10 more days and still so much to do

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! In what ways/areas do you feel underprepared? I am 17 days away, so I am in the same boat. However, I've found that wedding planning is equatable to a weightless journey. What I mean is: say you want to lose 50 lbs… well that number can seem very daunting and even impossible unless you break it down and set more attainable weekly/bi-weekly/monthly goal for yourself (i.e., losing 5 lbs every two weeks). Similarly, a wedding can seem very overwhelming task-heavy until you start breaking it down by chunks… for example: what's left in the way of attire? (Groom's suit, pick up dress, etc.) What items do I need for the bar? What's left in the way of catering? Just take it one step at a time, and try to breathe! It will all come together for you

What helped for us was listing everything, I mean literally everything we had to get done before the wedding. We found it was easy to take just a few of those things that could be handled on a certain day or at the same time, checking off each item on the list as we go. I am usually the kind of person that attempts to take it all on instead of asking for help, but I have become better about asking my FW to handle tasks. Good luck in these final days, may your wedding be all you envisioned.

Hi Katelyn! I'm sorry that you are feeling overwhelmed but this feeling is totally normal! I'm sure you are a lot more prepared than you realize!

Have you made a list of everything that needs to be done before your wedding? It can really help to write everything down so that you can prioritize your time. It's also super satisfying to physically cross things off a handwritten list! 😛

You should also take some time out from wedding planning and spend some alone time or have a date with your SO. Your wedding is about celebrating your relationship so it's important to remember that!
