Under the 100 day mark! Any advice?

Last week my FI and I were watching ESPN and they announced "the start of the NFL is in 99 days".  Our wedding is strategically planned around this day and we looked at each other like... our day is 100 days away!  My ticker also just jumped to under the 3 month mark.  I'm pretty excited! 

I feel like we are in a good place... all the big stuff is done and booked.  The BM dresses came in yesterday and my dress & veil is coming by the end of June.  Invitations are being ordered and going out soon.  Other stuff has to wait until we get closer to the wedding.

For those under the 100 day mark and any MGs.... do you have any advice for the homestretch?  Did something take you longer than expected?  Is there anything we can do now to make the day less stressful?  Thanks so much!

    The best advice I can give is : don't sweat the small stuff.  When we got down to three months out we encountered a lot of little stupid issues, and I did my best to just roll with it, and I am really glad I did because it made things a lot less stressful.  

    Also, Wine helps with everything haha.

    I second Felicia.  And I'd add that if you're doing any DIY, work on it a little each day.  The time will fly by!

    This is a little thing, but I'd suggest it - if you haven't had your shower yet, pick up some thank you cards so as soon as that day comes you can work on them a little each day/night and get them done.  I hate waiting on things like that and I knew if I waited too long, other stuff would come up that had to get done.

    Enjoy it because I can't believe I'm under the 50-day mark.  Unfortunately/fortunately (depending on how you look at it) I can't do too much right now.  I'm waiting on responses so table arrangements and place cards have to wait.  A lot of the other stuff that has to be done I have done.

    Like PPs - don't sweat stuff.  I'm really trying to not to stress about stuff I can't control and just make sure I have as much done as early as possible so I can enjoy the planning and day of.

    Good luck!

    <div>I agree with Felicia.  The night before my shower, I had to drive up to my parents in north Jersey.  I sat in traffic for three hours and I was just really sick of making the drive all the time.  When I got there we were about to celebrate my brother's bday and and I realized I forgot something my dad needed.  It wasn't even a big deal, but all the stress and pressure just got to me.  I went up to my old bedroom and just sobbed for about five minutes.  There will be a few times when it feels like nothing will come together and you just want everything to be over with. Just hang with it, and things that can't be fixed or are too complicated to be fixed just let go, it will all work itself out.  </div>
