Hi everyone! I'm having a bit of a thing and figured you all would be able to relate.
I'm about 90 days away from my wedding which I intended to be a low on budget, high on fun event. 
The issue is that it is a slow time at work so I'm on all these sites putting things in a cart ALL DAY! Also, whenever I come to the forums or other online bride chat groups, I hear something else that would be adorable and start searching for it too! The whole purpose of this DIY was to make it less expensive but all of my "cheaper" items are adding up.
HELP! LOL how do I stop this?!?! LOL

Oh, I understand you well! There's no way to deal with this until you get married

One thing that might help is setting a strict “cool-off” rule for your cart. Whenever you add something, wait 24 hours before purchasing. Half the time, you’ll find you’re over it by the next day! Also, keep a list of the absolute essentials you need and compare any new ideas to that list. If it doesn’t add something significant, maybe it’s worth skipping.

I had the same problem! One thing that helped me was setting a firm budget for each category (decor, favors, etc.) and sticking to it. If I saw something new I had to have, I'd ask myself, “What can I swap out to make room for this?” Also, try stepping away from online shopping for a day or two—you’d be surprised how often you realize you don’t really need that extra item.
