Okay so here we go... sorry everyone - I didn't understand my BOTW responsibilities, I should have checked in :) Here's a double header since I didn't do one yesterday.
So - what is your biggest stressor thus far and how do you keep yourselves organized to make sure you get everything done?
My biggest stressor has been, MYSELF! I think that I make things more difficult on myself than they need to be and I need to try and keep myself in check because I only have less than 4 months left to finish my to dos. I had been taught in a test preparation class to teach myself a calm down strategy when taking the board exam to keep myself in check - that is the next thing on my to do list :) I find that unless I write things down and prioritize them, I drive myself even more crazy. That is the only way I can actually get things taken care of.
Let me know your thoughts - sorry again for the delay :)

My biggest stressor was the hotel block... That and my mom!
I created a binder with all of my things to keep me organized. I also created a master excel spreadsheet to keep everything in one place.
I would be lost without both!

Not to state the obvious but money has been by far my biggest stressor. I keep finding myself saying i should be in the wedding business. We all want a nice day but it sure can get crazy when it comes to dollars and cents. I think the best part about being on a budget is having to be creative with my ideas and learning to stretch a dollar. It makes it more personal than throwing around money that i dont have.

Money, of course. Also, finding the right vendors.

My biggest stress has been having to cut down our guest list due to cost.

congrats on being BOTW, date twin!
I think my biggest source of stress has been the fact that we're planning from out of state. when booking vendors, I felt much more pressure to have meetings early because I didn't know if they would be booked by the time I got to make another trip to LI. Then when we are on long island, it's like jamming everything into such a short bit of time. We've made it work, but it definitely hasn't made anything easier haha
I stay organized by making lists, keeping a lot of information in a spreadsheet, and keeping all contracts/business cards, etc in my big wedding binder

Biggest stress has definitely been money. I keep myself organized by keeping all my contracts in a binder. Then I have lists saved on my computer of when everything is due and when I should buy things.
