Overwhelmed...

cwill6212

I'm getting married on 6/2/12. I've had the big items booked and taken care of since we set the date late last summer. But all the sudden, I look up and realize that I have 141 days to take care of the detailing and pay the balance on everything. Having a stressful week thinking about all the things I still need to accomplish to pull off this wedding... Anyone else feeling a bit frazzled right now??

I kind of am. Like you I got all of the big stuff taken care of this past summer. Since then I've kind I've just been coasting. I really need to kick it into high gear! there's still time, but I am freaking out a little. I still have to: -Design, order, and mail STDs (waaayyy late!) -Finish my Wedding Website -Register -Finalize flowers, linens, details... -Pick and order invitations -Get WP, parents', and groom's gifts -Order wedding bands -Book rehearsal dinner -Book hotel for the night of -Book honeymoon -Buy Accessories for me -Find/order Flower Girl dresses -Do a hair and make-up trial -....I know I must be forgetting a few things.

The 5 month mark hit for me and I freaked out.
I kept saying oh I have time and then I realized crap I have lots of little things to do. Most of the big stuff is done... but I went in to frazzle mode for sure.

Let's see... I still have to:
-Buy Accessories for me
-Finalize MOH and BM attire
-Register
-Finalize flowers, linens, details
-Finalize menu and food costs
-Place cake order
-Get WP and groom's gifts
-Book rehearsal dinner
-Book hotel for the night of
-Alter dress (once it comes in Feb)
-Go over music and no-play list w/DJ
-Address and send invitations
-Do a hair and make-up trial
-Pay balances (venue, photographer, DJ)

Seems like a long list for both of us.  But some of those can be accomplished in one weekend. We'll make it---just gotta stay focused on the prize

I always have that feeling when I think about how close the wedding is considering we got engaged November 2010 and we're almost 5 months away. We started out with 19.5 months!!

Just make a list of what you're going to accomplish every month and make sure you stick to it. I know I'll probably have a panic attack when on January 31st it says I have 4 months, __ weeks, and __ days until the wedding. Yikes!!

I'm getting a little stressed right now. I think after the next few weekends, I'll be a little better. We have our food tasting on Sunday then meeting with the cake baker & designer on the following Saturday. Once I get those things checked off, I'm hoping to be able to get more of the little things done.

I know I still have to purchase a bunch of "little" things.
-Toasting flutes
-cake cutting set
-under the dress essentials
-Jr BM dress (have appt for the 29th)
-ring bearer pillows (possibly now having 2 ring bearers) or create a sign for the 2 of them to carry down the aisle.

And the list goes on and on....

I feel that way not so much about the little things, but I still don't have a bakery or florist.  We are meeting with one of each tomorrow and I a hoping I like them so I can just book them on the spot.

I can relate. I feel like I am all over the place and nothing is done. Even though I do have most of the big thing out of the way. I just pray that everything comes together.

I am soooo with you.  Feeling VERY overwhelmed.  And it is all the little things that are making me feel that way.  Funny how those little things add up.

I am beyond overwhelmed. I have:

-pre-cana
-centerpieces
-book hair & makeup
-register
-hotel blocking
-flowers
-reception dress
-rent linens
-find a bartender and buy booze
-invitations
-and on...

Just to add to the fun, work has decided I need to travel more. I already have 3 full weeks blocked off that I won't be able to do anything, with one week potentially being in Europe, so that extends to the weekends as welll.

We're date twins. I actually feel way ahead and feel like I don't have much to do
