Date's set and plans kinda got mixed up

I wasn't sure where else to post this, so here it goes. The date's set for June 19, 2013, and that's not going to changing due to the fact that we've told a lot of people. Well, now we're pregnant. I'm totally happy with having a baby, but I'm not sure how a wedding will be with a five month old...Thanks for listening. Just needed to get that out.

Re: Date's set and plans kinda got mixed up

  • Your wedding can still be however you want it to be. Congratulations on your pregnancy, by the way!
    You may choose to scale back somewhat depending on your finances and such, but really it's up to you. You can have your baby sit with a friend or relative during the ceremony or find a baby sitter. If you're worried about choosing a dress, find a style that will be eaiser to alter with your changing post-pregnancy body, or a flowy a-line.

    Any specific aspects you're worried about?

    Me too! :] Congratulations!! For me, baby will arrive like a year and a half before the wedding. FI and I had budgeted carefully and figured we'd have around 15,000 for the wedding. That's changed now. We will still have the wedding, and the guests, and host them accordingly. However, everything else will be sidestepped. I'm pretty craftsy, so I'm living on the DIY board. All the bouquets and bouts will be done by me, all the centerpieces [tall vase with flower in the bottom and floating candle, OR branch with hanging tealights]. The aisle/pew decs will be tissue poms. I have a close friend who's gonna make my dress... Probably buy a white summer dress dirt cheap, and then she'll edit it. Buy bottles of alcohol for the bar so we just gotta pay a bartender. Stationery via photoshop. iPod reception music with song requests from guests beforehand to create the playlist. As long as I have FI, guests, minister, and food for guests; everything else will be just, whatever we can DIY. Financially, that's the "worries". Other than that... I don't expect anything else will change. The fact that baby will be there doesn't really change anything... My mother will look after him/her, and OOT guests will probably spend more time cooing over baby than me. That's it. I don't really think anything has to change, as such, more just be reworked to fit budgets. I'm so excited!!! :D Sorry for the rambling. I'm sure your day will be so great! :]
    So, maybe things don't always go as planned... Maybe that's okay. I may be alone for now, but my baby boy is on his way, and I wouldn't change a thing.
  • Congratulations on the peanut!

    I have a friend from high school who became pregnant after they were engaged, and had their wedding when their son was 6 months old.  It was a beautiful wedding and the pictures were priceless.
  • Thank you! Makes me feel a whole lot better.

    @azdancer8: Not really any specifics I'm worried about yet. Just slightly scaring me I guess.

  • Congrats.  Not much has to change, except maybe your budget.  But you can stll have the wedding you want.  By cutting costs and diy-ing a few items,  you'll be fine.  Also, you have time to plan, so you can use that to your advantage (although for you, you might be busy planig for baby as well).
