june brides- who else is feeling overwhelmed?

ok, I'm ready to burn-out now. It's really crazy. I still have several final vendor appointments (hall, DJ, final fitting) and most of all, I'm ready to have a meltdown over redoing some seating arrangements, organizing place cards, finishing up favors, assembling OOT'er bags, and most of all.....

remembering to bring everything to every appropriate vendor!!! you know, send the programs, bubbles, flowergirl basket and ring pillow to the church. Send the votives and other decorations to the florist, send the cake topper and place cards to the hall..... It's a list of about 90 items.... how will I keep track

then there are the OOT'ers.... it seems we're changing hotel reservations every 2 days for someone else... Not to mention we have to keep track of whom we have to pick up at what airport and when

FH and I haven't exercised recently, we're both mildly ill, and until last night, we haven't practiced dancing to our song for the last 3 weeks...

it's all too much!

I'm in total agreement. Everyone's like 'it'll be fine, don't worry so much'. But it won't be fine unless I worry about it now!! Argh!

At least you've practiced the dance with FH.. we have yet to do that!

Im starting to seriously get really anxious and nervous b/c im about to hit my one month mark next week. I think im going to start hyperventilating!!!! lol seriously though.

I still need to do all the final appts. with vendors. Next week i have my food tasting, meeting with my florist, picking out linens, cutting and highlighting my hair for the wedding, meeting with my rabbi, meeting with my photographer...

I thought all along i would make the OOT bags but after finding a website that does them relatively inexpensive i put that into their hands.

In addition to the wedding planning i have finals next week so to answer your question i am feeling totally overwhemled.

Re: june brides- who else is feeling overwhelmed?

Me!!! I have so much still to do! Like print the programs, do the seating arrangements, uh...yep, I need to get on those. Well, there's still a few people I'm not sure if they're coming or not. Tomorrow's the last day though, if I don't get a 'yes, we're definitely coming' they're being put down as a 'no.'

Still a few more things, too. Yikes. I'm feeling some pressure, yes. But I guess it's normal.

we haven't either. I'm thinking we may just skip it.

OK, leaving work early today to go to a doctor's appt and fitting.

Re: june brides- who else is feeling overwhelmed?

My heart is racing!! I have so much left. I wanted to be done by now and just relaxing until the BIG day-but so much can't be done until right before. I still have to place cards and seating chart-but I can't do these until people RSVP I have to make my programs and menus-which I can't do until both the ceremony and menu has been finalized, which should be done by the end of this weekend. I have to do table names, but again don't know how many of those I will need until everyone RSVPs -mind you there is 4 days until my rsvp deadline and Im still missing like 40 cards!! I still need flutes, a cardboxparents and readers gifts-Geez-This week I have to do my shower thank yous. Oh and meet w/all my vendors to shell out $

Re: june brides- who else is feeling overwhelmed?

I have a few little things to do but for some strange reason I am calm. We finalized menus for the rehersal dinner and the reception. Then I was able to see my mock up from the florist and went over everytyhing there this past week alone. So I am kind of ok now. Also, thank god my mother is doing the OOT gift bags. Also...the BEST thing I did was hire a DOC..so she is scheduling a time line for all people in the wedding and all the vendors.

Re: june brides- who else is feeling overwhelmed?

I'm OK right now.....last week I got SO overwhelmed and sat my A S S down and made like 500 different lists like a crazy lady. I have to admit though my BM is so wonderful she sent me a whole list of what I need to bring to her the week before the wedding, she wrote it all out for me and I love her for that lol

I seperated all my RD/Church/Reception things into different piles into my spare room.

I still have to do favors, print my programs , have final meeting with the DJ (but he's my best friend so I'm ok with that), final meeting with duet, I have to write out my placecards, OOT bags to do

Last week I did seating charts, finalized florist, finalized limos (Deb at All-Star is the best)

we're on a similar page... or at least I'm only a page behind you. That's all the stuff we're doing this week! I made-up the lists last night, including the day-of shedule and list of stuff my mom will do on the big day (disperse tips / pay vendors)

I thought making up the list of items going to each vendor would help the anxiety, but it didn't. Now the anxiety has shifted to 'I must have forgotten stuff on that list!!! '

I am feeling sooo overwhelmed I still don't even have bridesmaids dresses I have been having a problem with the company and they haven't come in yet. Please pray for me that they fit.
I also have been stressed out by my parents. They keep inviting people! And I am still missing RSVPs and my deadline was 5/12

It's funny though..towards the end it's a week to week roller coaster. One week I want to pull all my hair out, and then the next week I'm so calm.
