Wedding Countdown - 9 Months To Go

9 months tomorrow I will be walking down the aisle and I can't wait. However there is still sooooooooo much to do, Ahhhhhh!

I know 9 months sounds like a long time but I am starting to think that perhaps I should have made my invitations by now, eek!  Does anyone know when you are supposed to send out wedding invitations?? Should I send them 4 months before or 6??

And then there is the place name cards, table plan and thank you cards to think about.  Anyone got any advice on mass-making cards....think I'm gonna need it.  I am going to have to bribe my bridesmaids with a bottle of wine and takeaway to help me (mind you, they don't need bribing I only need to mention the word 'wine' and they will come running, hee hee).

Looking forward to your responses.
From a panicking bride-to-be!

p.s.  Do you like my snowman?  I haven't made one of these since I was a kid.  His buttons are REAL buttons!  Sadly he has melted now.  I hope you haven't been too effected by the snow and had chance to enjoy it.
