Lets play...what are guys stressing over

So curious to see what you girls are stressing about with your planning now.

I have so many little things to do that they are all stressing me out. To make matters worse, FH is not even here to help me, he moved to Syracuse (where we just bought a house) to start a new job.

Lets here 'em....

Re: Lets play...what are guys stressing over

I'm stressing over the money aspect of it. Being able to keep up with payments. I want to make sure that everything is planned right down to the last detail. Hoping that I give myself enough time to plan and make the right decisions.

Re: Lets play...what are guys stressing over

ummmm the fact that we're moving halfway across the country less than a week after the wedding is the main thing...but other than that, the wedding-related stuff is: me being paranoid that the BM dresses will not come in on time, finding a limo company, addressing my invites and figuring out what people will do in between the end of the ceremony and the beginning of the cocktail hour since there's about a 2 hour gap....

oh, and the money.

Money! Making sure that we save and pay everything on time. Guestlist we have wayyyy too many people and want to cut the list down. All the vendors that I havent booked. Having enough time... OMG I can go on and on

Re: Lets play...what are guys stressing over

I am stressed because we just bought a new house that needs work and now it seems like all our money goes towards new fixtures for the house rather than the wedding.

I am super stressed that I won't lose the weight I want to before the wedding. I still have 20 lbs to go and only 5 months to do it in.

Re: Lets play...what are guys stressing over

at this very moment, i'm stressed because i can't seem to get my bridesmaids together to go dress shopping. and when i step back and take a look at it, it seems silly to be stressing about it.

Re: Lets play...what are guys stressing over

I'm stressing but not about wedding stuff yet....about e-party stuff. FH's 2 uncles and 2 cousins STILL have not RSVP'd...e-party is the 26th. We have called and left messages and still nothing. I am at the point where if they show up and I am telling them, 'sorry I didn't pay for you because you never RSVP'd!!'

And, his parents said they would help pay for the e-party but now that I just went and made the payment they NEED a new floor... the floor is fine and is about 5 years old...just a lame excuse.

I don't get some people!!!

Re: Lets play...what are guys stressing over

I have learned a few things in all the planning. My words of advice are:

1. you are not going to please everytbody, you need to do what is going to make you happy

2. certain things, like what people are going to do for 2 hours after the ceremony, you cant worry bout that stuff. They are adults and will figure it out themselves. If they dont want to come tho your wedding b/c of it, you didnt need them there anyway.

Re: Lets play...what are guys stressing over

I'm stress out because I still haven't got any temp to help me with work while were on HM. I'm afraid that things will be out of control at work when I get back. I have 2 staff and they are both in maternity leave.

Wedding stuff..i'm pretty good so far..unless i'm missing something. Yikes....must check the list

Re: Lets play...what are guys stressing over

money! my dad, my mom, and my grandma are paying for everything. except they all are now arguing over who pays what. I wish they'd argue alone, and leave me out of it!

then my mom runs out and goes on a shopping spree, then goes and gets married. ugh.

I'm about to go elope with fh!

Re: Lets play...what are guys stressing over

what am i stressing about? NOTHING! at least not today i'm kinda at a stand still with regards to wedding things - there's nothing i can do today. my parents are OOT, so i can't get any more RSVPs, so i can't finish my seating, i can't find the right paper from Target for my programs, so i have to wait until we're in San Diego this weekend to hit a bunch out there, i can't get my shoes dyed because my dress is in NY and I'm in AZ, can't fill my favor boxes because they are also in NY, so yeah. Not much I can do! So, i'm going to eat dinner, watch the office , practice a little violin and call it a night! woo. hoo.

Re: Lets play...what are guys stressing over

I'm stressed about eparty. we're having a sunday brunch and FH wishes is was a little less formal. Too bad he didn't say that before we put down the deposit and made the invitations!!! Now I'm looking for a theme to make it a little more casual.

Re: Lets play...what are guys stressing over

i'm stressed that i won't get everything done in time for the wedding.... i've already been berated by the TA about the honeymoon we still have to book (in less than 2 months away), the tuxes FH and groomsmen still need, the wedding rings we haven't looked for yet, and the limos we still have to book....

the wedding nightmares don't help much either... AHHHH!!!!

Re: Lets play...what are guys stressing over

Obviously money, but I'm terrified that my dress won't fit and I'll look like a beast in it.

Re: Lets play...what are guys stressing over

Stressing about $$$$$. Otherwise I think I am okay at the moment.

Re: Lets play...what are guys stressing over

I am stressing over money, not finishing all of my DIY projects, RSVP's not coming in, seating chart and lots of other wedding related things. As for FH he isn't stressing over anything
