for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

are you guys as stressed and overwhelmed as I am? I thought if I did as much as I could early on, got everything lined up early, I would be in a pretty comfy position right now.

It's soooo not true! I still have to take care of so much. The last minute DIYs are killing me. All week I've been working on the program (full catholic mass), the place cards, and the favor bottles (washing and sticking little personalized stickers on them and capping..)

I bought all the supplies a while ago, and STILL I managed to have to go to staples, michaels, and a stationary store about 5 times in the last week.

This weekend, the first dress fitting for both me and mom, and getting the wedding bands engraved. Next week, having the priest proofread my program, and then printing /assembling.
All this while working full-time!

when will it end????

Are you in a similar situation?

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

try to call on your friends and BP as much as possible for help!!!!

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

For some reason I was fine right up until this week... OMG, less than 2 months to go. Between work and planning the wedding it's been nuts. Now they want to fly my to CA next month for meetings.

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

I'm actually Ok.. I'm not stressed but I am super busy. I feel like I have something to do everyday. I would love a day of relaxation but I have a feeling that isn't going to happen until the honeymoon.

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

you guys are making me nervous...like i'm missing something...

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

yeah, I actually woke up this morning with 2 pimples. I haven't had a pimple in a decade!!!



I sort of can't call upon my bridal party, becuase one girl is sick, and the other is in oregon! Mom is about to have a meltdown. Something about my shower, but I don't know what.

The one thing that is helping me is my enormous 'to do list'. It lets me keep tabs on what still needs to be done....

Our apartment looks like a stationary store that blew up.....

I'm glad we can share the last minute stresses....

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

I was so stressed the other day that I picked up the phone and hired a coordinator to help me for the last month of the wedding. Now it's just little things that are annoying but not crazy.

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

I keep getting stressed all the time and then start to worry that something is going to go terribly wrong. Half our guests will be traveling in (most to NY for the first time) so I keep getting this added pressure from they saying they can't wait to see what a NY wedding is all about. I keep telling them that I am not having a huge wedding with a million tiny details that our wedding is about us and what we want not what others want! I hate all this stress and worrying!

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

I can't take it - I have to order my invitations I don't have to worry b/c I know which ones I want and my uncle is ordering them for me but now I am looking for a calligrapher and my Priest won't call me back to do Pre Cana - he told me not to worry b/c he is marrying us What the heck is that suppose to mean to a bride getting married iN THREE MONTHS FROM TODAY

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

to put it simply - I have no idea how this will come together - I'm a mess... and only 73 days to go

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

i'm actually pretty calm... it is what it is... I can;t control everything and i've made up my mind that I'm not going to get caught up on the tiniest details that no one notices... it's just not worth it to get crazy over everything..

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

Yes! VERY STRESSED and sleeping all the time. I feel like I have so much to do and not enough time to do it. 29 days to go

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

I feel i have not done anything. Damn I cannot find invites.

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

I'm stressed but b/c I'm buying a house, not because of the wedding. I haven't thought about the wedding!

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

Re: for brides with weddings within the next 4 months...

I'm not stressed yet, but I'm sure I will hit my breaking point eventually. Invites go out in a week so I'm hoping that I don't have to deal with any drama.
