Hi Dajara!

Congratulations, wedding planning is both fun and stressful. I got married last September so a lot of this is still fresh in my mind too. Kelly recommended theknot.com and it's excellent for all wedding relate things.

If you want to invite the children then put their names on the invitations

We ordered our invitations as neither of us had time to make them, plus I am a perfectionist and not good enough at putting things together ie I wouldn't have been able to do it to the standard that I wanted. It is really nice and personal to make them yourself if you are creative, such a lovely personal touch to your big day.

We had cake and I cheated and had a little and it was amazing..lemon sponge..mm! (we had a chocolate and baileys layer and 2 lemon sponge layers, all with white chocolate icing..mmmm!)

Our invitation wording was:

Jane Bloggs and Joe Soap
together with their families
would like to invite
<insert names of guests>
to join them in celebrating their marriage
to join them in celebrating the marriage of their daughter
Georgina with Mr. Nigel Richardson
at
on Saturday, date 2007 at 2.30 p.m.
and afterwards at a reception in
The Hotel, Nameoftown

We wanted to do the inviting ourselves but included our families (some people include parents or parent's names, but that got tricky for us due to family situations)

Don't worry about what people consider "normal"- your wedding day is about you. Our wedding was pretty conventional but had our own touches that made it personal and special to us. You seem really organised, your dress sounds really cool.

My wedding skirt was a similar shape only in ivory silk and with stitching going diagonally across, it was soo comfy to wear.

Your rings are really cool too.

Make the day about you and how much you love your hubby to be, that's what weddings are all about, that's what's normal
