some mirror plates to put under my lanterns that we are having on the tables and we are going to add some delicate silk flowers around the outside of the mirrors, we've also finally sorted out the table plan and know where everyone is sitting now too lol x

OMG!!! It now says I'm getting married in 2 months! Eeeeeek!

what date are you all getting married in october? i am getting married on 28th and am so unorganised! it is now 100 days to go and i dont even have a dress!!!!

I'm getting married on 13th October. 89 days to go! The time is flying by now. It's very scarey!!

xx

Im the same as XTeresainLoveX the 19th of october. I cant believe its under 100 days!!! I went and calculated the amount we still need to give to our suppliers and we're way over budget!!! I dont really know how we're going to afford it. I would say we're prob about £2000 over and dont know where going to get it from.

Wow Clarabella! Thats a lot to find in such a short amount of time. I agree with RedSez, try a 0% credit card

Morning all.

Had a dream last night that we got married and afterwards I suddenly thought eeekkk we have no photos to look at as the photographer forgot to turn up!!!

I think we have more or less everyones invites back now so can get sorted on the seating plan. Still waiting on my step sister's reply, not sure if she will come. I think she will probably want to come but not her husband as he is a big willy head!

i ordered my dress last night!!! i know i've left it really late but i couldnt choose between 2 and seem to work better under pressure! i literally didnt even think about it, just logged on went to a dress and payed for it! just hope i've made the right choice! so on todays agenda - flowers! has everyone else bought dressed for flower girls yet? i have 4 flower girls all aged 2 and i want to leave it as long as possible to buy their dresses as they are growing so fast i want their dresses to fit perfectly. so far i think we are coming under budget but i havent added up all the little things and put them altogether yet, time will tell on that note...

we've saved money by getting the bridesmaids to pay for half of their dresses, they are also buying their own shoes and paying for their own hair/makeup. also we have a newly qualified photographer who is only charging £100 as it will be her first wedding! x x

Ha ha Oct12bride i bet there will be a few 'wedding dreams 'before our weddings are over! I know so far i've forgotten my veil and tiara and another time i looked down to realise i was wearing a spotted dress instead of my wedding gown! xxx

Lisa: I've put a link on your wall for an online place that does cheap flower girl dresses. They are a bit hit and miss with the styles, but some of them are lovely.

Oct12Bride86: my dress is black, it can be very taseful (no fishnet though and you definetly can't see my underwear!) lol

Lol, what if they're nice undies?
