    Hey ladies!

    was just wondering (and looking to pinch!) what little touches/special touches are you doing?

    Me and the Oh play scrabble and was wanting Mr And Mrs A or our full names on a scrabble board but it doesnt work :(
    I wanted other things such as name places in scrabble peices but we've already bought the name placement cards.
    I really want to make it personal but im really struggling.

    Are you guys having anything personal or special ? xx

    How come the scrabble thing doesn't work? We aren't sure what touches we are having yet, might steal some ideas too lol. Am thinking of jam jars with fabric covers on lids other than that haven't a clue. Going to do as much stationary I can myself to keep costs down x

    We're having sports teams as name tables (H2B is a massive sports fan). We're having readings and hymns that are very special to us and I've made all the table decorations and stationary so I think it should all feel very personal... Fingers crossed x

    we have named a star after ever guest and printed them out on scrolls as wedding favours.
    I have done all the invites, card settings, table plans etc myself and as we are doing a tour of some of europe for the honeymoon everything is lugage label shapped.
    I found mini bottles of bubbles shapped in champagne glasses and lil silver scatter decorations in champagne glasses as everyone knows I love a glass of bubbly lol

    For our vows I am giving H2B lil gifts to represent the vows I will make 2 pieces of cord tied in a lovers knot. I promise love him and remember the love that has bought us to the point in marriage and the vows we make will be the knot that binds us even when i feel annoyed or angry with him.

    A £1 coin=I will promise to share everything I have with Stephen down to my last.,

    a pair of blue lego brick cufflinks=I promise to place my trust in him as this is the building bricks of our relationship, marriage is not the end of our journey but the start and the trust we have in each other on our wedding day is what will build a strong and healthy relationship. (blue is the colour to represent trust)

    A rock=I will promise be his rock in the both easy and hard times and I know he is mine and has proven this in recent difficult times

    Football programme man city vs. spurs =I promise to respect him even when we clearly do not agree ( he is spurs me city )

    Cooking apron=I promise to allow him free access to the kitchen...he moans I never give him control of the kitchen

    Hmmm, have been thinking about the Scrabble thing??
    Do you have centre pieces or table names yet??
    You could buy Travel Scrabble and spell out the table names and they can double up as centre pieces??

    Have Scrabble tiles spelling out different words on your Wedding cake tiers.... Love, Heart, your Surnames etc??

    Glue a Scrabble tile to a napkin ring with your guests initials on??

    That's all my SCRABBLE thoughts for now....!!!

    Volunteering and charities are important to me so we are having donation tins on the bar for a charity who I have volunteered and worked for, we are getting a local community organisation to make our wedding cakes and the flowers will be donated to a local hospice after the wedding. We are having very unique wedding favours made for us (which my h2b has sworn me to secrecy about and won't even let me put on here!!). We are going to make a big poster of photos of me and my h2b to display in the bar area. We are making cards that people can write messages on and post in a box rather than a guest book and these cards will be the same design as our wedding stationary.

    For the scrabble board, instead of just your two names linking directly with each other, could you have words like love, forever, trust etc linking them together?

    ooo little miss worry! You are a little genius you!!! ooo ill play tonight! I can use the o and the e in love...
    oooo thats fab!!! :D
    Happy bunny

    Ive just bought a fab vintage mirror to put a seating plan on and im thinking of a photo display of some type.

    Ive been reading about including family and friends into the wedding and I like the idea of tables named after married couple/partners. Although oh family is split and I think it might upset the elderly generation as some havent come to terms with divorces and remarriage in their families.
    But I also like the idea of tables named after parts of "our song" - but its chris browns forever...lol and like oh says we cant call all the tables forever haha!

    I have arranged personalised cake toppers of me and h2b in our scuba equipment as a surprise for him as we werent going to have a topper, and have done a goodie box for him to have on the morning of our wedding.

    I have made up individual boxes for my mum, mil, dad, dil, 'my new husband', best man and bridesmaids to go on their place settings with things in each, like my dad's has a heart 'because I love you' a penny 'as you may need one now!', a rock 'as you are mine' a pearl 'to thank you for the wisdom you have shared' and a card shaped beer glass 'as you deserve a good drink now'. They all have different things in them.

    Our favours are going to be heart shape lollipops which my other half and I are going to make together and either ice people's names on for place settings or add name tags to.

    have you done your seating plan yet? maybe you could use scrabble pieces on that.
    for your wedding favours why not use scrabble pieces for the initials of each guest, so they know that the favour is theirs as their name is on it.
    if you had travel scrabble on every table as previously suggested, people may play with these during the night.
