Does anyone else feel like they are losing control???

I have all of the major vendors booked but I've made changes as the months have gone by (ex - got rid of one BM, changed flowers, changed hairstyles like 5 times, etc). I feel like I'm losing control of everything. In january i have to start ordering invitations and get done with the small things but I don't feel like I have a grasp on things. Maybe it's the holidays that through me off, anyone else feel like this?

I think that you are thinking WAYYY to much about your wedding day. Please don't freak out Take it easy & do one thing at a time. No one was born with the ability to master the art of wedding planning. We are all new to this whole stage in our lives!! As long as all your major vendors are booked, you will be fine. They are professionals. Have you ever considered hiring a Day-of Coordinator??

I've been planning my wedding since March of 2004, so at this stage, I feel like a friggen master at this. The keys to planning a successful wedding is organization, preparation & knowing that there are things that are going to go wrong that you have absolutely NO CONTROL over. Organize all of your contracts.seperate them in folders.. clip out photos from magazines & keep them in a safe place so you can refer to them later.
Prepare yourself.. Make a list of everything that needs to be done and slowly take care of each task one by one. Don't overwhelm yourself because your only going to stress yourself out-that's the absolute LAST THING you need at this point.

Also, always remember that we are all here for you-that's why I LOVE this website. The girls here are always willing to help.

Lots of luck & take it easy girl.. remember that you are marrying the man of your dreams. In the end, isn't that all that matters anyway???

ME!!!! Last night I just started laughing for absolutely no reason, and then the laughter turned into tears. FH was making jokes about calling Bellvue. When he asked what was wrong all I could choke out was that I was overwhelmed.

Don't stress, date twin! Janie is right - make a list. I have a calendar for 06, and at the bottom of each month, I made notes of all the things I want to accomplish for that month.
Just because you've changed your mind, doesn't mean your losing control!
