I'm not sure if it was so bright for me to have discovered that wedding ticker, because its totally freaking me out. I have 5months to plan a wedding for 150guest & all I have accomplished is hiring a Wedding Planner. I think I am officially having a Heart Attack!!!

Thanks for Letting Me Share.

    Get the bigger things out of the way like Florist, Venue, Photographer and Videographer and the rest will fall into place

    I agree with Beth! Get all the big vendors out of the way. Then when you get free time think about the little details. Then buy all your little things as you go along (toasting flutes, cake cutting set, guest book, etc..) Have your wedding planner help you out with whatever they can. Just breathe and take one thing at a time. Good luck!

    Thank you girls... Luckily I hired her to help me with everything. Though because of my time line, she is on me like WHITE ON RICE. Sending me links to different venues & vendors that she wants me to see & get a feel for so she can make appointments for me to meet with them. Which I am not complaining, just FREAKING OUT. I have been looking at most of you girls Planning Bio's & some of you are a year out & have pratically all your vendors & I have 5 months and only have 1. YIKES!!!

    Agreed--- Big ticket items first... You will think of tons of the small details later but as long as you have the main items down (venue, DJ/Band, photo/videographer, florist, catering) you will be all set.... Helpful hint!- Once you book one of these they can generally give you a list of other vendors for the other big ticket items you are looking for, just ask for recommendations!Laughing

    Most imporatantly -- RELAX!  Although I have these mini freakouts and my major freakout is soon to be two months away (wedding Oct. 1) I tend to think more clearly when I can sit back and enjoy it.  To help with this I have added my mom and sisters onto the "Creative Crew" who offer me ideas, suggestions & help in putting things together.

    Happy Planning!

    Try to focus on what is in front of you. I get really overwhelmed when we have numerous vendor meetings in one day but I'm from oot so I have to pack it all in. Having a wedding planner will seriously help I promise

    My best friend planned her wedding in 3 months, and everything turned out just fine...except that she forgot to brush her teeth the day of. Because they had so little time to plan, their motto was "Don't sweat the small stuff." Maybe you can think of a little motto too to help you feel more confident. Here's mine for you, "It will all work out."

    THANK YOU GIRLS... I actually met with my planner this evening and I expressed that I was starting to steal my daughters Animal Crackers & Cheetos; plus I was coming down w/ some type of rash from the stress.
    She served me some wine & told me to "Breath & Relax" & she is breaking things down for me.
    Meetings I have to attend:
    • Venues
    • Photographer
    • Videographer
    Meeting I don't have to attend:
    • Caterer
    • Florist
    • Linens
    • Chairs
    Which is making my life a whole lot easier.
