wedding STRESS

I just need to vent and I know no one would understand except you ladies

First of all, we just picked up our invitations.. YAY. However, the inside is a dark purple with gold writing. I feel like the font is way smaller than I anticipated and the gold isn't bold which makes it harder to read. I called the place I ordered from and they told me to get that part reprinted would cost me $300 dollars, AND I'd have to rip out the inside that's already there and glue the new ones in myself. WHOAH WAIT- I just spent a ton of money on these invites and that's the best option? Spend more money and then DIY?? So she gave me the 1800 number of the actual invitation company, and I had to call them myself to be told that they need to speak with the place I ordered from. SO that was one giant frustrating circle..

Second, I just got a hair trial and I LOVED how it looked but I felt kind of rushed. I feel like if I'm getting my trial, I understand that it's not going to look exact, but if you're going to 'set my hair the day of', wouldn't you do that now instead of just curl it? So now, my hair is falling and I really don't have an accurate picture in my head about what my hair will look like the day of. Her friend was getting her hair done at the salon she works at, which is great, but I felt like she was just trying to finish me up so she could do her friends hair. I just want someone who I'm hiring to be bubbly and sound excited and make me excited about it.

I know I can't be the only one feeling this, but we've been engaged for a year and a half and I'm just READY. Like, watching all these people on Facebook that got engaged after me but married before me is just making me more anxious. I'm obviously so excited and I know the day will be amazing and I'll wish it didn't go so fast, but after all this planning, money, stress, dedication etc. that I'm putting into the wedding--- I'm just wanting it to come already.


Ok.. thanks for letting me vent

I totally understand. We have been engaged 2 years and as much as we are looking forward to the day and being married we really can't wait for it to be over!! We want to be on our HM already. We are kinda looking forward to that more right now lol I'm so done thinking about it, planning it and most of all paying for it! Lol

As for your hair trail, if she was rushing your trial and didn't do your hair the exact way she would the day of the really defeated the purpose of having a trial. If anything they should be doing everything perfectly so they can get your business.

I hear ya!! I just told my friend the other day, there would be no wedding stress if it weren't for the vendors. If all my vendors did their jobs accurately and were on top of things I'd have no stress at all.

I'm sorry about your stress. I want my wedding to be here already too. The faster it is here, the faster it is over with. I'm tired of planning it and stressing about it. We have been together for more than 8 years and have a 2 year old daughter so I am more than ready also to get married. Hopefully it will get better for all of us. Good luck with the invitation crisis.

Ahh what company did you use for invitations? Did you get a proof before bc if u did and its different its there fault!

We used Dazzling Affairs. I OKed the proofs, but on the computer the font looked MUCH larger. They told me the proofs are shown actual size but my point is how are you supposed to compare what's on a computer screen to an invitation in your hand??? It's almost impossible to judge, plus it's black writing on a white screen making it naturally easier to read.

If you approved the proof there is nothing you can really do but pay the fee to change it. It sounds like it would be a lot of work to change it now. Is it really bad? Can you post a pic?

As for the hair trial, I would def seek out other vendors. Your trial should be the image of what you want to look like on your weddng day. If you are not satsified, keep looking. Check out Jacqueline form Bridal Stles.

Wedding planning is very stressful but the end result will be worth it! Hang in there!

We have only been engaged for one year and I already want my wedding to be here. It is a lot of stress and I feel like I just want to get it done. LOL. You are not the only one who feels that way!
