We had our HSE appointment today, all went well!
Florist who I booked in 2014 cancelled on us yesterday via email. I had text her last week (no reply) and then again yesterday confirming all was still ok for our date, text was ignored and an email was sent to the email address I gave her almost 2 years ago!! Lucky I still use that email address isn't it!?
On the hunt for a new florist now

Hi Ladies!
Another 2016 bride here. Engaged a month and have civil ceremony and ceremony venue booked, my dress, cake ordered, hair and make up booked. I'm making the bouquets myself and have all the stuff to make them ordered.
Went to view two venues for the reception today and my head is ready to explode with all the package information and comparing the two of them! One I really liked, ticked all the boxes for me but was on the more expensive end of things, the other one was cheaper but I wasn't crazy about the room they were offering us for the reception. We're going to go view a couple more venues before making a decision.
Loving this thread. 0 -

My invites are out I can honestly say that was the most stressful part of planning. Give yourself a month extra time with them as so much can be delayed. Every day was stressful as tiny things kept delaying it all.
Feck all rsvp replies but I kinda expected it might take a week or two.
My dress should be in by next week, am so excited to try it on with my shoes etc. It's all so real now, counting down the last two months.0 -

We just got onto vistaprint and picked out 50 invites for the ceremony, 50 for the evening reception, 50 RSVPS to go with ceremony invites (don't see the point in having the same for evening) and 50 envelope seals as we ordered the free white envelopes
Worked out at €200 including VAT and postage, so we're delighted with that!
(Also the OH actually picked them and edited them himself, shock horror! :pac: )0 -

Meeting the videographer to finally hand over deposit!
So with 7 months to go we have- all our civil ceremony paperwork done and notice given
- our venue booked and deposit given
- our band booked and deposit given
- our photographer booked and deposit given (and we only owe her €200 on the day because we went for an up-and-coming student )
- our flowers paid off in full (but I'm going to see her tomorrow about an arch for the aisle)
- our DJ booked (he doesn't take deposits but he's done all my family events)
- our invitations ordered, with spares just in case
- our rings picked (Argos' finest lol, just need to go and pay for them)
- my bridesmaid dresses picked (measurements to be taken this week and ordered next week)
- make-up and hair provisionally booked (calling in next week to hand over the deposit)
- videographer booked (meeting tomorrow to give him the deposit)
- favours sorted (ordered from one lady doing small candles to match our wedding cake) and ordering mini chocolates in a personalised box closer to the date
So all we really have to sort is suits, flower girl dresses for my wee girls and a dress for myself!
We're thinking of getting a chocolate fountain and one of those sweet carousels (but we're putting wham bars, liquorice, loveheart sweets etc in it rather than fancy chocolates) so I'll have to start looking into that.
Am I missing anything?

Your so organised ShaShaBear. I've 6 months to go but we're only engaged about 8 weeks. It's been non stop trying to get everything organised! I just ordered flowers today and cars are booked. Have our appointment with the registrar next week.
I still have to sort out the bridesmaid dress, rings, suits for the boys, invitations and we're not fully decided on whether or not to do wedding favours.
I'm making my own and bridesmaid bouquets and I nearly have them finished. I actually quite enjoyed that project.
Invitations I'm going to do myself.
My eyes have really been opened to the work that goes into planning a wedding, I'm worn out from making decisions!!!! 0 -

I do a lot of crochet and really wanted to make my own bouquets but Ive two under 2 so Id never get the time! I love the idea of handmade things!!
Its crazy, even when you get everything done you have to go back to them all periodically to give numbers, song info, seating and decoration plans... mental!0 -
