Freaking out

I am getting married sept 1st of this year and I only have the venue, photography & videography, dj, officiant, and my dress. I have the girls dresses but they are not ordered yet hopefully this week. I stopped doing stuff the pass month because of all the drama with our parents turned me off. But I feel like I have so much to do and no time! What would you should I do next? HELP!

Re: Freaking out

It seems to me like you have a lot done already! I'd look into getting your dress and the florist locked down next.

You have plenty of time...don't stress!!!

You have gotten a lot done! No need to stress out! i planned my wedding in 5 mths and if i can do it anyone can! Just sit down and write out a list of things you need to get done and when and you will be fine!

Re: Freaking out

You're on the right track. Definitely make yourself lists. Put the florist, dress ordering and invites on top!!

Re: Freaking out

It's fine. Just because half the brides book things way in advance, doesn't mean you have to. My friend is planning her entire wedding in 9 months. I didn't book many of my vendors until around the 4 or 5 month mark and I only had ONE vendor tell me they were unavailable.

Re: Freaking out

Thanks ladies! I have a list but it feels so long!!! Next tuesday my mom and I are going to look at flowers/centerpieces. Last week was a waste because I was watching my parents dogs while they went to flordia. This week is a waste because I work every night but Saturday. My parents just bought a house in flordia and they are stressing me out about watching their three dogs....gggrrrr So the next things will be flowers/centerpieces and ordering the girls dresses....

Re: Freaking out

Thank you so much!!! I'm sure it will all work out. My parents bought a house in flordia and call me because they need me to watch their dogs again this week!!!! It looks like my sister step in. So the girls dresses won't be ordered until the week and my mom is standing me up on Tuesday! Lovely but whatever I'll go shopping on my own...I'm done getting blown off! My dad's mad because I haven't called him back! I work 7pm to 730am. When I'm home I sleep to get up and do it again. Really?!?! gggrrrr
