Has anyone done a wedding detox (not food/diet related)...

By wedding detox I mean have you taken a big break from all things wedding in order to get a little bit of your sanity back. I think I'm in the beginning stages of 'wedding burn out' and I may need to detox or fast from all things wedding for a week or so...but theres always something to do. People are driving me nuts regarding adding 'one more person' (is is ever JUST one more??! ) or thinking they're so special that they don't have to return RSVPs (I should assume they're coming )

Has anyone taken a break? Did your FH, family, friend accept it? Did it help? 73 days and I wish I had a remote to fast forward to 0 days left! Soooooooo ready to get this thing rolling! But I don't wanna be totally fried by October.

Yup a few times! I did back in March when everything was booked and I was in a bit of a lul with planning. Then more recently at the 2 month mark I just needed a break in a bad way so I took about a week off and just as you put it 'detoxed'

totally normal and you still have time to do it so I say go for it

Yeah...I'm gonna let FH know how I feel tonight when he gets home and then let my BMs, FSIL, and mom know as well. I'm scared I'm gonna be a hot mess by October. It's been 10 months of non-stop wedding stuff. If we weren't so connected to the date we would have got 'er done already. I don't know how other brides torture themselves with engagements longer than a year!

It's gonna be hard not coming on LIW or waiting anxiously by the door for the mailman to arrive with more RSVPs lol...but it should be worth it.

my engagement has been 20 months!!!

You'll feel so refreshed after a wee. You will seriously feel like a whole new BRIDE and enjoy it all again

Crap!!! More power to you!! I couldn't do it...10 has been enough! It's like theres never a down time.

Thanks for the input. I'm definitely going to do it starting tomorrow. I just hope my bridal shower isn't this weekend (it's a surprise)...that would make the whole detox thing a little difficult

I have done it a couple of times- you need to do it to keep your sanity sometimes.

i had a 9 month engagement, took a 'detox' twice and still got everything done .... don't worry ... take a weekend (or more) off and just enjoy life again.

you don't want to HATE the next 73 days so do what's best for you!

Thanks so much ladies! I'm only telling FH and my mom. I don't want anyone else giving me the or

A lot of people don't understand what it's like. They think you're over reacting when you have an opinion or want things your way (the nerve of me! ) I'm just gonna 'fade to black' for the next week and stay busy with other things. Maybe go full force with my work out...need to be able to breathe in that tight *** dress

Now how do I stay away from LIW???
