60 days out and I'm so stressed

Take a deep breath and step away from the wine bottle. You have A LOT going on, so take a few minutes (like when writing here!) to feel all of those feelings! Now throw them out the window and lets get to work.

Things you can do TODAY:

1. Go online and ORDER INVITES for everyone on your guest list...Overnight those bad boys to your house (it's worth the shipping cost)

2. Assuming your husband is working tomorrow morning....hand him a tape measure and a pen and tell him to go into work 15 minutes early tomorrow and measure the tables and get a count of tables/chairs

3. Make an appointment at your nearest David's Bridal or equivalent store that will sell you a dress off the rack. Best case scenario, you can have an appointment for later this week/this weekend and will see where you stand as far as options. You can also shop around anywhere for a white dress that may not be as traditionally bridal but will still be beautiful

4. Unless you have already shopped around and found a better quote, hit submit payment on the port-o-potties…..it seems like a silly expense until over half of your guests have left an hour into the reception because they've been holding their pee through the ceremony, cocktail hour, etc.

5. Vent to FH about what a crappy thing it is that your FBIL cheated on his girlfriend, then forget about it - unless a breakup suddenly means he forgot how to read, he can still be your officiant if you so choose. You can feel free to tell your best friend that it was crappy of her to cheat with FBIL, but if we're in the mood of "de-stress" I would avoid this

Things you can do TOMORROW:

1. Go to the post office and pick up stamps. When your invites arrive, put a stamp on them and drop them off at the post office THAT DAY

2. Call your FH before his lunch break to collect the table size/count he gathered this morning like you previously discussed...if he has forgotten, ask him to do it during his lunch break and call you after

3. Once you get these numbers from your FH, call the florist and get the quote

Does this feel like a lot? Don't get me wrong it definitely is, but having an itemized checklist that you can do THIS WEEK means that by the weekend you'll be much better off in terms of wedding planning. Try and take it one thing at a time, and for all of the emotional extras, honestly it sounds harsh but you don't have to deal with any of the outside drama, so throw it on the back burner. Plan a fun dinner date with your FH this weekend to unwind after a week of progress Good luck!!!
