YO daily

As we start to welcome in autumn, it got me thinking about all those lovely warming smells, tastes and colours and what’s more warming than the orange skin of a pumpkin, but there also some amazing coloured squashes out there.

Use sandpaper to help de-slip the soles of your shoes so you don't have a Chandler moment.

Last year during lockdown I picked up the watercolour paints after what seemed like an age. Following the spirit of this week’s colour theme, here is my first attempt at painting a pumpkin.

What are your breakfast and lunch plans for the day?

Keeping up you strength through your wedding day will require you to eat sensibly at breakfast and if necessary lunch too. 

Plan in advance what to have for breakfast, have something hearty and full of protein that will keep you going and stave off the hunger.  If you're having a late wedding, think about a light lunch or snack.  You don't want your stomach to rumble midway through your wedding vows!

Save the Dates aren't always necessary to send out.  Read  our guide on when you should send them out in our hand guide on our website.  Be environmentally aware and send them electronically! 

Your wedding invitations need to be informative and contain everything your guests need to know or your wedding day.  Read our guide on what to include. 

Your RSVP slip should ask questions relating to what you need to know about your guests, such as food allergies or are they staying at a particular accommodation, do they need the minibus? Read our guide on what to include.

Reception Stationery includes all the stationer you may need for the day.  You don't necessarily need any of it, or you might want everything.  Read our guide on what to include.

Absolutely do not forget to send your Thank You cards to your guests after the wedding.  They will have maybe had to travel far, or got you an unexpected gift or invaluable advice. Also remember to send Thank You Cards to people who may have bought you gifts but not attended the wedding.
