Time for another update!
I have some proofs of our placecards!! Who wants to see?
I'll have to upload the picture and save it as a JPEG first since it's currently a PDF, but I'm sooooo excited about them!
Here they are- not final versions but pretty much what they'll look like:
The vegetarian guests will be distinguished by a small carrot in the corner of the placecard!! :biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:
We did the seating plan yesterday- took forever. I ended up making a big board, drawing the tables on, and making name lables with blu-tack on to move people around. Just like Monica in Friends planning her wedding! I think we have it just about sorted now.
A major, MAJOR thing also happened yesterday- our cake maker dropped out :shock: It was supposed to be the best man's wife, as she has her own small business making cakes. She had her second baby in June, and was quite stressed out and tired etc before he was born, so we were advised to leave it be for a while, seeing as we only wanted a chocolate cake that doesn't take as long to make (fruit cakes need to sit for a while etc) so we didn't bother her about it. Steve emailed his best man yesterday after me saying that we reeeeeally needed to sort it out, because if she was going to back out, it's getting too close to find another cake-maker. Well, he emailed back and said she felt she had too much on to do it, but she thought she'd told him that ages ago. He denies all knowledge of this and is very apologetic about it, but we're screwed nonetheless.
So, cue mad panic and much Googling of local cake makers and many emails sent. Thankfully, we had an email back this morning from someone about 5 minutes away, with a lovely website, and lovely looking cakes, and she can make ours!! Hooray! She did say that with this short notice she wont be able to do any of the iced-flower designs though, which is a shame because it's exactly what I wanted
But, at this short notice, it's just great to have found someone! We're going to see her on Tuesday evening to talk designs and such.
Here is her website:

We're still trying to decide the music for the ceremony. We apparently have to have 7-10 tracks to play whilst we sign the register and pictures are taken of us- the ceremony pictures. It's SO hard! We also have to choose our walk-in and walk-out tracks too....
