Anyone Else?

in May 2013 Weddings
Anyone else having spurts of being overwhelmed? I'm feeling good with how planning is going.. we don't have a lot to do but yet we do. I just get these mini panic attacks of what needs to be done, what we should do, wish FI would help more, money money money.. I just want the day here already so we can enjoy it! I want to make sure we have enough, and it's a nice wedding.. and ugh, just hate the feelings of worry..

    Every once in a while it happens to me.  It's normally trying to work in wedding appointments with my crazy work and class schedule.

    YESSSS!!! It comes in waves and I go from feeling bored (nothing to plan) to overwhelmed (don't know where to start). The image of me walking aimlessly through Hobby Lobby is a perfect example. When I start to feel overwhelmed, its usually just time for me to take a day or two off from planning and get back to it in a few days, when I'm inspired again...

    I get this way with money and the "to do" list. We have so much done already, but all of it just has deposits down, so we still have to pay it all off sometime before the wedding. Plus I have a large balance due for school so I can graduate in Jan, so that definitely gets to me.
    Then the "to do" list... like I said we have so much done, but the "smaller" things such as the limo, hotel block, invitations, and cake (which a friend is doing for us), I feel like we just keep putting off, even though I know we have time.
    I definitely feel you about wishing it was just here so we can enjoy the day and head off to the HM!

    Me too. FI tells me to not worry, but then when I talk about whats worrying me, he gets worried too! I think its cause we are big planners and like things done by a certain time - unfortuntely some things have just been taking a bit longer than expected.
    Its so hard telling ourselves we have time, time just seems to be slipping away - its October already!

    I feel overwhelmed about money and in-laws sometimes, but not with the actual planning.  When we get married, we will have been engaged 22 months.  Whenever we've had free time, I've just planned to get something wedding related done instead of thinking "oh now it's time to do x and let's find time to do it now".

    Same here!  One minute I'm not stressed and think I have all the time in the world to get the rest of the stuff done - and the next minute I'm freaking out and making lists and feeling very overwhelmed!  I think it's because when I first got engaged I was ALWAYS doing stuff for the wedding - trying to find the venue, dress, flowers, photographer, etc and then once a lot of this stuff was booked, I felt like I could take a little break and now I'm having a hard time getting back into it!

    I had one of those moments last night. I compiled all the emails, texts and FB inbox messages of guest addresses into a spreadsheet last night and then looked at our budget on the other tab. Both sets of parents have contributed but we still probably have $4-5k to come up with ourselves.....then I think, how am I ever going to pay off the credit cards at this rate?

    I'm not worried about getting things done - just stressing over money. :(

    I do, it's more or less money concerns along with the guest list.

    We only have small things left to do, deposits have been made with our big vendors so I need favors, gifts, tuxes things like that.

    I feel overwhelmed because I know the wedding is really creeping up. I took for granted all the free time I had this summer. Now that school is back, making any sort of appts. is extremely difficult. Still really flustered over finalizing the guest list too. I know we have most of the big checks done, but I feel like right before the wedding, everything is going to come piling down at once.
