Holy fuckballs, guys! I am getting married in 10 days! I am losing it. No sleep for 3 nights now and all I can do is think about my huge list of things I have to get done. Stress is at an all time high!

 

I need soothing mom noises and all the adivce you can give to help me calm down.

 

Things I still need to do:

-Finish seating chart and make my poster for it (names listed alphabetically and followed by table. No escort cards).

-Coordinate airport pickups for OOT guests with FI. So far I have one he has three, not super fair, so I need to even that out.

-Figure out when the hell I am going to be able to get my nails done.

-Finish program sign for the ceremony. Instead of a bunch of paper, we are just writing the program on a board, framing it, and putting it on an easle.

-Pick up my dress next Wednesday.

-Get my stuff waxed next week (ugh!)

-Buy my sexsaytime undies for the honeymoon (so lost on this!)

-NOT HAVE A HEART ATTACK!

-Make sure FI and the guys get their tuxes.

-Organize everything I need to bring the day of.

-Get my rings cleaned/inspected one last time.

-Pack for the honeymoon.

 

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

ETA:

I forgot I also have to finish wrapping the WP gifts and finish writing letters to my BMs (I am writing them each a letter letting them know how much they mean to me--to be opened when they are alone).

    Breathe lady, you've got this! Put things in order of what HAS to be done (like not stranding people at the airport) versus what you'd like to do but won't ruin your life if it gets skipped (program sign, probably not critical in the grand scheme of things). Don't be afraid to let FI pick up some slack on pick-ups - he likely can't help equally with all things (he can't chop your hands off to get them manicured for you), so that's ok if he has more.

    SaraBrideSoon - keep a cool head and everything will be done well and on time! That list is great: you should use it and tick if off accordingly! You seem well prepared to me (even the waxing part lol). Take a deep breath and tackle everything one by one. It's so close, how exciting!!

    If your man is anything like mine, don't even worry about the underwear. I don't remember which ones I brought on our honeymoon, and it was still awesome. Also, the guys should be able to get their tuxes themselves. You'll be fine!

    I'm 25 days out - and I feel you sister!

    We are doing a board for our ceremony as well. I haven't started it and it's freakkinnng me out. 

    How many days do you have off? I'm getting my nails done the Thursday before my Saturday wedding. Is that an option for you?

    Ugh...airport pick ups. It's nice to do for people - but honestly, they are adults. I was so relieved when my sister told me they had booked a rental car and if anyone else is flying in and out around the same time as them they'd be happy to have another passenger or two. Luckily most of our OOT guests are driving. If your FI isn't upset about having more pick-ups while your'e doing other stuff - leave it be. Check with him if that works.

    BREATHE. I keep telling myself certain things will get forgotten, certain things you will run out of time. But guess what? If you have the important big stuff - all will be good and people won't even notice!

    SaraBrideREALSoon is more like it! 

    Advice: Any kind of monotonous task you need to conquer, put on some uptempo music, hammer down some caffeine, and rock it the fuck out. You'll get it done faster than you'd expect if you do it that way.

    I'm the fuck     out.

    There, there, it will all be fine.  Just tackle your list in order of importance.

    I am including getting your nails done as important because you need to take 40 minutes in all of this to relax and let someone pamper you.  

    Also.....this is so exciting!!!

    You got this, lady! You list looks just like mine from a week ago. Now I'm three days out and now all I have left is finish escort cards, get manicure, and get marriage license and dress (which is happening today), then enjoy family time! You'll get it all done! Organize your list by importance. let FI do more airport pick ups than you...most of that stuff on the list can't be done by him (or can't be done by him to your liking) anyway. And for undies, I recommend Aerie, if you have one near you. They have cute lace undies 7/$26 in all kinds of cute cuts. FI likes the cheekies and mini cheekies (which is a cross between a cheeky and a thong...it shows lots of booty without being completely up your asscrack).
    I like the 5/$20 ones at Target in these styles, too.
