Welcome to Wedding Planning! ?

We have pulled together a few little handy hints and tips for this forum, there are a few traditions that we have going that would be lovely to carry on...

Introductions

Don’t be shy! Add a new thread introducing yourself to the group; this forum is only as good as the people in it so speak up! We don’t bite!

Good Luck Threads

There are no hard and fast rules but these are usually started by a date twin or someone friendly with the bride or groom to be in the 2-3 weeks leading up to the wedding. If you are not sure who is coming up there is a next 700 weddings list here on Hitched.

https://www.hitched.co.uk/weddings/next30.asp?whichpage=7&pagesize=50&print=y

Your good luck thread shouldn’t be read until you are ready to sign off before your wedding – if you peek early you will get spots!

Abbreviations

Sometimes the threads can be a little hard to decipher at first... here are a few of the most commonly used abbreviations in WP (Wedding Planning)

AIBU - Am I Being Unreasonable

BM - Best man or Bridesmaid

CBM - Chief Bridesmaid

ER - Engagement Ring

FPIL - Future Parents In Law

H2B - Husband To Be

HIB - Hitcher In Business

HRML - Hitched Rules My Life!

IIRC- If I Remember Correctly

IMO - In My Opinion

IYKWIM - If You Know What I Mean

IYSWIM - If You See What I Mean

MOH - Maid/Matron of Honour

N&P - Name and Praise

OH - Other Half

OM - Old Marrieds

OP - Original Post/Poster

OT - Off Topic

PIL - Parents In Law

PSA - Public Service Announcement

RAHK - Random Act Of Hitched Kindness

SIL/BIL/MIL/FIL - Sister.../brother.../mother.../father.... In Law

STD - Save The Date

(sp) - Unsure Of Spelling

TBH - To Be Honest

TIA - Thanks In Advance

TOG – Photographer

TROLL - Someone Fake On Hitched

VOG - Videographer

WEES - What Everyone Else Said

WWYD - What Would You Do

WR - Wedding Ring

WSS - What She Said

Hearts

The heart function is not used in Wedding Planning, but is in Baby Talk to highlight announcements.

Hitched Awards

These are held once a year (usually Nov/Dec), hosted by volunteers from the Hitched community.

Watch out for the announcements and the voting categories!

    Hi all,

    I'm new to this and i'm having trouble with two things.

    1) the abbreviations - i've seen the ones on this thread but there are so many not included on this list and i can't work out what they mean?

    2) I really want to get one of those countdown boxes which says there are ... days until my wedding. I tried but it hasn't worked, there is just a long link in place of the picture (you will see when i post this)

    Other than that i'm finding this very helpful and interesting. I don't know where to start planning wise but I am reassured that there are lots of others with the same questions/ideas/thoughts as me .

    Hello and welcome!

    In order to try and answer your query - which abreviations are we missing? If you let me know I can update the original post.

    I think you need to post the BB code into the signature box, I know it took me a few attempts of trial and error before I found one that worked! It looks like you have posted the web link rather than the code.

    Good Luck!

    With the intro of wedding I am going to add the wedding video..What do u need in weeding and how will you manage it?We all know that when you put the word “Wedding†in front of anything the price suddenly increases by a couple of hundred pounds. And I know lots of you now want to keep the cost of your special day down as far as possible, without compromising on the things you want. So myself and Chaos thought it would be a good idea to keep all those tips in one place (Inspired by IckleKats post of the other day.). I hope this helps a little bit and don’t be afraid to add your own!

    If you can find people who you know who can help with this it would really cut down the cost, wedding photography shoots can cost well into the hundreds. My friend was quoted £500-odd for her wedding day from the local studio, and that was budget!. A lot of photographers will offer a range of different packages though, so defiantly shop around to find one that has what you want. Then when you know what you want from your package you can shop around and see if you can find a better quote. Here is my recommendation:This guyzz I used and they are really good.You need to check out these guys- film-by-you.co.uk. My sister used them for her weddings. They are AMAZINNNG !! you will Get 40% discount with coupon Code "wedding17", which I have used.I heard they Cover all of the UK too And if your not 100% happy with their work they will give you a FULL refund.sounds good and found them good..
