I think I may be hitting the panic stage (long)

4 months to go and I feel like I'm starting to freak out.

I don't have my BM dresses yet because my maid of honor was pregnant and just had her baby 2 weeks ago. She gained alot of weight with her pregnancy and doesn't know what she'll feel comfortable wearing/what size she'll be come Oct. I really don't mind catering the dress to what she is comfortable in, but I just really feel like I need to at least pick a dress ASAP so I can have an exact color down. I spoke with her today and she said in another week she'll be able to take the baby out and go shopping. I'm relieved we seta time, but I still feel panicky and want to get it done this second.

Also I'm making cookbooks for favors and 3 months ago I asked family members to send me some of their favorite recipes, as of last week 2 people sent me recipes. So last week I sent a reminder email asking people to please get them to me by the end of June, so far I have rec'd one more.

Is it normal to hit this panic stage, where you feel like there is so much to do but you can't really do any of it anyway!?!

Sorry for the vent, maybe I just need to stop drinking coffee

Don't panic....it's totally normal to feel like that! I've been planning for over a year and I still feel overwhelmed even though I know it will all get done in time.

It'll all be OK!

It's totally normal to feel like this! We ordered the BM dresses the beginning of this month and they are estimated to arrive Sept 2! 4 weeks for 6 dress alterations...

We just ordered mother of the bride dresses this past week...

I'm still in process of making invitations.

It feels overwhelming, but you have to trust that it will all be alright and try to concentrate on one thing at a time...because sometimes looking at the big picture can stress you out. it'll be ok!

Totally normal!!! Actually, I have felt like it comes in waves. I started around six months left - and was panicky for a few days and then it went away once I started to check some things off my list. Then it started again with three months to go and the same thing happened - panicky for a few days and then it was gone. NOW I am at 28 days and I am in yet another panic stage. It's been with me for a few days so I am hoping it will subside soon. So you are not alone in this feeling. Just try to breathe. You have plenty of time and you will get it done. Either that or you will have naked BM's and everyone will have something to talk about!

I started to feel this way as well (I am getting married 1 week before you) I see the countdown getting closer to the DD's and I'm like OMG, I have to finish making invites, my mom doesn't want to shop for a dress till Aug, no limos yet, haven't sched e-pics yet. I am sure it will all get done, but little things (like life) keep getting in my way.
The one thing I did the other day was go on the checklist on here and it felt good to check some things off! It helps. Also I will do a small project to feel like I have accomplished something. Always here if you need to vent, talk or whatever
