I think it's 50/50 with the gift lists!

I'm the sort of person who gets the pressies as soon as I can but Matt is the sort who leaves it until the last minute!
We went to a wedding recently and we bought the gift the day before!

(I think Matt won on that occasion)

Don't feel disheartened you've still got a little while to go, you never know, more people might have bought stuff & are choosing to bring them with them on the day!

I confess I always mean to do it earlier rather than later, but still manage to be a last minute person.

Emma, everybody leaves it til the last minute, trust me!!

I had a sneaky look at our list online 2 days before the wedding, and most of the gifts were still there! However, when we got home on the sunday and the presents that had been bought to the wedding had been unpacked into the living room, we had LOADS!!! Everybody was so generous, we had all the items we had really wanted!

So wait until your day, you will be pleasantly surprised

If it is any consolation, all of my people seem to be leaving it to the last minute too. I keep obsessively compulsively visiting my list on-line (I try not to, but can't help myself) I think that I may be shallower than a puddle in a very hot country with no rain, but I love to see what presents people are buying me!

But anyway, we have been stuck at ten presents for a few weeks now. I keep wanting to buy the odd saucer from the list just in case the mechanism seizes up and it doesn't work anymore, and we will never get the whole dinner service... and that it the only reason we are getting married so that we could have new, matching plates

My gift list was a flop. Loads of people never bothered with it, or a present at all, which is fair enough. But I still have about 25% - 30% left on the list.

I am trying to buy what is left outstanding now.

I am a gift list nightmare - I never check the buggers and always end up buying vouchers from the store. Hope you don't all get guests like me!

opps , i sound so sallow don't i , i'm really not to bothered, there are alot of people coming who i haven';t seen for years and it really is more important to me that they come, but it was just so exciting doing the list its like fanmtasy shopping isn't it,
