Sooo my friend text me and said "What all do you have to do for the wedding still?" and I first I said Ohhh... Not much. So I started listing everything... and I had a mini hear-attack! I HAVE A LOT LEFT TO DO!!! haha! WOAH! We are so close!!! Needless to say I am spending my afternoon working on wedding stuff!

Yeah it is pretty scary when you start thinking of everything to do. I am a list maker so that has been my strategy, but it seems with each thing I cross off there is another I forgot to add!

This is me!  Perfect example....last night I finished printing my invitations.  I went to cross it off but realized I didn't write to assemble them, address them, or stuff the envelopes.  SO I could cross off printing but added three tasks between that and mailing them.  I keep my lists chronologically and as a whole it is an overwhelming list.  I try to only focus on the list for this month or week so I don't go crazy!  It is mainly little details from here but still the legnth of the list as a whole is overwhelming.

i make lists too, but it really stresses me out because there are some things that i simply cannot do until the day before.

<div>Yeah this is a big frustration of mine as well. Half of the things on my list are kind of "hurry up and wait" sort of situations. That and having to depend on other people to get things done or plan them out. Oh and money. my pockets hurt.</div>

My pockets hurt too.  I went from having almost $6000.00 in my savings to $1500.00!   Yeeeouch!

I gave up on the list thing. Just about everything I have yet to do is either a meeting with a vendor, a payment, or something I need to assemble but do not have the time or resources to do yet. I also tried using the checklist on TK but some of the crap on here is so excessive! I checked them off just to get down to the stuff I actually needed.

I hate that a lot of the stuff I have left to do, my FI has to do, he is really good with Illustrator and photoshop and he is making all the signs, the invitations, "meet the maids"

but its serisously like pulling teeth with him to get any of it done

@AngB.... Left on my list is....

Meet with our coordinator
Plan our food!
Find a hair/make-up person
FIND A PERSON TO MARRY US! Yeppp... this needs to be my #1 priority and I keep putting it off.... Ugh! Just for the record we thinkkkk we know who we are using... just have to set it all up.
Transportation
Mother of the Bride/Groom dresses
Music list

Ummm.... I'm sure there is more.
