Laurens Getting Married - 15th June 2013

[EmmyReece]

I seriously have no idea about presents for my mum and mil, it's driving me batty

Absolutely brilliant that you've had 2 rsvps back already

 

[Lauren25]

Thank you Emma! I'm sure all my plans are all over the place and hard to keep up with!



We've had a few people booking rooms up, online it says the hotel is fully booked for our wedding date but we get 20 rooms held for our wedding! Today my Mum rang to book and said she was with the wedding and they told her there were no rooms and she must have told them to double check and then they found some space under our name! Family friends on OHs side also rang today and they wouldn't give them a room and told them to ring back Monday! I've told my MOH to book 2moro as I know she wanted to stay so if they don't give her a room I will have to get in contact with the venue because as far as we know only 4 of our rooms are taken!​

Need some help with our sweet jars!

These are the jars we have for our centrepieces filled with sweets!

Do you think we need something on the jars ? I was thinking a stripe of patterned washi tape around the bottom but thinking that might take away from the sweets so then I was thinking just a bit of ribbon around the lid and then I've thought just leaving them!

What do you all think ?​

 

[candeur]

Personally if probably put some ribbon around it and tie a bow or something just to tart it up a bit

 

[aly888]

Oh my gosh, how annoying of the hotel. How can they be screwing up the rooms like that?!
Would it be any easier if guests booked through you and then you bulk booked the with the hotel?

As for the jars, I like them as they are. Like you say, you don't want to detract from the sweets inside. Plus you want people to know they can eat them and aren't just on display. If I was to put ribbon on them the only place I'd put it is around the top where you can see the rubber seal through x

 

[xemmax]

That's really annoying. Do they have a specific wedding coordinator you could get in touch with? Fingers crossed it's just a bit of confusion though.

I think the jars would look cute with some ribbon - like you say you don't want it to look too busy but I think some plain ribbon would look cute!

 

[Mummy May]

I also would put some plain ribbon round the top, you could always attach luggage tags saying eat me on them just incase anyone thinks they aren't for eating xx

 

[Lauren25]

Ohh I was just looking at little 'eat me' tags, great minds think alike haha.

Well I've just emailed the wedding coordinator because MiL tried booking today and they said no! As far as we know only 3 or 4 rooms! I've just put on Facebook for people to let us know if they've booked a room so we know for definite how many have been taken!

I don't even know what to do if they've given our rooms away, I'm really angry!​

 

[EmmyReece]

surely they should have given you a warning if you were getting low on rooms

hope it doesn't take long for them to get back in touch with you x

 

[Mummy May]

Yeah I would be really annoyed too!!! Let us know how that goes... And YES for the tags haha I thik our tastes are quite similar xx

 

[Lauren25]

All sorted with the rooms hopefully! My cousin (MOH) rang to book hers and they said they didn't have any and she asked some questions and they said they can only be booked in the week as at the weekend they don't have access to the bit that shows the blocked out booking! Really don't understand why people weren't told this when they rang! My cousins did say the girl on the phone sounded a bit dim so they probs don't know what their doing!​

 

[xemmax]

That's really annoying but at thank goodness you have your rooms! One less thing to worry about

 

[Mummy May]

Some people are a bit thick lol or maybe she was new?!Yey for having rooms though!! xx

 

[aly888]

Thank goodness for that!

 

[EmmyReece]

I actually breathed a sigh of relief for you there glad you got to the bottom of what was going on with your rooms

 

[Lauren25]

Haha me too! Now I just have to wait for my reply to my snotty email that I sent to them while I didn't know what was going on, woops!

I've changed my hair trial to the 25th April so OH can have the kiddies!

I won a wedding headband at the weekend for being one of the first 100 people to fill in a survey! Now I'm stuck with which to have in my hair because I already have a hair comb! Ill bring both with me but what do you all think ?

[aly888]

I think I prefer the comb but take both and see which you prefer

Uh oh, I hate that when you said a stroppy email but find out the answer before getting a reply but at the same time they should have made it clear about booking the rooms.

 

[EmmyReece]

I think the hair comb is stunning, but definitely take both and see which one you prefer

Congrats on winning the headband though

 

[candeur]

They definately should've made it clear to you in the first place instead of making you worry about it!

I think with that hair style I prefer the comb but its worth looking at both, I just thing that the front of the hair where its all twisted back is what makes it so lovely and unusual and a headband would get in the way of that x

 

[Mummy May]

I prefer the comb too and I LOVE that hair style!! xx
