This might sound bad...

But, I just have to vent a little. I know this probably sounds so bad but, we have a FLOOD of people coming on Thursday for our Saturday wedding. which is fine, I am happy they will spend a few days before our big day. But, I feel like everyone who is coming early is like:
we can help. we're coming to help. we'll help. we are there to help. let us help. tell us what you need help with. help. help. help. and all i can think of is that all these people are gonna be up my a$$ starting on Thursday. Dont get me wrong, i REALLY appreiciate all the offers of help but it is really overwhleming me because I just envision all these people wanting to help and then the setting up gets like crazy cause there are too many people. does that make sense?!
And, i am super organized and i packed up all the boxes and bins with our wedding stuff and i feel like if too many hands are unpacking and put things places, that is when things will get lost..............
i know this sounds like i am being crazy i am just worried that i will get overwhelemed with all these people there and like i wont have a handle on anything... ya know?!

yikes, i probably sound wicked bad....but i just had to vent. one week!

    Nah - you don't sound bad. Just tell them "Thanks so much for offering to help. I can't think of
    anything right now, but I'll definitely call you if something comes up. See you Saturday!"


    GL!!

    I agree. People are always saying "let us know if you need any help." I don't, but thanks. I'm dropping my stuff off and my coordinator will deal with it. It also annoys me when they say "stay calm." Okay. This does NOT make me calm.

    LOL to PP. I totally think you're right about being nervous about everyone coming to "help." Maybe in preparation, assign remedial tasks so they feel like they're helping, but they aren't in the way.  Something like "make sure theres no bugs in the flowers," "dust off the silverware," or "arrange table names in alphabetical order." Then again, I have vendors in charge of all that stuff, so I'm not even sure I could come up with stupid stuff to keep them busy- you might be in the same boat.  But I know how you feel, everyone and their mom wants to "help," but seriously, I'm not trusting anyone with anything major.  I get it, dawg. *nods in empathy*
