April 2013 Weddings

planning "slump" -___-

Hello April ladies we have 5 months to go! (cant count april bc its OUR month) :)

We've had alot going on, moving into the future inlaw's home until our home is done being built at the end of october! So planning has been a bit scatter brained lately! So far we've got the make up, venue, honeymoon and photographer all in paying contracts!  The dress bought, and other little bits and pieces of whats needed for the wedding bought! BUT, its getting to where I find myself not going over wedding plans and "whats next" every week! HELP! how do I get out of this wedding planning slump!

Re: planning "slump" -___-

  • What else needs to be done? I wouldn't worry about not going over plans and doing things every single day, especially now that you've got all the big things settled. The craziness inevitably slows down. :)
  • Well, little things like getting center piece items and wedding party/ parents gifts! I still dont have a set visual of what I want the pavillion to look like on the day of so thats whats stressing me out I believe!!!!!!!!

  • I get what you mean. I have so much set and, besides a few contracts that we just haven't sent in yet but are basically booked, we only have setting the menu and me doing my hair/make up trial set for the next few months. After SO many months of craziness, it feels weird. However, I'm just trying to enjoy. It'll be nice to actually be able to spend some time with my fiance, in our apartment, with our lovely little cat. So...I'm going to try to enjoy the ride until January and invitations, calligraphy, seating charts, favors, and all that craziness starts in again.
  • We just ordered our save the dates so I'm expecting them to come in the next two weeks! I did away with the seating chart and menu cards they're all rolled into our venue and I didnt want to have to tell people where to sit!!!! it just feels like the little things add up quickly!!!! but you're def. right its gotta slow down and you have to take time to enjoy all of the bliss! :)

  • Yup I'm in that same slump.. haven't done much lately except pick BM dresses and going for our menu tasting next week. And searching for wedding bands... Well it sounds like a lot, but it's been scattered out and doesn't feel like a lot at all haha. All deposits are paid, we have our 6 month deposit for the reception venue coming up, and after that is smooth sailing until invitations are ready to go out.. Craziness!

    I was just looking at my to do list and realized we're coming up on the 4-5 month point of things that need to be done... which just feels CRAZY.. I feel like I was JUST excited about being in the single digit month countdown! 

    It's coming quickly ladies...

  • I have been in a slump too. I don't even like thinking about planning because it stresses me out. We have so much going on right now that I would rather get done before anything else; and I have honestly never been this busy before. For the most part I am doing okay, I have all the major things booked. I just need to decide on little things, like center pieces and what not. My fiance still needs to ask some people to stand up with us. Oh it would be nice if I picked out a dress for my girls too, lol.

    But it will get done and it will be awesome!!!

  • I am just starting to get stressed and overwhelmed. We are 6 months out! So crazy how time flies. A lot of our stuff is done, but I am stressing about money, all the projects that I keep procrastinating about, alllll of the upcoming meetings we will be having with the vendors! I can't believe our days are almost here.
