I'm in a rut

Since the huge blow up with my FILs, I literally haven't wanted to do anything WR at all.  I don't feel like that is going to change any time soon, but after the holiday's I know I need to get on some stuff.
Inspire me, ladies.  What types of WR things are you doing?

    We just registered this last weekend and my FI bought his suit that he'll be wearing for the wedding. My BMs also picked a weekend for my bachelorette party and shower and are all driving or flying in, which I NEVER expected and am pretty giddy about. I've also made checklists for things like what needs to get dropped off at the reception venue ahead of time, the ceremony venue, what I need to have packed the day of, a timeline and where pictures fit in and who needs to be there for them, and honeymoon packing. I kinda love checklists. They put my mind at ease.

    Next up is finalizing and buying everything for our invitations and get started making those. I'm dreading figuring out the wording. I'm also going to be buying and stamping bags for our candy buffet.

    Sorry about the blow up. :(  Enjoy the holidays with your FI and hopefully that will take your mind off things!

    We got the wording for our invites figured out and settled on where to order everything from.  We're also waiting to knock more off our list until after the holidays.  Then, full steam ahead!  Next step is getting his and his groomsmen's attire figured out.

    Right now, I'm not doing anything WR.

    After Christmas, though, I'm going to my parents for a few days and my mom and I are going to work on some stuff (corks for the escort cards, table numbers, buying odds and ends stuff). 

    In January, we'll figure out FI's and the GM's suits. We'll have our cake tasting and make decisions about that. I think we'll also start working on the invitations. I tentatively have a dress fitting on January 26th but if I lose weight before then, they want to hold off a little longer so they aren't doing a bunch of alterations (my dress fits almost perfectly right now). 

    I'm sorry you're not feeling it right now. Maybe just take this time off from everything, enjoy the holidays, and get back into it next month!

    We both have off around the holidays so we plan on getting a lot done. FI and I are going to check out tuxes, book our shuttles and limos, just got our invites in the mail a couple days ago so I plan on working on assembling them over the next month. We also are scouting out Rehearsal Dinner venues and the different Bridal suites at the hotel. In January, I plan on scheduling my hair and makeup trial. Oh and we hopefully will book a few hotels for the honeymoon.

    We're lucky because of our wedding planner, but our tasks are figure out invitations, talk details about the menu, and investigate FI and GMs outfits.  I've also got a design meeting with our planner after the holidays while I'm up north, thank goodness.

    I totally hear ya on the post-blow up rut.  I had one and didn't even look at Pinterest for a solid 3 weeks.  It's okay for that time.  Surely the clock ticks forward every day, but there are PLENTY of days, and you gotta take care of yourself :)

    Take the rest of the month off - sometimes its nice to have a wedding-planning break, especially after everything you've been through.

    I'm trying to finalize ceremony details before the end of the year (timeline, vows, etc) and with that, get invite wording done so FI can design them in the new year. And hopefully get a clue on centerpieces (I think I've changed my mind 5 times about what I want)

    I'm not doing much WR stuff, although FI and I created a registry at The Container Store yesterday- didn't know they did them!

    My sister is coming home on friday, and while she's here she, my mom & I are going dress shopping for them.

    I completely understand your rut ... I hope everything gets better for you soon. I haven't done anything WR in a couple of months and I still have a lot to do. I'm definitely procrastinating but I've been focusing so much on losing weight that I've put a lot of wedding tasks aside. I really need to get going!

    I'm definitely taking the rest of the month off from wedding planning, mostly because I'm too busy with holiday stuff.  In January, our celebrant is going to give us a rough draft of the ceremony to look over, we have our tasting, and our photographer says she wants us to have a planning meeting.  I also wanted to take each person's name and put them on an index card.  Then I can number the index cards and write a coordinating number that will be on the rsvp card and use those cards to make seating charts/arrangements.  None of that seems fun now!  Lol.

    It's definitely understandable why you would feel that way. I definitely felt like that after I lost my job. You'll feel better soon. 

    I'm working on small details right now. My aisle runner is done, and Im working on my veil (adding crystals).  Other than that, I'm holding off until after the new year to get re-inspired.
