Love your pictures - looks like everyone had so much fun x

Oh Nicy - love your sig pic you look lovely - a great photo of the both of you. With regards to be a blubbering wreck on my wedding day this is my fear as well - I am seen by others (so they tell me) as the joker of the pack and will tell people whats on my mind and what I think of them whether its good or bad - so everyone thinks I will be quite hard hearted on my wedding day - BUT I'm not good at being centre of attention and if someone else starts crying - it ALWAYS make me cry. If I cry I will never live it down - lol xx

Hope the same happens for you.

Thanks for the comments ladies xx Quote: Originally Posted by Soon-to-be-McRae On a good note i lost another pound and a half with slimming world tonight, just keep thinking of my wedding dress for motivation.

Actually got round to doing a logo as well! I dont know how I ever found time to go to work - lol! Pretty basic, but then we are trying to keep everything simple x

Back .....

Love all your purchases Nicy - you seem to be on a roll at the moment :-) The wedding all seemed more real today as me and one of my BMs went round delivering all the STD cards for our AHR. Worked out we need to send the invites out 1st Oct as we need the RSVP by 24th Dec. We have had a really good response from the STD postcards - I got them done on Vistaprint!! We put the website address on them as well as its now all finished and everyone loves it had so many texts. Wedding Planning - Jo & Buster Back to running tomorrow as have put on an lb for every week I have been at home - 4lb!!!! Glad I start my new job a week today then I can get back to normal and running after work. These are our STDs (sorry for the poor image - but you get the idea). x

We are having our AHR only 6 days after we come back and have had a really good response so far from both family and friends; so I dont know if your lack of response is maybe down to the fact that it is quite a time after your wedding?? But I really feel for you x

Thats really lovely. (I have to admit I too just had to google it :-) )

These are lovely x

It all looks great - especially love the runner.

We too are having an evening reception no sit down meal etc. Everyone who isnt coming to the wedding is aware of this and we have had NO ill feeling or negative comments. For us a DW was also about saving money x

They all look great - the tanning lotion idea is great x

Thanks!! Hotel Catalonia Riviera Maya - Activities, facilities, excursions, spa, weddings, golf, events, all-inclusive, forfaits This is the official website for the hotel - I have been before and for what you pay it is fantastic and thats why we chose to get married there as we knew all our guests would be able to afford it. I think you are right about the location. Quote: Originally Posted by thatgirl913 Hello, I will be getting married at the Cat on Sept. 7 of this year. As of now, we have 37 booked! Tell me about what you did for your reception. We are trying to make some decisions, but have had VERY little contact with Elana. Thanks, Sally Yey, another bride to be - welcome along

Oh I so wish I could do a site visit before the actual wedding but its just too far to fly (from London)- at least I have been to the hotel before and my wedding isnt until I have already been out there for 10 days!

These look great you must be so pleased and your FI helped - seriously mine would never do this!!!

I'm looking at having it in a big room at the Waterford overlooking the lake that holds 200 people and i want to do just a cocktail party. Now, i was thinking about inviting everyone that i invited to the wedding to the AHR not just those that i know are not coming. Is that ok?? I dont see why not thats what I'm doing x

As well as all this going on my day has been full of filling in job applications and c.v's because i am currently unemployed at present and jobs seem few and far between round here so i am hoping i hear back from them soon as i could do with some positive news and then i can get stuck in to some real planning :-) but for now still counting down the days until we can book which hopefully wont be to far away. Vicki x I am sure everything will work out for you in the end they always do but remain positive as it will all come good I'm sure of it. On the job front I lost my job the end of June (redundancy) and no pay for the whole of June so have had no money coming in since the end of May. I applied for every job around even if the money was pony and it the end I got one and start on 2nd Aug - I know how disheartening it can be and until you are out of work and applying you honestly dont know how it feels. Sending you lots of positive thoughts and it will all work out. Do you know how many you have thinking of booking yet?

Now all I need to worry about is if I can actually do the job they just hired me for...lol This is great news and of course you will be able to do it your company have faith in you so have faith in yourself and it will work out fine. good luck xx

Hello Ladies Me and FI went today and put down our deposit for our AHR venue. I know most B2B are from the US & Canada so I dont know how well you know England. I live in the South East approximately 25 miles from London in the county of Kent. We have lots of glorious countryside around the town where I live and we wanted to take advantage of this and have chosen a venue to reflect this. Its called the Hop Farm and is the largest collection of Victorian Oast Houses in the world, they have a lovely reception room with beams, covered in Hops etc. We are only have an evening reception with a dance floor and of course lots of booze. I cant wait as we have approx 200 people to invite as due to the distance we are travelling to get married we only have 16 people travelling with us to Mexico. I hope you like xx

whoops i forgot to attach the image....... http:// As I said I uploaded it as a PDF it just made life easier as Vistaprint doesnt give you many options to play around x

Sorry its not too clear too it with my phone under a lamp - lol. Its says Mexico January 2011 (at the top) Then lots of mexican 'things' (at the bottom) hotel catalonia riviera maya, puerto aventuras Then Speedy Gonalez saying 'I travelled all the way to Mexico to see Jo and Buster get married and all I got was this lousy magnet!' They are v thin but i thought they were just a little keepsake that only cost a couple of quid. Good luck x

Quote: Originally Posted by Soon-to-be-McRae Thank you for the link Josie will have a peek, i have been trying to do those magnets on vista print but not having much luck trying to put the text and image on doh!! lol Vicki I cheated a bit as I couldnt get it right so I designed mine in word and then uploaded it as a PDF! I'll see if I can take a picture x
