I ordered my save the dates and invitations from A Moment of Magic online. They are absolutely gorgeous but were quite expensive.

The rest of our stationary (seating plan, menus etc) will be from Signed With Love Weddings (the acrylic board style ones).
 
Were using a website called "pure invitation" for ours. They can be something like £6 an invite but throughout the year they do 20% off on random occasions so just waiting for that so we can order them
 
I’m printing my own invites, I found a template I loved on Etsy and then using my Cricut to make some pretty pocket envelope things!

The local lady sent me over her draft invites and they're awful so that's good 🙃
Oh no! I’m thinking of trying a few sellers from Etsy myself. They seem to do sample packs so will order a few.
Still not sure when to actually send invites though! Wedding is Sept so am thinking in the new year

I got my Save the Dates from Etsy and they're perfect! I think standard is around 6-9 months before :)

What do you guys think about getting a videographer?

Photographer yes, but not sure we need it all on film too?

I have just booked a videographer after waiting to see if the budget would cover it, and I’m glad we have because I’ve heard a lot of people say you can only get so much from photos and videos can be a great reminder of people that pass away. We watched my parents wedding video the other day, and it was so nice seeing my grandad and Nan that have passed giving speeches just hearing their voice again was so lovely 🥰

I've booked one i have to say, I've read many articles that say its the number one regret from couples if they don't have one. I think about things like relatives that may not be around much longer, it would be nice to see them dancing etc

We're not getting a videographer, realistically I don't think we'd watch it more than a couple of times 🤷

We aren’t having one. I don’t particularly like seeing myself on film and I doubt I’d watch it.

I would skip the videographer myself. I know I wouldn't watch it and I don't think anyone else would watch it - they'd have been there themselves.
 
I’m cringing at the idea of photos of me, never mind a video
I felt like this at my brothers wedding but, the photographer took mostly candid photos, most of which we didn’t realise had been taken. They turned out to be lovely and I actually don’t mind the ones of me being in a frame for the first time ever. So maybe, ask your photographer to do some candid ones?
 
Are any other 2022 brides starting to worry more about new covid restrictions? We’re March and had been really hopeful with all the weddings going ahead but I just feel like we’re going to end up in another lockdown and it won’t go ahead. We were due to start fertility treatment and have postponed slightly for our wedding so if the wedding can’t go ahead it will have been a total waste. I’m feeling so anxious about it all 😭

If I'm completely honest no, we decided if there is 50 allowed we will get married..other rescritions don't really matter to us tbf we just want our family to be there (we've a lot of brothers and sisters) the wedding without rescritions is unlikely to happen in 2022 you just need to decide what's important to you. We could have this for many years yet

A little bit - we are also March (3rd) and I’m worried, but our wedding numbers are less than 15, and more of a nice meal and evening chilling rather than any evening entertainment so hoping we will be ok. I can’t see them completely locking us down again.
I’m more worried for one of my best friends who has her reception later in the year after having her wedding in June. She was devastated she couldn’t have her full numbers and had already moved it from 2019, so I will be so upset for her if she can’t have the reception she’s dreamed of
