what are you planning frustrations???

mrsnana

I swear, out of EVERYTHING that I have had to do, printing has been the most horrible thing I have had to do. It is the most frustrating thing ever. This not lined up right, or my cardstock is to thick or the color is coming out right, or whatever. and worse part is, I have two printers I am using and they are both doing similar things. What I can get to work on one I can't get to work on the other, but it's pain trying to figure out which one for which projects....

Ok this was a post AND a vent, lol!!!

Right now its the invitations, can't get the reception card wording right and its starting to frustrate me.

Right now its dealing with family drama that will inevitably affect the wedding.  The whole RSVP thing along with CPT time and bringing extra folks is where I stress the most because I know my family.  And of course they don't get that all this equals money coming out of my pocket.

Sticking to the budget. Everyday something new seems to pop up and it is driving me crazy!

I am Frustarated with trying to find the perfect Gown.  I am going this weekend to start my search.  Wish me luck.

What pisses me off the most is when people are passing along the wrong information to guests without consulting me and FI first.  Yesterday, FI told me that he was talking to his mom and she was telling people on his side of the family to just give us cash because we're not going to be able to get our gifts back to Washington where we live.  WTF?!  We set up the registry to where when people either go online or even in the store, the items can be shipped to our house.  That pissed me off like no other because she took it upon herself to make up the information when all she had to do was call FI and ask him what we wanted to do about gifts.  I swear that woman irks me!

Right now its finding the perfect favor and then finding it at a great price. We want to give something intresting, but also something people won't just throw away. Currently we want the little apple cider bottles with our own label on it. My mom found a comany to do the labels cheap, but now its finding the cinder. We used to see them everywhere for super cheap and now we can't seem to find them and when we do they are expensive.

No...I mean exactly this....lol! My FI is so much better with picking up his feet after I lit a fire under that ass. I threatened to call the whole wedding off. He's picking his tuxes & getting his fam's addresses as we speak.

OH my, it is sooooo good to know that I am not the only one with this as well. I have BEGGED hubby to go tux shopping, and i did the same thing, I told him well we are already married lets just call it off. He went that next day with his GM and got it done!!! so sad, lol!!!

My frustration is getting the cake. I had posted a while ago I had found a cake vendor but I cant justify spending 325 on cupcakes and a 2 tier cake.  Some say thats reasonable but its still too much money. I guess Im just that frugal bride.

well my biggest problem is everyone having their opinions but no one offering to pay for anything or taking into account that if I pick something it is because it is something I really want and it is what I like and it is what we can afford..... I get annoyed when FI comes to me and tells me about things people complain about, like the location and the price....but the people complaining can afford to come and they would enjoy the location if they just stop complaining......my sisters who are my MOHs complaining about the number of BMs I chose and my MOHs complaining about it being a outdoor ceremony...

CASH FLOW!!! I want to pay everything off, but I gotta "budget" my money. Whats that about?? LOL

RSVPs are freaking me out.  I think I gave people too much time to respond.  Not enough of FI people are decling like he promised. LOL

My FMIL...she has an opinion on everything...she wants to be in control of my wedding and when I refuse to listen to her she becomes disrespectful like she is the only one with ideas
