Anybody else feel like they're not going to get it all done?

I just have to complian a little.
My wedding is only 5 months away and I have so much to do. I feel like I'm not going to get it all done. I just have no time!
I got a new job a few months ago so I'm always working. I work Saturdays and that's when everyone else is off so I never have a day to to anything with my mom or bridesmaids.
My Fiance works overnight so I see him a few hours on Mon (my day off) but we don't get too much done.
We still need a photographer, limo, florist, invatations-pretty much everything. We have the place, my dress & a DJ.
How am I going to get it all done???
Everything is so expensive and we're paying for most of it so I'm looking to find good deals on everything but it takes so long.
Me & my maid of honor went to RK bridal today and I just got more overwhelmed. All bridesmaid dresses look the same, I couldn't deside on anything & they said it takes 4 months so i need to make a decision now.
I'm sorry for babling, I just needed to get it out.
Thank you for listening
Anyone else this far behind?

I feel so incredibly far behind and often wonder if Ill get it all done in time! But I really believe it all works out somehow!! GL! Try not to stress too much. Dedicate certain days or times to planning, making calls, or appts. You'll get it all done.

Great advice......

Just make lists for certain days and make sure you DO them.....it really helps!

We're getting married in 35 days and we still dont' have our videographer, honeymoon, favors or BM/GM gifts........am I stressing??? Yah, a bit, BUT I know it will all get done.......

Just remember not to stress......easier said than done, I know....but it will be easier for the both of you in the end.

I think that we all feel that way. It's just gonna take some time. It's hard not to stress and it's good to let it out. besides, we all have each other to lean on!!!!!!!!!!

I got a ton of things done in th beginning, as of lately I can't say the same. FH works everyday but Monday and I work Mon-Fri so I tend to do the planning with my mom. We are paying for most of the wedding on our own as well.

Sooooo.....ok I saw you have a list of things you need to book, what do you want to start with ??
One bonus eventhough it stinks you'll go alne Monday venodrs won't be as crazy busy as a Saturday???

I know exactly what you mean!!! Sometimes I think about how close the wedding is I start freaking out!!! I have so much left to do and it's so overwhelming. But don't worry, 5 months is actually a lot of time. Some people plan their whole wedding in that much time, so it can be done. Just do one thing at a time and try not to let it stress you, try to enjoy it!!!

I had to plan my wedding in seven months. At month two, a lot of unexpected stuff came up in FH's family, so I was left to plan a lot of this alone. It will work out. You may have to make some decisions without a lot of input, and in my opinion, that can be better!
