Cheers girls! You've helped me heaps. looks as though it doesn't really matter whether boys are left or right as it seems to be different for each wedding... we tried to think of 2 weddings we attended last year and yeah, they were both different (girls on left, and then girls on right)... so we'll just choose whatever we want for that.

As for inviting the b/maids new BF, we'll have to... shes doing us a favour being our b/maid so we need to be courteous and let him come too... looks as though they are pretty serious too so all the more reason to. i would expect the same if it was me in her position... so yeah... thats decided!

Now, as for the invites going out, i agree, once we post them thats it! If anyone asks for their friend or whatever to come we'll simply say sorry, unless there is a guest that can't make it, then we can't fit that person in... and that is an easy way of getting out of it without being rude... honestly, we feel its the partners/boyfriends/girlfriends of our cousins that seem to be taking up alot of the wedding guest list!! About 30% of them are boyfriends/girlfriends!!!!! ggggrrrr but what can you do?? haha and i suppose one day they quite possibly could become family too...

It's exciting planning the table setup and who is to sit with who etc.... today was great meeting with the caterer, it gave us a better idea of what to expect and how to proceed on from here.... yay!!! it's all coming together nicely now.......woohoo!!

mbear - we were hoping to stick to 50 ppl originally but it just hasn't worked that way for us!!!!! ah well, the more the merrier i guess....(and expensive!!!!)
