it's all official - saying "I do" on 20th July 2013 ** venue pics page 59 **

Will have to choose someone's house closer to the time

I might arrange to have my eyelashes done at the same time rather than forking out for some expensive lotion that might not even work

 

[Scamp]

I think it's definitely worth having eye lashes done by a beautician, they look so good and natural. If I could afford it (it costs £70 at the one I go to) I'd have them done once a month. They last about 2/3 weeks

[EmmyReece]

Yeah if I had one that lasted 2 - 3 weeks, we could have the hen night about a week before the wedding

Lots of the websites I've found give a list of treatments that you can choose

Still got to figure out what to do for a hen night with mum

 

[EmmyReece]

Omg

I want one of these on my hen night

thanks hun, and thanks for putting up with me

I say plan what you like Emmy. You can always change your mind later. I would check health clubs and salons for hen packages. We went to Esporta and they did everyone some treatments and threw in lunch for a really reasonable price. We could also use the gym and pool. Didn't cost a lot at all!

 

[EmmyReece]

I've been looking into them and it keeps coming up quite expensive ... and Chris' brother's gf would be paying for her treatment and her 2 girls, then a costume for going out, transport and drinks ... I'd feel a bit guilty

But I have come across a good website, the lady does eyelash extensions for £45, and she does pamper parties too, where if there's more than 4 people she knocks 10% off

[EmmyReece]

have e-mailed the beautician lady asking about minimum numbers, whether she'd get extra staff in and a few other bits and pieces, and she has pretty much replied to me instantly.

She'd get extra staff members in so that I could invite as many people as I want

And she was totally lovely with me getting in touch with her so early as she's starting to plan her own wedding too

 

[EmmyReece]

After a lot of mulling it over with Vici last night on facebook (really not sure how she puts up with me sometimes), I'm 90% sure that we're going to do a gangster theme for the hen night

It also means that costumes should be fairly cheap - black trousers / black skirt or pinstripe if preferred, white shirt

Then I'm thinking of getting some accessories to make it more girly

Gangster Hat

Then some pink ribbon to go round the hats, not sure whether to go for ...

Plain

Or Patterned

And then some pink braces - just not sure on the shade yet

Yay for the photographer.

Hen night sounds great too but just dont pay or book any thing for your own piece of mind, in 2 years people could of had babies/be pregnant/having their own wedding/not friends any more and you may be disappointed by people dropping out.

Also sorry about the dishcloth ties! Hope C sells them for you.

 

[EmmyReece]

Can't afford to book anything yet hen night wise

We've got Turkey to book in two weeks time, that to pay for as well as save for our trip to London in december, plus christmas spending money to save, then spending money for Turkey, then it'll be onto properly saving for the wedding (though I'm going to be putting bits of money aside as and when I can)

The main people I'm inviting are my cousins (maybe my aunties depending on how things are since my brother's argument with my uncle), a few close friends, and a couple of Chris' relatives

I love having ideas in place and thinking - "yeah, this is how I can picture it happening"

Think I might attempt to curl my hair today and try pinning it up now that it's long

 

[Amy-Lea]

Also, I seen that someone said eyelashes ate £40-70. I have had those ones & they are so natural in the sense that you cant feel them on but the £10-£12 ones from the beauticians are just as good. Also get your self on groupon, it's full of beauty offers & even stuff for hen/stag nights like paint balling/golf/spas/go karting/posh lunches/meals etc. You might catch a bargain.

eyelash wise you have lots of options, I can show you all the different types on if you want as Ive pretty much had every type

 

[EmmyReece]

Ooohhh I'd really appreciate that hun as I have no clue when it comes to beauty stuff ... I'm watching as many pixiwoo videos on youtube that I can

 

[Amy-Lea]

Photo 1, is the expensive natural ones, as is photo 2 (ignore me, I have no make up on & let my mane dry naturally haha)
Photo 3 is a full set of individuals (long length)
Photo 4 is medium set of individuals
Photo 5 is a short strip set

I have millions more pictures with different types but didnt want to spam your journal with photos of my mug haha

 

[EmmyReece]

I love photo 2 and photo 4, though I have to say I think photo 4 is my favourite

Absolutely love how your hair dries naturally, it's lovely

 

[Amy-Lea]

Oh god I hate it. I used to have ringlets like picture 4 but years of blowdrying seams to of relaxed them into that crazy barnet haha

Just see what the budget is like the week before the wedding & you can either get the individuals for about £10 or the expensive ones. Are you doing your own make up? x
