Had bit of a melt down at my mum's. We were talking about my hen night, and I just cant seem to sort things out. Then it progresses onto the actual wedding, and I burst out crying because it all seems to be falling apart! 1 bridesmaid left, OH family dont mention the wedding, everything seems to need to be done last mintue, OH isnt here to help sort out church stuff... the list goes on.

I know it will all work out, but when I dont have OH to fall back on it's really difficult, it's like im planning a wedding all on my own.

It is only 15 weeks and 6 days to go, which really doesnt sound like that much at all, and I have so many things that I need to do, maybe I should write them all down here, and keep track, and mark off when I have done it. I dunno.

Keeping a to do list and checking things off is SO helpful. A lot of the bridal wedding sites have those types of lists.

Bring safety pins and tylenol! And tampons! And don't forget to just s-l-o-w down and enjoy the day because it's true what they say, it goes by fast!

something like this

Or this

Or this

 

[hakunamatata]

Yeah I hope everyone will bring a camera, if not I have one, and will take pics. But I always find it is me who takes the pics so im never in them.

What do you have planned for your Hen Night?



ETA: Invites were from Vista Print, you can customize them to fit your details.

Maybe invest in disposable cameras and put them on the tables??

 

[Shabutie]

Just a quick update: My hen night bits and pieces arrived and are fab.

I have sent my hen night invite outs, and am only waiting on 3 people to confirm if they are attending.

I also have to contact the church at the beggining of June about our Banns being read. Need to speak to them about OH taking my name.

OH's best man is taking him paintballing for his stag do, and then to a pub for something to eat and a few drinks. i think OH will enjoy this.

14 weeks tomorrow until the big day!

 

[hakunamatata]

What exactly is hen night? Is that like a batchelorette party? I should just Google it but it's more fun harassing you.

 

[Shabutie]

Haha, yep you got it! Exactly the same thing really. I have only ever been to two, second time I was preggo with Amara and I felt so uncomfy. Hopefully mine will be fun. lol

 

[mouse_chicky]

Wow. It sounds like everything is coming together for you. Good luck with continued planning!

 

[Smile181c]

I got back from a hen weekend on Sunday and I'm mega excited for mine now lol yours will be ace! xx

 

[Tiff]

I went to a bachelorette party this past weekend too, was SO much fun!

Sorry you are feeling so stressed out sweetie. I kind of did a when you wrote how far away it is, for whatever reason 15 weeks seems less than 3 months?

 

[Shabutie]

I know it's scary isn't it! Now its only 14 weeks!

Yeah I think I was having a down time. I dont think any of this will seem real until my OH gets home 5 weeks before the wedding as we all are running about like headless chickens trying to get everything done!

 

[Shabutie]

So the OH is home, thought I should get back on track with the wedding planning!

So our Order of Service is all typed up, its just a case of printing them all off. worked out, we'll have to cut about 380 of the buggers!

Wedding post box is done!

We worked out our budget and its super super tight! Cant believe how much we have left to pay off, and how little is in the bank! The remainder of the church, hall, car and DJ, is £1045. Food is £500. Men's suits are £360, oh the list is endless

Our Banns still havent been read, in either church

Oh the STRESSSSSSSS!!!!

 

[hakunamatata]

Just breathe!! Do you have any relatives who might loan you a bit of money for the rest of the expenses?

 

[Smile181c]

Welcome back

Breathe... xx

 

[Shabutie]

Thanks girls!

Me and OH sat and did a calender type thing, were we have set days for getting everything done, theres still a load of things to do, but its better seeing it being written down, and then watching them get ticked off!

Worked out our budget, and think im gonna have to ask my mum if we can have our wedding present early, which she said we can if needed, just so that we can pay the food off, everything else should just about get sorted by ourselves!

We now have dates for our Banns to be read at the church we are marrying in, they are 24th and 31st of July, then the 7th August, so just waiting on the other church!

I've just sat and wrapped everybodies gifts, I think they look so cute! I will post a pic in a bit.

Phew what a hectic few days, but its slowly comming together!

 

[Shabutie]

Here are everyone's gifts, minus 1 Usher!
