Question for the 08ers...

As our wedding dates get closer...and closer...
what has been the most stressful part of the planning?
Excluding $$$$$$$!!!

Dress shopping? Invites? Picking an RH?

Just curious. I started the planning process so laidback, and relaxed...feeling as if I had so much time....now I am just having such a hard time making final decisions! Shoes/jewelry/how to wear my hair..

People giving their input when its not wanted or needed. Or better people not helping throughout the process but then last minute deciding to give their thoughts

Re: Question for the 08ers...

I totally hear what you're saying about starting so laid back/relaxed, thinking you had so much time, and now it's like OMG I have to rush to get things done!

I guess I'd say the most stressful thing right now is getting all the little things done - like menus, placecards, favors, programs, jewelry, etc.

If we're excluding money (the MOST stressful factor of a Wedding) then I'd have to say that I think the 2nd runner up so far was booking the hall. I was torn between two - not knowing yet what i could afford and what I really wanted. Once that was done, I relaxed a lot better. But I still have SOOO much more to do!! Ahhhhh!!!!

Ditto!!

That and how my FG mom has waited until Sept to get her dress and now the dress I picked is discontinued and my other FG already has her dress. So now I'm going to have two FG with two different dresses on

Re: Question for the 08ers...

I was making my own favors and I procrastinated. I ended up sick the 2 weeks before my wedding and it put me way behind...I was still painting the day before my wedding. Whatever you do, girls, don't procrastinate on the things you feel are most important! You want to enjoy the days before your wedding, not stress.

Re: Question for the 08ers...

let's see --

Most of my bridal is from OOT
It was so annoying and made it so hard to plan things.

My sisters are very laidback and they never planned a shower before and they dropped the ball. I really didn't want one anyway but people assumed that it passed and have asked me about it -- embarassing.
