Just wondering if anyone can offer any words or wisdom or advice.... I am feeling a little stressed about the mounting costs of my wedding. I feel like this is all for everyone else's enjoyment and I am so ready to go on my honeymoon as that is the only thing that's truly mine.

Re: A little stressed
pick what is important to you and what is not. For me food and music and a veil were my splurges. I went budget on the dress, flowers, and skipped the favors. Think about which parts of the wedding are important to you. I did my rsvp's by email, which helped me on invites and postage. Good luck!

Re: A little stressed
I might be wrong, but sound like you have some pressure to do things a certain way. I suggest you simplify where you can and let people know that if they don't like it, they can help fit the bill.
I'm sorry if I misjudge but thats exactly how I felt when I talked to my aunt about all the things she's expecting at my wedding. Like who am I doing this for exactly??
hang in there..you two look like a beautiful couple...never lose sight of the love...keep each other in mind through the whole process and don't break that bond for anybody else...it's what you guys want...no one else is getting married that day....

Don't let outside influences stress you. Do what you like and don't be afraid to step back from wedding planning to clear your head. When people start going crazy with the wedding stuff, just step outside, let the cell go to voicemail, or slip away...

Exactly... as selfish is this is going to sounds...Its your day. You can't please everyone. Figure out what is most important to FH and you and plan your budget based on that. Cut corners on the things that aren't as important to you. Then you guys will be happy and that is what matters it is your day after all. I have to keep reminding myself of this. I keep saying its my day I am going to do what i want... its sounds all good and well but then I find myself scrambling to make everyone happy and that will never happen. I will run myself ragged trying and at the end of the day ball my eyes out. So just make it about you and FH since that is what this day is about anyway. Good luck!!!

Re: A little stressed
ugh, i understand how u feel. there's so many componets to a wedding and it can be hard to choose between a want and a need. Even though i have 2 yrs to plan my wedding, it still feels overwhelming because just when i want to put my money towards something wedding related, something non wedding related will take priority. hang in there though, in the end everything will be worth it.

Re: A little stressed
You will never be able to please everyone, so thats why we are just pleasing ourselves. This day belongs to you and FH. Yes, it is expensive, but like another bride said, splurge on certain things, not everything. No one is going to miss top of the line favors, expensive centerpieces, a 10 piece band, or a $5k dress. Do what you like, and dont feel like you have to appease people.
I found a dress I love for cheap and our invitations were so reasonable. we are splurging on the photo/video, honeymoon, hair/makeup. dont worry,, just yes people to death and do what you want.
