Cake?

I'm toying with the idea of cupcakes.....?

but maybe fiddly and nothing to cut, but looks rather pretty, will need to get cake boxes...

Or just a cake, with tiers that you can cut....

Any one know a good baker or patisserie?

Accomodation wise:
Shaun, Saash, Erika and I are looking for hostels - nice ones with ensuites for 33 euros a night
But if anyone wants to stay somewhere else, you're welcome to and we'll make sure you know the address of where we're also staying so we'll in the same area.

People who have confirmed and booked:

Saash
Shaun
Erika
Sarah
Aoife
Leon
Ellen
Jude
Jeanne
Mimi
+ Me

Shaun will be in touch to see who wants a hostel room or wants to book their own place

I expect this weekend to be a pretty laid back affair, no rush no strain, sleep in, shop, museums, siestas, wine, tapas....no itinerary other than meeting for dinner, drinks and partying in the evenings...!!

Looking forward to it! xxx

Als Stag Do

So the stag do is Saturday 21st March.
It's early, but Dunc's move to Aiya Napa (Yay for Dunc!) and various people's availability dictates.

The plan is something like this - I'll fill in more details nearer the time:

1-2	Meetup at Kings Cross
3pm sharp	Go Karting in Tottenham Hale
6:30pm	Eat at Preem restaurant, 120 Brick Lane, E1
8:30	Sohoho Comedy Club
12-ish	Go to a club - The Borderline (£7 in), for that authentic "Tuesday night at Klute" retro indie feel :)
2-ish	See who's still standing, go to Bar Italia for coffee + more drinks or go home if incapable...

Go-Karting is BOOKED

Don't forget to budget for drinks and travel - £8 for a tube travelcard, but the tube stops at 12:30 so we'd have to get taxis back afterwards.

Hotels

There's a Holiday Inn just off Oxford Circus with rooms at £96 for a twin (2 singles), so if those who are travelling down don't mind sharing, that's £48pp.
Travelodge in Euston has double rooms for £86.

There may be cheaper hotels around, but these are a decent balance between price and distance.

We bought the rings!

Lise has a 2mm platinum band in a medium court profile to match the engagement ring, Al has a 5mm palladium flat court band.

Hotels Near the Wedding Venue

I thought I'd post a Google Map showing the hotels nearby, so here it is:

Half-price rooms at the Hilton Metropole Hotel!

My Mum tells me that the Hilton Metropole Hotel (which is just around the corner from the wedding venue) has a half-price room deal on the wedding weekend! She got a double room for £69 per night, which is not bad at all for a 4-star hotel in the vicinity of Baker Street.

Here's a map - the Registry Office is pretty much where Baker Street meets Marylebone Road:
