Planning lull...

audreyjem

Anyone else not know what to do with themselves? I have nothing in my 12 months and before checklist, and the items that are coming up for the 9-12 months (woohoo!!) need to wait. I know its fine that I have nothing to do, but I want to feel productive!!!

Do a DIY project!

Yes DIY it up! I feel the same though..going to make STDs since E pics are in but after that kind of just sitting around, but that's nicer than scrambling!

I'm feeling the same way! We actually have a vendor or two we could book and I'm putting it off just so I feel like I have something to do!
We did take our epics yesterday which was a TON of fun! Waiting for those will keep me distracted for a while and then I can start working on our Save the Dates!
Other than that, I'm at a loss...

I'm having a hard time getting started. I just made an appointment to look at a venue, but then quickly realized it's a bad day, because it's suppose to rain that day. So I called them back with a better day for us, and haven't heard back yet. We'll see.

I do want to do some DIY projects, but when we first got engaged, I jumped right in and had a family member take e-pics and sent out e-announcements/STDs... so we are having pro e-pics taken, and I might make a prop or two, but STDs are already done. My hesitation with DIY is that 1. I dont have space to keep anything safe, and 2. I don't have money to play with (I'm on a very tight budget until my volunteer job is finished and I get something real!) and 3. I keep changing my mind! Haha...

but thanks for the suggestions. I wish I didn't rush in the beginning!!!

Once I get back our pro e-pics, I'll make a guest book, so I guess I can start planning for that

Same here.  Most of the big stuff is done.  I still need to meet with the florist and buy a dress but I don't ahve any little side projects to do beside invitations but I think it is too early to start those.  sigh

I am very very behind. I just want to jump in to planning, but I keep changing my mind on colors, and I don't have a dress yet. I have plenty of time, but still. I need to get on the DIY bandwagon!

I'm in the same place!  FI is out of the country for another week, and I've already done everything I can with what I have!  So I've been spending my time researching photographers.  I've read so many photo blogs in the past two weeks (since he left) that they all are the same in my head!  Haha! 

But if you don't have a florist or photographer or something, you could spend your time researching those!  This way, I'll have a whole slew of appts with photographers already set for once he gets back!

I fieel that way too! I mean I need to find a reception place and book it but I haven't had time to meet with them yet. Other than that I've just been trying to make lists for my showers and parties. Really wish I could find wedding stuff to do!

I say do DIY projects or organize the things you will tackle next.
