Ok I've noticed my blog is getting very scattered lol so decided I'm going to write out what has been worked out so far and costs at guess so far.

• Guest List To wedding and Reception - Total 65 people.
• Invites - I've worked out the invites if I go with Pocket Invites to cost £1.82 each. I need to make 30.
• Notice each £30 so for both me and Dave its £60.00
• Registration Fee for marriage ceromony £305.00
• Marriage Certificate Each £3.50
• The Coppleridge Inn deposit and Civil Wedding Hire Charge £350.00

The Coppleridge Inn deposit £250 is non-refundable.

• Dress - Bonny Style 449 can be bought from The Clothes Horse, 90 Highstreet, Bathford, Bath Tel. 01225852626 Selling Price £559.00. Dress has to be ordered in for try on.
• Flowers - Di Goodinge 01747 858250. Letter dated 14th September has all the Quoted prices on for what I wanted and comes to a total of £116.00 excluding table centre pieces I came up with which are £8.50 each and button holes which are £3.50 each. I estimate we will need 6 button holes which totals up to £137.00. But need to decide on amount of table centre pieces are needed.
• Cake - Marks and Sparks do a 3 tier which serves 144 and each layor a different flavour which costs £199. this may be to much cake really but they do single layors so we could have 2 tier cake and one bit fake which may bring cost down.
• Topper - decided on the butterfly topper from ebay £25.00 P&P £2.95
• Flutes - H.Samual Jewellers special memories crystal champlaign flutes, code 6082610 £39.99
• Menu - Need to talk with The Coppleridge Inn to finalize costs and menu. But from their website their prices range from £18.50 - £29.50 per head. I would have thought for our menu and we would be looking at £19.50 per head which comes too £1267.50
• Evening Buffet - If we have one we would go for the £7.00 per head which includes: Sandwiches with variety of fillings, Mixed Indian Savories with Sweet Chilli Dip, Selection of Puff Pastry Rolls, Pizza and Quiche. Which totals to £455.00

Looking at the above the Grand Total comes too £3458.54

But if we forget the evening Buffet and Evening all together - £3003.54

Still Need to do -

• Drinks - would need to be discussed but we figure bottles of wine for the main meal would be provided by us and guests would buy their own drinks for the rest of the reception.
• Outfits - I'm thinking of letting my MOH choose what she wants to wear as she will be paying for it and I want her to feel comfortable. for my boys and Bridesmaid I was intending on them whereing something smart but can be worn again. Thinking for my boys Jeans smart t-shirt with a sleeveless pull over.
• DJ - need to find out the cost, were hoping our friend can do it.
• Rings - have an appointment to see a designer at H.Samual Southampton to work out design and cost.
• Shoes - going to wait till January Sales
• Photographer - MIL has offered to pay for, need to find out her budget.
• Jewellery - Possibly see if it can be my something borrowed or check Sales
• Garter - Looking, want white lace and royal blue.
• Table Clothes Etc - Need to check with Coppleridge for costings as I can hire from them.
• Hair and Make up - May do myself. or may ask someone in the family.
• Thankyou Presents - have a couple but still need folks, ushers, and Best Man.
