Countdown: Today it is exactly five months before the big day!
Wedding update
Invitations: March has been a very successful month for Mark and I in planning progression for our Wedding. We decided to make our own invitations and have had great fun in choosing different types of card, ribbon and stamps with which to be creative, as well as trying out various different font types.
We are now happy with our design and only need to replicate it by the amount of people we are inviting! Not a lot of work left then!!
DVD: We have arranged for a company to film our wedding. This is mainly as Mark’s Grandma will be unable to attend. It would be nice for us to be able to show her our day and for us to have a copy ourselves.
Bridesmaids: I have chosen the dresses for the bridesmaids and now need to get them together for a fashion parade! I found the dresses at ‘Bluewater’ in Kent.
Suits for the boys: About three weeks ago we went to look for suits for Mark, his dad, his best men, ushers and my Dad. After spending about 3 hours dressing him up in different outfits we finally reached a decision! Another thing to tick off our ever growing ‘To Do’ list!
We even found a little suit outfit for Conner, my nephew and pageboy, who will be just over three and a half at the wedding.
Accommodation: We have arranged lists of suitable accommodation for our guests to stay in and have negotiated special rates with three hotels in the area.
Wedding Fayre: I have attended yet another Wedding Fayre, however, this one was actually at our chosen venue, so it gave me an opportunity to measure the tables and look at flower arrangements as well as finalise some details around positions of guests and table settings.
Honeymoon: We have begun looking at various destinations for our honeymoon, including; Mexico, Cyprus, Italy and Crete. No decisions made yet however, but at least we have made a start!
