Ok so plan for today ...

We're nipping into town before Chris has to go and fetch my cousin, her oh and their lo for the week. So I'm going to get a few wedding magazines, start taking ideas from them, request a few invitations brochures, maybe look at dresses on ebay

Just got back from town ...

Only managed to get 1 magazine as for some reason Morrissons didn't have any whatsoever out. So we went to co op and I managed to find a magazine

I've spotted some amazing wedding invitations, but they're sooooooo expensive, almost £100 for 40, which is just crazy, Chris will never let me spend that much

Yeah ... just about ...

My maid of honour is going to be one of my oldest mates - Emma

The Nikki - my brother's gf

Then Victoria and Yasmin, Chris' brother's gf's daughters

Then Sophie - Chris' cousin

And 2 flower girls - my cousin's little girls - Tammy and the one who's still yet to be born

 

[Scamp]

They're really sweet hun.
How many guests you having? x

 

[EmmyReece]

So far we've got 86 guests, but 20 of them are children I think, I'm sure there'll be more to add to it lol

 

[Scamp]

I thought so far the guest list was the most stressful. There were people we wanted at the main do but we just didn't have the room for. x

 

[EmmyReece]

I've tried to separate my guest list into 2 parts, the people we have to invite and REALLY want there, and then the people who we'd like there but not as much as others if that makes sense?

I need to get in touch with our 2 favourite venues to see if we can have an afternoon wedding and then just go straight through to the evening do as I'm not 100% sure whether we can afford the wedding breakfast as well.

Plus Mum would need to go home for a rest in between the ceremony and the evening do, and I don't like the idea of me sat at the top table with none of my family there
