Right, so some voting (for dates), and some venue checking has been done, and Me n NappiesGalore have made executive organising planning decisions (based on us having little time and few options )

Saturday 22nd November

Dust Bar (website here)

Nearest Tube Station - Farringdon

It will be canapes, so if you want more food, eat beforehand.

The canapes are being chosen for us - they will be clearly labelled as meat, fish, veg and will allergy advice.

The music we can bring a dj, ipod with playlist set up or have music piped up (music is a very varied mix so should suit everyone). We can use any/all of those options.

Music is quieter at bar end, plus we will have volume control.

They have some fabulous sounding shots

Price will be £20 per head max. I will phone tomorrow to find out when they need final numbers for food etc, and when we have a more accurate numbers list, I can work out the right cost - it WILL NOT be more than £20. If we end up paying more than is needed, then obviously I will buy a new dress divide it up and refund people OR put it behind the bar - whatever you think is best.

How's it all sound?

Please sign up FOR THIS DATE AND VENUE here:

Umlellala (secretly quite glad that her wedding venue didn't have a large mumsnet contingent dissing it... )

£20 is good.

Looking forward to shots. I can DRINK this time, yay!

I'm confuddled- does this replace the one we've already put our names down for?

Is there anyway to add people later? I would come, but I'd have to convince my sis to come (because I'm a big scaredy cat).

Chill, I put you back.

If you promise you aren't going to change the date again, I might start looking for a hotel.

Once I've booked that, I can't back out
