101 days out... i am Stressed

Mary, on June 11, 2019 at 12:18 PM Posted in Planning 0 22
Hey y'all! We are 101 days out from our wedding on September 21 and I am panicking slightly!! I feel like the to-do list is still so long and we should be further along. Am I crazy?? We still have to secure rentals, finalize the hotel block, finalize the song lists for the DJ, buy most of the decor, DIY all the signs, decide on a cake, send the invitations... idk I am feeling overwhelmed!! How far along are y'all??

    I still have most of what you mentioned left to do and I’m 57 days out! We also have to do tablecloth rentals, centerpieces, and cake and florals!

    Ahh!! Ok maybe I'm overreacting then lol do you have the ideas of what you want? That's what has taken me the longest tbh, once I decided on how I want something to look actually booking it seemed like the easy part! ❤

    Wedding planning can get very overwhelming very easily. Take a breather! You'll get to your list one by one!

    Hi date twin! I am also starting to feel the stress. I need to order invites, finish some diys, and start thinking about smaller items. When are you planning on sending your invites? Mu florist needs guest numbers 1 month before the wedding, so I'm thinking of sending them beginning of July and having the RSVP date be August 14th.

    Ours are still being designed right now lol but our planner said last week of July would be the latest, that seems like a good date for RSVPs! (And the day before my bday😊) I'm definitely worried about the small things too! Last weekend I spend all of Saturday figuring out my accessories and how I want hair makeup and nails. That made me feel so put together lol!!

    Seriously!! We got engaged last May and then it felt like such a long time and now I'm like umm.. how many days left?!?! 😅 maybe research some things you have in mind so when you can all get together it'll be really easy to books stuff! I've been spending all my lunch breaks on pinterest and looking up prices!

    Lol yes! I decided on hair and makeup, but have no idea how I want my nails. I want simple, but still something to them.

    We've got about 67 days left and I'm ahead of myself and still feel like I'll never get it all done! Lol We met with our event coordinator back in March and she had a list of things she was asking and said it wasn't a big deal if we didn't have some stuff decided on as it was still early and I had an answer for just about all of it! She was very surprised and told me I was way ahead of where most people are at that point. 🤷 Ilive to be organized!!!

    But don't worry. You'll get it all done. Some advice, get as much of the "little" stuff done early as you can so when you need to start worrying about the bigger stuff it doesn't get swept under the rug and you won't be freaking out about at the last minute. 😊

    I am 121 days out and I am a little behind myself too, we do have the majority broke down, but we just sent out save the dates, haven't ordered invites, or decided on them at all, no hotel blocks, lots of things to be ordered and I don't even think my guest list is final LOL I'm still confused on where to start, just where to show up LOL

    Same!! I decided on a blushy color with just a little bit of gold sparkle at the base of the nail! I guess most girls do the French nails but I've never had that before and it's not really me. If theres a nail place you go to maybe ask if they can show you a few bridal styles?

    That's a good idea! See what other brides have asked for.

    Honestly the checklist on here has helped me so much, when we got engaged last May i thought i had time before starting anything but the app was like NOPE START NOW and I'm glad i did! That gave me enough time to spread some of it out (and build up our savings 😬) but it's those couple of things that it has under 'do before February' that I still havent done that are getting to me!! And our venue is 2 hours away so it's just extra tricky to plan

    Don't worry that seems pretty reasonable. I will do all my decor buying and DIY come July which will be at 100 days and less. Although I have decided on cake and hotel block. But hotel block was super easy I just contacted the hotel via email she gave me the info and price I said okay and she sent the contract same day! There will be a lot to do, but honestly I feel like to put it into perspective I can accomplish buying all the decor I need in one weekend possibly a day if I plan it right haha and order online.

    Exactly! I can use my computer at work when it’s slow (I manage a frozen yogurt shop) so that has definitely been helpful.

    Date twin! I'm trying to figure out the timeline for the reception. It starts at 5:30pm. Lol. And I need to follow up with the person who is making our heart for guests to sign.
    I'm also stuck on the DJ list as well.
