Laurens Getting Married - 15th June 2013

Ooooo getting so close. Glad it's sorted but I'm like you, I wouldn't have been able to kiss and make up lol. The sweets and the gift bags look great xx
 
You're a nicer lady than me coz I would have told her to do one haha! Also I hate you, I'm on Slim Fast and I LOVE pink mice and there they are, staring at me hahahaha! I might do pink pigs at mine :D I do love baby converse but Florence's black DC's are way nicer than her converse and comfier for her, so I think the only way you will know is to try the others too xx
 
I've learnt to stay out of it now (as best I can cause I sure do have an opinion on it all) but this is what they do, a while a go now MIL went mental at OH, she spoke to him like I've never even heard worse enemy's speak to each other but then she just rang up and acted like nothing had ever happened and OH done the same! I really don't get it but ahh well!

We got some of the sticky transparent paper to print the names on for the place cards and we've tried 2 different printers and neither will work so now we are going to try it with normal paper and stick them on if not they will just have the be wrote in our awful handwriting haha!

My Mums got the job of putting the ribbon and tags on the sweet jars for the centrepieces and she sent me a picture of one to make sure she was doing it right! I think they look fab!

Went and picked the suits up today as they arrived in early! The ones that have tried them on so far have fit, the rest are trying theirs on tomorrow but fingers crossed none need changing! But here's is Bobby in his :cloud9: just need to find him a little belt for his trousers!

Thank you everyone :) i deffo think hes going to steal the show!!

OH went off on his stag weekend this morning, im getting all pictures of them up on facebook drinking in the airport and they are doing a hashtag on twitter so you can follow everything they are doing, think that might end in us not getting married next week though :rofl:

We also got a card from a relative on my Mums side of the family today who we invited to the evening reception, they cant make it but sent us £50 in the card, cant believe it!!

I'm at such a loss at the minute of whats left to do!!
 
Oooh how lovely! 50 quid lol! When they back from stag? Atleast you can know what he's doing lol xx
 
Awww he is adorable. BHS tends to have little boys belts x
 
Just finished the place cards, I ended up printing them onto white sticky labels so they don't look the neatest but its better than us writing them cause them they would look a mess!

I've just ordered Bobby and Darcey one of these frames each (Bobbys with stars) Darceys says 'thank you for being our flower girl Love Mummy & Daddy' and Bobbys says 'Thank you for being our pageboy Love Mummy & Daddy'

Stressed! I feel like I have so much to do but I can't even tell you what needs doing! I've emailed the venue to find out how they want everything organised as they will be setting up so I think once they tell me that and I can sort it all ill feel a bit better!

I spent hours this morning counting out table gems and putting them into separate bags after doing that I thought why am I so bothered about there being the same amount on each table cause no one else will notice!

I still haven't got our Dads anything as a thank you present and I can't even think what to get them at this late notice! The main thank you is for all the parents and that's a photo book of the wedding pictures after the wedding so this is more just a little something on the day, our mums are getting flowers! Any ideas ?
 
Dont know what others have suggested but saw your post on another thread about having a tight budget, so hard thinking of gifts!
Would have said cufflinks first but saw you said their shirts cant take them..
what about a little bottle of aftershave each?
A mug with Dad on or something
A bottle of wine/nice beer and a nice pint glass?
Do you have a john lewis or similiar near you?
I think these are nice gifts if your stuck for something

Or a shoe shining kit

Bobby looks sooo cute by the way!
Make sure you get lots of pictures of your venue once its decorated! Cant wait to have a nosey!
Oh's cousin got married the other day (we didnt go) but i love looking at the pictures!

What about something like this https://personaltouchgifts.co.uk/pu...-shot-glass/?gclid=CO-xtqS72rcCFY3HtAodwxEARA and https://personaltouchgifts.co.uk/purple-ronnie-wedding-father-of-the-groom-shot-glass/ you can pay for next day delivery I think.

They do these tankards too https://personaltouchgifts.co.uk/fabulous-tankard-father-of-bride/
 
Or just a bottle of a spirit or something? Jack Daniels maybe? It's hard isn't it! Hopefully the venue will be back in touch soon so you can organise, I always feel better when things are organised lol!
About the table gems, you're probably right about nobody else noticing but it would probably do your head in if you knew they weren't all even - I'm exactly the same. You're probably going to want to have something to do all week, if you sit down you will just think about something you think you should be doing. Just keep calm :) have a glass of wine xx
 
I think we're getting Chris' dad an engraved pint glass and some cans on guiness (that's what he's drinking at the moment), if my dad had been around I think I would have got him an engraved plectrum. The main thank you present for Chris' dad though is that we're watching their dogs for them the week after the wedding while they go to Rhodes

I love your place setting cards, they look fantastic :D
