Is anybody else freaking out?

MrsSmithN2012 · June 2012

We have 3 1/2 months until our wedding, and I'm starting to freak out a little. There is SO MUCH that still needs to be done, and it seems like every time I plan on taking care of something, something else comes up that pulls me away from it. Ugh!

It'll get done. Don't worry.

I have had my moments like that too. I find making lists of what needs to be done and deciding on priorities really helps me to feel accomplished. Plus, it helps to check something off the list and see that even though there is a lot left to do, I AM making progress.

Yes. GO do the groom. Great for stress relief.

</div><div>I was pretty stressed out 3 months before my wedding, too. Then I took a deep breath, made a list of things I needed to do, and started tackling them. Honestly, so many of the little details that I was so stressed over, I ended up not even noticing the day of anyway because it went so fast, and I was just happy to be celebrating with my new husband and all of my friends/family. </div>

Make a list and take care of the big things. There will come a point where you have to let the little things go. No one will notice the tiny details you didn't have time for. Really.

Agree with the list making, and maybe ask for help from your friends, FI or your mom or something as well to take some of the stress off you.

I got stressed out a few weeks before the wedding, and my mom could tell so she came for a weekend to see me and help out. It definitely helped me.

I love you!

And yes I agree, the guests will not realize you didn't have the little flower pompador you didn't have time to make (just and example), you will be the only one who will know. And really the day of, you wont care once your walking down that aisle ;) Relax and go drink some wine!

How is your month board? Mine is pretty supportive/helpful.

Take a day to not do or think about anything wedding-related. Go get a manicure or go out for coffee with a friend, read a book, take a walk, whatever to just de-stress. Then get back into it the next day with a clear head. Make a list and prioritize from most to least important the things that still need done. For me, it always feels good to be able to check something, no matter how small, off a to-do list.

I agree with the others that guests won't notice the small things. They won't know that you were supposed to have handmade table overlays or DIY ceremony programs, etc. Just don't tell them! Make sure all the big stuff is done, then tackle as much of the details as you can but don't worry if they don't all get done.

Make a 3 day list. FI and I would sit down and put everything we should (and could easily do if we focused) in 3 days and put it on the fridge. We love checking stuff off.

The closer I got I began making WR and NWR lists just to help keep stuff straight in my head and make sure I was doing everything I needed to.

You'll be fine.

Thank you ladies! I normally am not a "freak out" kind of person. But work has been stressing me out big time lately too, which is not typical and isn't helping, ha ha!

This is great advice. When I started getting too stressed, DH and I would have a non WR date night and do something fun to blow off steam. It really helps. :)

I do think it's normal to freak out at some point, especially when you think of all the stuff you want to do for the wedding. It will come together though, even when it feels like it won't, it will and it will be fabulous.
