I’ve been thinking a lot about families and weddings. Recently I read about Olly Murs and the difficulties his family have been having since he didn’t attend his twin bother’s wedding as he was midway through his X-Factor journey (I will just mention here that the articles I’ve read all point to other issues within…
You got engaged – yay! But prepare yourself because from now on the only thing people will want to know is ‘how’s the wedding planning coming along’. We’re unsure of the psychology behind it (and we’re sure there is some) but people just can’t help themselves. When something significant is happening in your life it…
Here it comes – the festive wedding. You can’t quite decide if you’re happy about it or not; should Christmas be for Christmas or is there no such thing as glitter and sparkle overload (remember we are Wedmothers – for us, there can never be too much sparkle!)? Whether you love Christmas or not it…
So, last weekend I got to sample a FABULOUS idea for a hen party – candle making! The Tweedy Gift Company makes candles and the lovely Tracy, who runs the company, runs candle making workshops to teach you all she knows. I arrived at 10am on a Saturday (she does this once a month for…
There is it, embossed and leaping out from the invitation like a big silver bullet to the purse…’Dress Code: Black Tie’. Men LOVE this. A tux, a white shirt, dickie bow and black shoes. Done.

Oh boy. The most popular person you know, with a huge family and loads of connections, is finally tying the knot. And you’re invited. This is an invitation to a Mega Wedding. You know the type – around 300 ‘of my closest family and friends’. Oh yes, going to a Mega Wedding is not your…
Or…do you care who sits where? It’s true that by ditching the hassle of creating a seating plan your Wedmin will be greatly reduced and stress levels will definitely be lower. The pressure of deciding who has to sit next to great aunt Mildred with her hairy chin and dubious odour, or uncle Dave with…
You’re clutching the long awaited invitation starring at the location. It can only mean one thing – the wedding is in a marquee (or a teepee – whatever, it’s a giant tent). Is this a good thing? You don’t know. You DO know that it’s not going to be like going to a posh hotel,…
Most of us opt for a ‘normal sized’ wedding. That is to say, around 100 guests with maybe another 30 or so attending for the evening. We want to shout our love from the roof tops and make sure everyone gets to join in. But what if you want a smaller crowd? What if you…
