I know we’re all keeping a close eye on our countdowns. I often find myself thinking back to the beginning of the planning process and how this time last year I had no idea that I was going to get engaged anytime soon, and now we are full speed ahead for wedded bliss. I would like to know: What part of the planning process were you in however many days or months away from your wedding date ago? Were you even engaged? I know that‘s confusing so I’ll explain…For example, I am 6 months away from my date so 6 months ago I was dress shopping at The Bridal Suite of Bayshore. I found a close contender to the dress I wound up picking. My best friend cried and I had a sense of accomplishment because we didn’t have anything even booked yet. I was glad to at least find a dress I really liked and evoked some emotion out of someone. I was narrowing down my likes and dislikes. I hope thats clear. Sorry for any confusion.

I'm 2 months away, but 2 months ago, I was rebooking a venue because my original venue shut down and took my deposit :(. I don't care, that place was not that nice anyway, bet the food was crap.

And yes! I was engaged :D

Wow - glad you were able to find another venue. 2 months out - what does your checklist look like?? Mine for two months before the wedding is like 2 1/5 pages long and stressing me out! Lol

I'm 9 months away and 9 months ago we weren't engaged yet though I think FH had started plotting with my best friend about my ring. It's funny to think about this. Good question!

Thanks - Yea, sometimes to calm me down when I get stressed I like looking back to see how far we've come in such a short time. Try to appreciate what's going on now.

5 days away from my wedding so yes was engaged last week lol. this is my hour of relaxing before hopefully getting a pedicure, going back to the mall, and then going to pay fox hollow tonight. I wonder if they'll give us some food? lol. would think after paying them over $20,000 they could give some food tonight....

anyway 5 days ago was stressed because jetblue canceled my mom's flight that Tuesday morning and didn't even bother to tell her! she went to print her boarding pass Monday night and it's like oh this has been canceled. oh wow they gave a $50 credit...... big deal. she flew in Wednesday night instead but had to stop in Boston which got delayed for 2 hours. we had to go pick her up at like 2 am! surprisingly JFK was insanely crowded too at almost 2 am. guess flights from west coast all get in that late or something.

Hope they fed you tonight! 5 days to go...wow...I hope your mom's cancellation was the last of the set backs. I hope it's all smooth sailing.

i'm 4 months away, and 4 months ago i was in the process making our invitations! i made pocketfolds and it took months to do... if i coud go back, i probably would have just bought them lol, but I saved so much money in the process and they look amazing. I'm just happy I'm done!

That's our current project. Did you use a program or order a template from Etsy? We spent about an hour in the Paper Source trying to figure it all out. FW bought a wedding invitation program and we're trying to feel our way through. I'm giving it till the end of the month for us to get everything we need. If not I think we're just going to order them. I want them out by April.
