Any ladies going to school and planning a wedding?

I was working full time at a "big girl" job while getting my masters in health promotion full time and writing my thesis as well! Best advice is to just plan little by little so you don't get overwhelmed. Also picking a semi-inclusive venue was a God sent; and my DOC is as well!

Also highly recommend putting the wedding date post graduation!

I did most of the bulk on summer break before school started again. During school small little things here and there. I did one thing at a time as to not overwhelm myself. I got through it and you will do great. Happy planning

Pace yourself & get as much done as early as possible! I was also in college while planning our wedding. We also ended up having to move exactly a year prior while I was deep into planning mode. All I can say is I recommend getting as much done and out of the way as possible. I know that's a challenge while also attending college, that's why I also said to pace yourself. Make a checklist so you can stay on top of what has been done and what needs done. Make sure you take some breaks & aren't constantly switching between school work, to planning cause you'll drive yourself nuts! Good luck!

I'm in PA school while planning our wedding and FH is deployed so he can't help either. It's tough but doable. If I need a break from studying I'll do some planning. Over the very very rare breaks I get from school, I do the planning that takes more time. For instance, we our making our own centerpieces so I work on those over my breaks.

I hired a wedding planner to take care of the little details so I'm not running around like a chicken with my head off and don't forget anything. She has been wonderful and takes care of all my stress so I can focus on school

I am in a very similar position!

Working full time on an oncology unit, back in school for masters for family nurse practitioner.

I start full time clinicals and have to go part time at work come this fall and me and my fiancé are living with my mom (to help with the payments of wedding and until I'm done school) I will be don't next summer.

We will have about a 2 year engagement and planning over a long period of time

Is best. Especially picking a venue thats inclusive and helpful

I'll be planning my wedding while in school! I graduate in may of 2018! Thank god! Lol. Good luck!

I am going to school full time spring, full summer and fall and planning our wedding and honestly I would never do this again. But a planner wasn't in the budget. I would stress the importance of time management! Write everything down, budget and rebudget as needed and take a day each week to not do either if possible. I also work full time and looking to purchase a house so those little "breaks" in planning can work wonders.

Being a person who is currently planning a wedding while being in graduate school, my biggest advice is to just relax and enjoy. Everything will come together! If you start to feel stressed out about getting everything done, recruit close relatives such as Mom and FMIL to help out!! I'm sure they would love to And, even though it's not their favorite thing in the world, ask the FH for his help and put him to work!

Yup, I feel ya. I teach, coach two sports, house hunting, and finishing my masters!

Me

Like everyone is saying, take it one step at time. I've been making lists of outstanding items and vendors that I need to visit and take care of as much as I can visit during breaks from school. You have lots of time. Just organize and plan out. And take lots of breaks so you don't burn out!

Me! I'm taking the summer to plan as much as possible before I jump in to my senior year of college. PLEASE focus on school. Allow yourself a little "fun" time each week for wedding planning, but don't get too caught up and forget about your goals. It also really helps me to commit to the decisions I make. Once I make a choice as far as the wedding goes, I don't look back. It helps keep me from getting lost in a sea of vendors.

I am getting my teaching credential so I have to be in a classroom teaching and then go home and do my homework/class work (it's online) and lesson plan. I take advantage of the breaks. I'm DIYing a lot of my wedding so I'm making my invitations this summer, even though it's super early. The summer is helping a lot with being able to meet with vendors though.

I work a part time job, a full time job and am working on my masters so also attending school full time as well as trying to write a thesis. Our weddings look like they're 2 days apart so we have about the same amount of planning time left. I'm just doing a little bit at a time, that way stuff is getting done, just in smaller increments and I don't feel overwhelmed by it all. Good luck!

Yes but I am finishing up my degree

and graduating this October but going back to get my bachelors so I'll be going to school while getting married.

I am in the same boat. Working full time going to school full time and planning a wedding. Take it day by day. My wedding is not for a year and 8 months. Me being the type I am I could not just sit around so we booked our venue luckily our venue includes things like cake,DJ,catering, etc but it did help take some stress off by doing something now so I can really focus on school and work with no stress good luck!

I was in grad school and working while planning my wedding (one month out!) Start early, knock out the big things, and keep a spread sheet! Seriously, I have a guest one that lists addresses, when I sent them invites, I have one for vendors (how much they cost, payment dates, payments I've made, ect) along with everything else I've budgeted for. It's really helped me stay on track and budget.

Yes, I'm doing both. My top priority is my job, followed by school. Don't feel like you have to get everything done at once. Keep things fun and tackle one thing at a time. I would focus on one vendor at a time in order not to feel overwhelm. Also, take a break from everything for yourself, even if it's only 30 minutes.

I'm planning a vow renewal, work full time, have 2 kids, and have online school full time. . Work, kids and school take priority for me. I just spend a few hours a week on vow renewal stuff.

So am I! It's difficult but I have learned to manage my time. I'm going to Tarleton State and will be graduating in december and have a full time job. But having my mom willing to help has really been amazing. Like I can give her task to do while I'm at work like find this or can you please call so and so and then she'll tell me after I get off.
