single digits..... holy smokes!!!!! what do you ladies have left to do? are you stressing yet?

cpm1223 · May 2012

YAY!!!!

left to do: finalize & print programs, attach place cards to sand dollars, buy the rest of the candy bar candy.

stressed about FI's ring, it just came in the other day and it's too big

not sure if another one can be ordered in time. Other than that, I'm surprisingly not stressed out too much!

We have our final venue walk through this afternoon (with the planner, catering, and florist).

I will be printing all weekend (place cards, menus, programs, etc.).

That’s pretty much all I have to do. Oh! And wrap the gifts for our parents.

The only thing stressing me out is last minute guest changes. I really need to learn to say NO. I went to the gym this morning and my trainer said, "Oh your mom was here the other day and said XY & Z should come to the wedding!"...really?

Holy cow! I can't believe it! Next week at this time I will be on a ferry heading to Martha's Vineyard! SQUEE!

Not much left....I've managed to print my welcome letters, place cards, and water bottle labels. So, now I have to put together the OOT bags, make cookies for place cards, and PICK UP MY DRESS!

Buy flower girl and ring barer gifts
I think thats it!

I'm stressing out more about leaving work than the wedding! LOL Wedding is all done except I need to clean the house and put away all my DIY project stuff that's taken over the living room for the last 2 months.

Work is stressing me because we found out LAST week that we have an audit the day I come back from vacation. yuck!!

Actually, my stress is going down these days because I realize I'm at a point where some of the small stuff doesn't matter. What I mean by that is the little things that I always thought I wanted to get done but aren't necessary (think the cute ideas you get from Pinterest - lol). The main things I need to finish up are: Pick up my dress, finish printing the programs and escort cards, assemble OOT bags and wrap WP gifts. I have all of next week off though, so I'm feeling good.

Single digits!! Feels so good!

I can't believe it. I've been stressing because there's so many little things that still need to get done.

1) We just heard from the officiant who will be marrying us yesterday. He was supposed to send us a rough draft of our vows like, 2 weeks ago! We finally got his rough draft and have to go over that.

2) Give final head count to the venue for the reception.

3) Select a first dance song.

4) Get the favor/escort tags done. (I'm tying escort tags to the favor to avoid unneccessary cost of favors to individuals and just to each "party" invited.) The favor is a personalized golf ball with our names and date on it with an icon showing a couple in a car with the sign "just married" and a tee that reads: Happily Ever After. Putting the pair in an organza bag, tying personalized ribbon to it, again with our names and date on it. Holding the escort tag to the organza bag.

5) Write up a day of schedule.

6) Buy the rest of the centerpieces.

7) Drop off the veil with the boutique that will be prepping my dress.

8) Get someone to record the wedding (just asking a family member).

9) Wrap BMs' and parents' gifts. Don't know what the FI's plan is for getting his GMs or parents gifts.

10) Get honeymoon squared away.

That's just to name a few. Who knows what else I'm forgetting at the moment. Some things I'm just letting go, because I have no time to deal with it. Like programs, getting gifts for the RB or FG. I also, have a Ring Master. I doubt they'd remember or care to have some silly picture frame or something like that claiming that title. The FI tells me not to stress. That the only thing to be concerned with is us getting married. Nice in thought, but, when there's so many things left to do, and he claims it will be taken care of. Hard to relax when he doesn't keep me posted and only when I bug him about it, am I seeing him do it. He has a lot on his plate right now. Since we're also in the process of buying a house to be built, he's having to take care of some of the wedding stuff as well. Whew.

So excited, stressed and exhausted... Such mixed feelings. Have so much to do and have it all in my head, if it write it down, I'll for get it and lose the paper. Ha.
I hope you all have a wonderful wedding day. We can finally start watching the weather, 9 day forecast in NJ is 71 and partly cloudy...
