Burned the eff out

Is anyone else feeling completely over their wedding planning?  I haven't done crap in the last 2 months and I have no drive to get anything done.  I bought some invitations from Michael's but I haven't even started to THINK about printing them.  Ugh, I even have to buy a printer to do this!  This wedding is draining me, both emotionally and financially (even though we're trying to be smart with our $$) and I just want it to be over.  I want to go on my honeymoon and relax with my hub!

Anyone else having an "eff it" kind of day/week/life?

    I've had my moments yes of course.  But now that I am 4 days away, it has all been completely worth it.  I actually think I will be missing it.  Right now I am not feeling burned out at all, I'm very excited for it to be here!  You will get through this.  Just take some time away, that should help recharge your batteries.  I went through weeks of doing nothing wedding related, not even thinking about it or talking about it.  You still have time.  Don't stress yourself out!

    Oh for sure. There are definitely stretches of "I don't give a F" and productivity which is kind of how I work in general.

    I definitely have spurts where I don't want to do anything wedding related.  I think for a while there I didn't do anything WR besides come on here for maybe 3 continuous months.

    Luckily, you still have some time so you can take a break and not work on invites for a while.

    Yes of course, but I try to spread out all of the wedding stuff so I'm not going on wedding overload at any point. That has helped me a lot.

    I had that feeling a few times, but then I planned it over 18 months, so there wasn't really a feeling of being rushed.

    Just make a list of things you need to do, including the invitations. Maybe a spreadsheet, with need by dates.........that's what I did. I worked backward from the date of the wedding to the day I prepared this list, knowing that things like invitations had to be done earlier than ordering the flowers, etc. Then set the list aside until you feel like tackling it, but making sure you don't put everything off to the last minute.

    I know it's hard to manage wedding planning along with real life, a job, a relationship, and actually HAVING a life. But by making my list I was always on top of things and never felt panic.

    Good luck.

    I feel you for sure...many moments of not caring and mostly because I was making all the decisions.  I'm just ready for Friday to be here so that all those little details can finally come together.  Def take some time away.  Another good tip is one thing at a time, don't overwhelm yourself.  It'll all get done!
