I'm just as excited for the Puppy Bowl as I am for the Super Bowl lol
What do you believe will be the most stressful part of planning your wedding?
I've heard that doing the seating arrangements for the reception is a pain in the butt. Luckily, FSIL loves doing stuff like that and has already done a 'rough draft' of the seating arrangements for FH's family.
Also, I've heard that hotel blocks can be a pretty stressful process. We're not looking forward to that!
Booking the major vendors hasn't been stressful for FH and I, but when it comes to the little details and odds & ends- that's a different story lol
Whatever your plans are for today, hope you all have fun!
I'll be back later to announce the new BOTW! yayyyy

When it comes time to send out invitations, I'm sure I will reach bridezilla mode if guests don't RSVP on time

The major vendors did seem easy..i think the hard part will too be the seating arrangement and then pulling together all the little things, making sure things match I think will be tough! and im having trouble finding the dress but I think that will work itself out! (hopefully :)

The most stressful part for me is when I think about the invitations. Getting everything together, finding out people's addresses, hounding people for their RSVPs, etc. Also, I don't want to have children at the wedding since my mom is one of 12 kids and it's already a becoming zoo-like so I want the cut off to be 21 or older to keep the guest list manageable. I know some of my family members will just include their kids in the RSVPs so I'm not looking forward to those phone calls either. (My older sister had to deal with quite a few of them for her wedding two years ago). I'm not looking forward to the seating chart either, hopefully it won't be too bad though.
I'm doing my hotel blocks now and it's so easy! Don't stress, I've done everything over the phone and through email. I didn't need to leave a deposit or anything, it's totally stress-free!

The most stressful part for me so far (and will continue to be) is planning the wedding long-distance. I currently live in MD, just outside of DC and managing everything from 5 hours away has been hard. Couple that with FH's crazy work schedule, my work and school schedule, and trying to plan trips up to NY to knock things off the list -- it's been crazy so far. And I'm only 3 months in!

I would definitely say the most stressful thing is the MONEY!

Re: ***QOTD 2/3/13***
Once we start looking for somewhere to live, paying for that in addition to the wedding will definitely be tough. So far, the most stressful part is making our list for invites. We already know that we're well over 200 people, so we had no problem saying we could guarantee 150 but my side alone could meet that minimum. My family is is SO big and I'm having a really difficult time figuring out where to draw the line.

Definitely the RSVPs! I'm so afraid that no one is going to be able to make it to my wedding!

Stress mainly comes from thinking about saving for a wedding AND a place to live. The second most stressful is thinking of all of these things I'm planning on DIYing. I'm scared things aren't going to really come out the way I want them to! Lastly, FH can be a little anal! He's been stressing me out a little with getting what feeling like EVERYTHING done at once and right away!

I would say the venue selection was stressful for me as you all know
besides that I am dreading dealing with cutting the guest list and family getting annoyed by that (if they want to pay for their extra people thats fine with me, but we aren't paying for them lol), and putting all my ideas together within budget. That I have a feeling will be impossible!!

The most stressful thing for me is trying to make everyone happy. Both of our parents are contributing, so I want them to feel like their voices are heard, while still achieving my vision for my wedding. The balancing act sometimes puts me over the edge. But now that we have a venue and date, I think I'm over the huge stresses

Getting everything paid for is the biggest stress. After that, I'd have to say listening to everyone's opinions is the only thing that gets me truly frazzled. I hate second guessing myself, and I tend to do that once someone says 'it's a little much' or 'oh, that's what you like?'
Not looking forward to the hotel block. Could be 50 rooms, could be 10, and I wont know until RSVPs come in?! That gives me heart palpitations lol.

money money money....
oh yes and a photographer for some reason!!!
everything else-I am super easy going about it and nothing really bothers me!!! however, money and a photographer will truly be the death of me!!!
oh yes and finding a place to live- i'm sure 1 year from now when that venture starts no one will want to be my friend anymore!!! :(

I really think the hardest part for me will be budgeting and saving the money for the wedding and a place to live. I'm not too worried about the seating chart... not sure why though.
Also... I think whats also going to be difficult for me is the 6 weddings that I have BEFORE mine... including one only 4.5 weeks before mine. And I can't decline any of them.

I feel like every part of planning has been stressful so far, each part more stressful than the first!
But I do think I'll be stressed once I get bridesmaids involved with dress shopping and such!
