Sharing My Wedding Planning Tips

-
So Planning a wedding is super stressful so I thought I would let you in to my 10 tips of planning a wedding that I figured out along the way:  
  1. If you see something you like get it.Even if your not sure what it could be used for it will come in handy at some point.I found old hospital curtains in a recycling shop I originally was going to make chair covers with them (what a stupid idea that was), I ended up using them for table cloths, perfect.
  2. Rope family members in for anything and everything. Best way to save money if they ask you what you want for your wedding and you don't actually need anything, ask to put money towards the wedding. Also get them to help with setting up and taking everything down if that's something you have to do.
  3. Village Halls if you are having trouble finding somewhere and are on a budget look into village halls. They are lovely have character and most of the time you can decorate how you want making your wedding more personal. 
  4. DIY, Most of my wedding decorations were homemade and I think that's lovely it makes all the effort you put into the wedding worth while when you see the end product. I was lucky that James auntie is great with that stuff again going back to number 2. I got my whole family involved and used all there strengths to my advantage.MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
  5. Afternoon Tea. If that is something you are going to have Tesco sandwiches are the one. Cheap and great. lots of different fillings veggie ,non veggie,wraps and just bread and you can get them delivered to the venue so not rushing around trying to pick them up. 
  6. Charity shops. Great place to find tea sets and other bits and pieces you may need. 
  7. Chair covers. I personally wouldn't bother everyone is going to cover them with their bottoms anyway so whats the point in paying all that money for you not to see them.
  8. Depending on your theme there are lots of thing that you can get for free that help you along the way. For name tags I used pinecones. I also collected loads of leafs,conkers and moss so that helped with the table decorations.
  9. Canva.Its a great website that you can use to create posters, table numbers,names for the table or your table plan and most of it is free.
  10. Its your wedding don't let anyone tell you what to do or what you should have. You decide and at the end of the day its going to be a great day regardless.Things went wrong at my wedding someone turned up when they weren't invited,the music broke and I didn't have any food.But it was the best day ever.

How Our Relationship Changed When We Had Max

-

So this is a subject I don't think a lot of people do talk about. Mine and James relationship defiantly changed once we had Max. Me and James 1 month into our relationship  James never really wanted to have children or get married when we first started seeing each other,I on the other hand obviously did want both. But we loved each other so the wedding happened and then I became pregnant. James was scared about becoming a dad and one of the reasons he didn't want to be a dad was because he thought he wouldn't be good a it. I found his thought process really difficult to deal with as I knew that he would be a great dad but because hes so stubborn he wouldn't listen me,also he was scared of change, but time would tell when Max came.  For me I wasn't worried about our relationship,I think I went into mum mode when I was pregnant and Max was my priority. Me and James have always had a strong relationship we rarely argue and if we did we got over it straight away

Being A Birthing Partner Written By My Mum

Being a birthing Partner written by my Mum: In all honestly when both daughters said they wanted me at their births I was a bit dubious as I  am not a big fan of hospitals and was worried I wouldn’t cope! I had my mum at my own first birth ( Rosie) but I was on my own so that was understandable - Rosie had a husband so why did I need to be there!? I also am not a very patient person and so the thought of all those long hours was not something to look forward to!     Me and My Mum  The experience couldn’t have been further from all those thoughts!  From the moment my son came in to wake me up to tell me Rosie’s waters had broken I was excited beyond belief ( I was a bit tipsy as this had happened 5 weeks early and was not expecting a call!). I think Jim appreciated me being there and it meant when he was tense he was able to get some ‘fresh air’! All the hospital staff were lovely and accepting of ‘an extra’ in the room which made the job easier! Rosie was amazing as she must ha

Pregnancy From 20 Weeks To 35 Weeks.

So my 20 week scan was just as nerve racking as the 12 week one.We decided we would find out if we were having a boy or a girl. I'll admit I wanted a girl but as long as baby was happy and healthy then it was all good and if it was a girl then bonus. Obviously Jim wanted a boy he did make a good point, that if we have a boy now and a girl second she would have a big brother to protect her which I thought was quite sweet. So the sonographer said 'its a boy' I was so happy and excited but I was especially excited and happy for Jim his face just lit up, I know it meant a lot for him to have a boy so that his family surname would carry on as he has a family of girls. So after we found out that we were having a baby boy all the measurement were being done. Our little boy would not sit still, taking after his daddy already. It took double the time to do the scan due to him wiggling so much. But the lady had mentioned that he had quite a big tummy(this is where the sweets come i
