Losing it....

Ok, I am starting to feel very overwhelmed!!! I have most of the major vendors booked...it is all the little things, that aren't so little!!! I feel like I don't have the time, money, or patience to do this and remain sane...does anyone else feel that way...does anyone want to be my wedding planner????????

I have:
RH
Church
Flowers
Photographer
Chair Covers
Band
BM dresses
Registry
hotel block

Here are a list of things I STILL NEED TO DO!!!!!!!!

honeymoon
limos
FG dresses
tuxes
favors
hair/makeup
accessories (shoes, jewelry)
BP/GM gifts
RD

WHAT AM I MISSING?? Sorry to vent, but I just can't believe I am on the computer on this BEAUTIFUL day, freaking out about all the crap I have to do... Thanks for listening, i am done now

Re: Losing it....

First, take a deep breath. Let it out. Woooooooosh. Okay, now let's look at your list:

1) Limos - Do you have an idea of what company you might want to use? Have you met with any companies at showcases that you liked? I would tackle this one first, since you'll need to get on their calendar for your big day. Once you've secured the company and put down your deposit, this will be done! (I'm using Sir Oliver and they're sooo nice to work with).

2) HM - Any ideas of where and FH want to go? My FH and I are waiting to take our HM, so I don't have many suggestions here. A lot of girls on here have used travel agents, so you might want to consider that.

3) Tuxes - Let your FH worry about this!

4) RD - are your FILs going to do the traditional thing and take care of this?

5) Everything else - Take it one step at a time. The good news is, there are many, many weekends between now and your wedding! Each weekend, try to tackle one thing. You may also find the gifts and jewelry on-line, so then it's just a matter of waiting for them to be shipped to you.

Feel better!! Everything will come together and will work beautifully. Just take it one step at a time and don't let it overwhelm you. Now go outside and relax!!

Re: Losing it....

honeymoon and hair/make-up should be the first priorities.... booking vacations soon before the departure can increase the cost by a lot! Also, hotels book up....

hair and make-up people book up early... I was shocked by that

after that, take care of the limo and other stuff.....

Re: Losing it....

Don't stress, you still have time for everything. I would make a list in order of priority & go from there. My wedding is the weekend after yours, & I just went to a lady for invites last week. I just booked my honeymoon 3 days ago. Out of everything you said, I would do the honeymoon first. At least get an idea of where you & FH want to go & look into it. Put the tuxes on the back burner for now. They don't need to be done until 1 to 2 months before the wedding. But definately prioritize, otherwise you'll end up running in circles.

PS We don't have our wedding bands yet either. Our jeweler said it'll take about 5 weeks to come in once ordered, but we haven't made a decision yet.
