November Brides....

I feel like I am going to throw up... I don't know why but all of a sudden I feel a tad overwhelmed!
What have you guys done so far?

we booked:
the church
RH
photog
video
DJ
Trolley (BP trans)
florist
photobooth
Honeymoon
His ring

I'm working on making the STD's - hoping to have them done by this weekend and mailed within the next 2 weeks or so.

I've started the church paperwork but haven't booked the pre cana yet

I'm thinking about booking a DOC - trying to get some feedback - but that's not going so well

I still have to:
invites
find a hair/makeup person
get a dress for me
BP dresses
Tux's
FG dresses
MOB dress
Grandmother of bride dress
My ring
My transportation car (antique white car)

and all the small stuff:
aisle runner
unity candle
bathroom baskets
HOTEL BLOCKING - that's kinda a big one
something to throw -ex: petal cones or something
BP gifts
what else???
I know I am sooo missing a whole lot of things.

I just feel like OMG... my head has soo many things going on in it. I think it might be the money moreso that's making me antsy and giving me anxiety. Anyone have a Xanax????

Anyone feel the same as I do? Where are you at on your plans? Anyone around to make Kerri feel better?

Hey Kerri,
You are not the only one, everytime I think that I have a lot of stuff done, I realize I still have so much to do.

What I have done:
RH
Florist
Photo/video
DJ
Officiant
My dress/Veil
BM dress
Limos


still have to:
Wedding Bands
Headpiece
Honeymoon
invites
hair/makeup person
Tux's
FG dresses
MOB dress

I was going to do STD but I dont have the patience!

HOTEL BLOCKING - I am currently working on this one

So dont worry we are in the same boat!

Don't feel bad Kerri - this is what I've done:

Church (no pre-cana yet - still waiting for 'the call')
my dress
RH
limo
photog/video
florist
dj
Hotel block
honeymoon
ordered STDs

Still to do:

BM dresses
headpiece/veil
shoes
DOJ
wedding bands
tuxes
DO makeup/hair
get a guest list together oh yeah and send the STDs!
hotel guest transportion to/from RH
invitations
favors

and a thousand other things! I'm also thinking of hiring a DOC but FH is against it. If I can stash away some $$ I'm just going to do it.

oh and Kerri, can you send me FM about how much that trolley costs? That might work for my guests to and from the hotel/RH - thanks.

so you arent the only one feeling like this. especially that for the past 3 weeks i have done NOTHING with the wedding planning and kind of stopped it and put it on hold and put it aside more like it! only cause i was having issues and major problems with FH and going thru a ruff time with him, so i didnt want to do anything that had to do with the wedding or even think about it - sadly to say! only because it was so bad i was thinking of calling it all off.. but now everything is ok and hopefully worked out! :) so i can start again doing some wedding planning.. it was more out of anger that i think i didnt want to think about the wedding anymore!

what i have done is basically the same you have.. the major booking and thats about it! i ordered my dress, the florist, the photographer and video, the limos, the dj and the portuguese band, the church, we did our pre-cana already so thats all done! we didnt book our honeymoon yet, we dont have his ring or my ring yet, we dont have any gifts for the bridal party yet, no makeup or hair yet, no other gifts like for the parents either or the BM dresses havent yet been ordered, no tux yet and no invitations and no favors (even though i already know where i am going to get them and what i am getting i just havent ordered them yet).. and my save the dates, thats a whole another story! i was working on them to send out this month and of course that isnt happening cause of what was happening with me and fh, so i stopped working on them.. i have them but need to finish getting more addresses so i can do the envelopes and send them out!!!!!!

so trust me.. you are ok and not in bad shape.. look at me, lol!

Oh i am sorry to hear about the troubles. I'm glad everything is working out though. I think sometimes hard times or rough patches come to just make us stronger as a couple... the more you can get passes and make it.. the stronger you become. I think everyone goes through it once in a while. It's part of the ups and downs. I can understand you not wanting to do anything wedding related.. i probably wouldnt either.

I was going to do STD's all day... but instead I started cleaning hard core (like spring cleaning)! I cleaned from 1 to like 730 then started cleaning again at like 830 and now i'm taking another lil break. I've been a cleaning freak today! I love it... it's sooo nice that everything is all clean!

HEY! I have ....

my dress ordered
RH
BM dresses ordered ( next weekend )
ceremony officiants
florist
band
hotel room block
hair/makeup booked for me and BMs

yea it's scary.
I think back and I did a good amount of booking last year... but I also took months and months at a time off from wedding planning. You get into it then you kinda take a break for a while then get back into it... it's like a little roller coaster.
