Also Andrew has now booked his stag do. He goes on the 29th September and comes back 2nd October so he goes the weekend after me.

I'm a little upset with that just because I go on the 22nd and come back on the 25th and Jenson's 4th birthday is the 27th September and then Andrew goes 2 days after, so the two weekends surrounding his birthday one of us will be out of the country. I suppose we can make it extra special and Andrew take him somewhere whilst I am away and vice versa.

Andrew is going to Albufeira

Sorry to hear about your grandad

Bridesmaid dresses are lush. I bought these ssme ones originally in pale blue but then changed my colour scheme. They are fab for the money.

You will both still be there for LOs birthday though? You can still do lots of fun things and make it special!

 

[Charlotteee]

We'll both be in work with it being a Tuesday but we can take him for some tea and stuff.

Yeah they really are aren't they - i'm so pleased with them. And OH had to eat his hat cos he was so dead against china incase they were awful xxx

 

[MissMummyMoo]

They're lovely Char!

I know what you mean about LO's birthday but he's too young to remember anyway and like PP said you could each do something special with him on the weekend's you have him as well as taking him for tea on his birthday after work x

[Charlotteee]

:wave: welcome xxx

 

[CRWx]

Hope you're well my lovely

 

[Charlotteee]

I'm very well Char. Hope you and little miss are doing good.

I'm shattered today, was on my friends hen do on saturday and we went to The Adonis Cabaret on Canal Street in Manchester. Saw too many willies for my liking but it was all good fun and we had a brilliant laugh.

Made me think about my UK hen do - I'd like to go to funny girls in blackpool I think. Not too sure but would really like a drag act, I think they're ace!! So funny!! xxx

 

[CRWx]

We're both well thank you, can't believe how fast W is growing!

Oooh, I know where that is! Hahaha at all the willys though, oops. Glad you had fun and that it was a laugh

That sounds like a good plan! xxx

Ten months today

It seems to be flying around, my sister got married at the weekend, and we are at another wedding in 7 weeks - it's bonkers because then it will be June, and from June the year seems to fly with how busy we get, Andrew's birthday in June, then we have the boys for a week in August and then my birthday, then Andrews nephew gets married end of August and then my hen do in September and then Jenson is 4

After that's out the way it leaves us with 4 months until the wedding.

I feel like I am so behind!! Need to sort suits, can't decide whether to buy or rent, it seems silly renting when we can get perfectly good suits for the same price that they can keep! Also does the father of the groom have to wear the same suit as the bridal party? I thought it was just father of the bride??

[smileyfaces]

We rented suits purely for ease of having the measurements absolutely spot on (buying a suit from a shop you tend to only be able to get standard sizes). We just found it easier to have that side of things all taken care of we just had to pick them up and drop them off when we had finished. You can defo get suits for cheaper than renting but it is purely down to your preference on what kind of suit you wanted them to wear!

Father of the groom...completely up to you. We didn't have him in the same. Just groom, best men and father of the bride. Again, personal preference!

It will fly round now!

 

[Charlotteee]

Talk about flying around, how did you get to almost 12 weeks so fast

Yeah in that sense it is good to get them hired, especially because we will have a 4 year old, 8 year old, 13 year old and 17 year old.

Will have to weigh up the options with OH - he doesn't want tails, just wants a nice normal grey suit xx

 

[kbwebb]

were in the same situation not knowing whether to rent or buy, my OH is the same and just wants a normal suit. youll have to let me know the price difference and i know i was thinking the same about how quick its coming around!!

 

[Charlotteee]

Well I know it sounds really tacky but Primark have started selling suits and they are actually really good quality, for a suit jacket its £30! xx

 

[smileyfaces]

I know nearly 12 weeks gone so quick.

The price we paid paid for hiring was defo more than if we had bought them from a shop BUT like I said measurements were more important to us. My dad is a bag chap and finding a suit in his size that fit well in every area was nigh on impossible!

 

[Charlotteee]

Been doing some final save the date designs today, going to show them OH tonight so he can decide with me our favourite and then we can get them printed and sent out!!!

Also need to sit and confirm definites for day!! xx

 

[Charlotteee]

We've decided to hire. Mainly because Dan Kerr in Preston start at £59 for suit hire for a Prince Edward suit including everything except shoes. Andrew doesn't want tails but the Prince Edward is more up his street. And if you hire 5 suits the groom goes free so it would be £236 for all suits.

He has an appointment to go with his Best Man (his big brother) next saturday

Starting to feel so real now xxx

 

[smileyfaces]

Glad you have made a decision with the suits! Sounds like a great deal!

Good luck with the save the dates! We sent out fridge magnets

 

[Charlotteee]

Ours are fridge magnets too. Here's my prototype. They are being printed tomorrow

Haven't put the back as got lots of info on about hotel haha!!

 

[CRWx]

What a clever idea! They are beautiful xxx
