Feeling down

[Deleted User] · May 2012

Does anyone else feel like this entire process is harder then it needs to be? I am so done with all the drama with FMIL. I wish we would have had a destination wedding instead. Also my shower and B-party are coming up and I just feel like no one wants to go or be apart of it............ Sorry I am just feeling down today.

I'm sorry you're feeling down. The last three months are a stressful stretch, but remember that it will all be worth it when you walk down the aisle and see your future husband!

People will come to your shower and B-party, really. A B-party is fun even with three people, you will have a great time no matter what. Try to enjoy it without stressing! (Easier said than done, I know, but try).

Hopefully things will start looking up soon!

I understand how you are feeling!!

I agree with PP though that a birthday party can be fun with 3 people!! Keep your head up, it'll get better!!

I understand how you are feeling! But don't let it get you down! The last 3 months are the tough stretch with everything starting to come together, yet it feels like it's falling apart. You're not alone here! Let me tell you though, we are having an accidental destination wedding (started planning then moved out of state!) and it's not as fun as it sounds! I wish it were local!! Plus a lot of people will be declining the invite bc they don't want to make the trip...

Try to stay positive, there's lots of fun on the horizon! Showers are great, good food and friends, and gifts! Bach Parties are even better! I can't wait for mine (and my MOH, and one bridesmaid aren't attending...) it will all be ok!

I have been feeling the same way...I had my bridal shower a couple weeks ago and out of the 14 people who said they would be there only 6 showed up. Then it seems like no one wants to go to the bach party. Everyone keeps making excuses and my bridesmaid who is planning it can't get anyone to commit. I am ready to give up...on top of all this I am trying to lose weight and I seem to be stuck and feel like a fat blob! I keep telling myself everything will work out and all that matters is the love between my fiance and myself! Keep your chin up!

Thanks ladies for the positive thoughts. I will try to keep my head up!

</div><div>I am sorry that this happened to you. That is exactly what I am worried about. None of my friends have rsvp'd for either the shower or the bach party..... My sisters (MOH'S) will be contacting them in about a week to see if they will be coming. Keep your chin up in regards to losing weight! Take one day at a time. </div>

I feel the same way about doing a destination! If I could do it all over, I feel like it would be different. I am sure the day will be fun as it is planned, but it is difficult when I don't even really want it as planned anymore. I wish I could have about 20-30 closest family and just go out to dinner and forgo all the "wedding" hoopla with a reception. Oh well.

I was feeling this exact same way a few weeks ago. Like no one really wanted to be involved in anything, and to be honest, I was totally in a funk not wanting to even plan. I COMPLETELY agree with you that this whole wedding planning business is way harder than it needs to be, and thats actually what helped me. Remembering that no one will remember the centerpieces or the label on the envelope (yes, I'm doing clear labels- please don't tell the gils on the etiquette board!

) and after I let go of the stress, I started to make decisions, and things got better. Then, recently, my FSIL and FMIL volunteered to help with my invites and my mom starting getting more involved too. It will get better. Focus on one thing at a time and don't let other people not wanting to be involved stop you from enjoying this process and having some fun!

P.S. The August Board Rocks! I'm so glad to have this board, even if I don't post much just seeing the encouragement here is quite heartwarming.
