Good morning, Ada & Rowan

days to go.

Today's note

You're 79% replied and the venue doesn't need final numbers for another five weeks. This week, just chase the six people you know personally — the portal has already nudged the rest.

Written fresh each morning from where your wedding actually is — not a generic countdown.

This week

    Calendar

    Plan tasks green, supplier payments amber, check-ins with us navy, private items 🔒. Private items never reach your partner's calendar.

    Tip Untick anything you're not doing. A shorter plan you'll actually follow beats a complete one you'll ignore.
    AI summary

    Everything that could go into planning a wedding, with the month it's usually done. Tick what applies to you: the portal hides the sections you don't need, puts the rest on your calendar at the typical time, and tells you what's next.

    The plan

    What you're doing — and when.

    Typical timings are from UK planners' checklists, worked back from 14 June 2027. Drag nothing; just tick.

    What's next

    Tip Bring the one thing you're stuck on to each check-in. We'll do the rest of the agenda.
    AI summary

    Real people on a schedule that tightens as the day approaches: Caitlin and Shanay Burrows, a seasoned wedding and special events coordinator. Included with Tier 3; private time with Shanay is extra, per session.

    Private time with Shanay

    Venue walk-through, on-the-day coordination, the difficult family conversation — booked per session, priced in writing before you confirm.

    WhatsApp with us

    A private group — you two, Caitlin and Shanay. Replies within the working day; daily in the final week.

    Tip Decide who's paying for what before you book anything. Most "we've gone over" moments are really "we never said who was covering that".
    AI summary

    One page for the money. Pick what makes your wedding a wedding, put a supplier and a cost against each, say who's paying — and the budget, the supplier sheet and the calendar all update from the same numbers. Nothing is typed twice.

    Budget & suppliers

    If you borrowed the difference

    Only if you want to. Put in your own rate — the portal never suggests a lender.

    Tip Order 10% more of everything printed. Someone always spells a name wrong, and the venue always wants two more menus.
    AI summary

    Everything printed or sent, in the order guests see it: save the dates, invitations, then the on-the-day pieces — menus, place cards, order of service, signage — and thank-you cards after. Quantities come from the guest list; the cost rolls into the budget under Stationery.

    The stationery

    Everything printed, in the order it's sent.

    PieceWhenQtyEst. £Status

    Send the menu for choices

    Once the menu is final, one click emails every attending guest a link to pick their starter and main. Choices land on each person's line in the guest list and on the caterer's sheet.

    Designed to match

    Caitlin designs each piece from your brand bible so the website, the invitation and the table all look like one family. Design is quoted per piece; print and postage at cost.

    Tip Seat the people who don't know anyone next to your most talkative friend, not next to each other.
    AI summary

    The look of the day in one place: your palette and three words, the mood board suppliers work from, then the room itself — tables, where the flowers, cake and band go, and who sits where. Speakers are flagged so they're never seated at the back.

    How your wedding will look

    The feel, then the room.

    Floor plan

    Drag tables and the big things around the room — mic, band, cake, buffet, bar, dance floor, and where the flowers go. Anyone giving a speech is flagged if they're far from the mic.

    Tip One line per person, always. Couples share a group, not a row — the caterer counts mouths, not households.
    AI summary

    Every guest on their own line with their household group beside them, so numbers and meal choices are exact. Tags — speech, bridal party, hen, stag, access, allergy — follow each person onto the table plan, the floor plan and the right emails.

    Guest list

    Everyone, one line each.

    Tip Tell the maid of honour and the best man the budget per head before they plan anything. It's the one thing hens and stags fall out over.
    AI summary

    The hen and the stag, planned by the people who should be planning them. You set the dates you're free, the budget per head and the "please don't" list; one email each to the maid of honour and best man carries the tagged guest list with it.

    Tip Write the vows three weeks out, read them aloud once, then put them away. Editing on the night before is how you lose the good line.
    AI summary

    The personal bits: your vows, with a structure that works; thank-you gifts for the people standing beside you, costed straight into the budget; and your private pages — the dress for Ada, Rowan's corner for Rowan — that the other can't see.

    Preparing for "I do"

    The words, the gifts, the private bits.

    Writing your vows

    • One minute each. About 120–150 words. Longer and the room drifts.
    • Structure: how it started · one true, specific thing about them · what you promise · one line that's just for them.
    • Say it aloud twice before the day; your mouth finds the bumps your eyes miss.
    • Print two copies. One in a pocket, one with the best man.
    • Agree with each other on tone (funny / serious) so one of you doesn't cry and the other do stand-up.

    Tip A nanny for the ceremony alone is worth it: it's the hour every parent actually wants to watch.
    AI summary

    From the children on the guest list and their ages, a suggested number of nannies, when they're needed and what to brief them on — with the cost dropped into the budget under Childcare.

    Tip Everything after the ceremony runs twenty minutes late. Build it in once, here, and stop apologising on the day.

        AI summary

        After the day: every guest's photos in one gallery, thank-yous matched to each gift with a photo attached, and — if you'd like — the best of everything as a printed book. Then the portal data is deleted and the website is yours as HTML, for life.

        Afterwards

        The thank-yous, the photos, the keepsake.

        Included

        Everyone's photos, one place

        The final guest email carries a link where guests drop their own photos and videos — no app, no account. The photographer's gallery sits alongside. Nothing is face-matched.

        Included · Tier 2+

        Thank-yous with photos

        Each thank-you pairs the guest's gift from the registry with a photo. Sent in your words, on the date you pick.

        Add-on

        The coffee-table book

        The invitation, the site's best pages, the running order, your guests' notes and the photographs, designed into a printed book.
