I am completely OVERWHELMED!!!! Need advice please

I can't believe that my wedding is in two months and I feel like I am so far behind and that there is SO much to do.

When do you start to order place cards, and favors and stuff like that? I thought I should wait for all the response cards but it might be too late.

For brides getting married in two months or around that what do you have left to do? I need to make a list :)

I am completely stressing out and I need some advice

I felt the same as you when I got married....I went to Wrapwith us in Syosset about a 3 weeks before my wedding and I bought a few things. While there I found a selection of favors and found the ones I used for my wedding. I asked when they would available and they arrived there a week before my wedding. But I lucked out with that.

What you need to do is the next couple of weeks, you need to create a list of things that you need to complete.
And just complete them.

My placecards were provided by the Swan Club, but due to FH changing everything at last minute, I had to go out and buy placecards at Staples and print them out just hours before I had to hand deliver them to the RH.

Misc things are the things that will drive you nuts, but if you focus on getting them done, you will get them done.
