Hi everyone.  It's been a long time.  I've been swamped with work and starting to feel overwhelmed, so have not been very productive.  I'm realy excited to finally have a caterer.  I have 4 months and 2 days to go and feel like hyperventilating.  I have basically procrastinated on everything and now I feel like I don't know what to do next.  I have to try and be very efficient since work is so busy, so if anyone can give me some words of wisdom, that would be great!  Thanks for letting me vent .

Going to figure out invites next! 

A.a.A.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Maybe just take it one thing at a time... like take this week to work on invites, then next week do one thing, etc etc! That is what I am hoping to do so i don't get too overwhelmed. Hope that helps!

Yay for the caterer, that's a BIG checkmark!    I agree with A.a.A. focus on invites next and then start tackling each area one by one.

I agree...just take a big breath and take it one step at a time.    It might look overwhelming, but breaking it down into little bits and getting tick marks on that task list will make you feel better.  Hang in there!!  It'll start coming together - just have faith!!

Just breathe and one step at a time.  It will all come together in the end!  You got a big check there.  Be proud of that!

Ooh, congrats on the caterer! Who did you choose?

Make a list of things you need to do and figure out which ones will either take the longest or will require you to book someone/something earliest. And then breathe.

Thanks so much for your kind words everyone.  I do need to get better at breathing .  I'll make a list and try and focus on one thing at a time.  I think I get overwhelmed because I try and multi-task.

I decided to go with Creations in Catering.  Herb is great!  I love how he was creative with our menu and responds very quickly.

Thanks again!!
