April ‘22 Brides: Anyone Freaking Out Yet?

I’m getting married April 9, 2022….5 months to go! I was wayyyy ahead of the game for a long time, but then life got in the way & I went about 3 months with no planning. Now, I feel like I’ve lost my “vision” & I am so far behind. I was hoping to stay on top of things to avoid having to plan...

Now, I feel like I’ve lost my “vision” & I am so far behind. I was hoping to stay on top of things to avoid having to plan through the holidays & also to avoid piling things up at the homestretch…but here we are! How is everyone else doing?

    I'm April 23rd and I feel this—I had everything locked, loaded, and booked since the spring, so I've taken months off planning. Just now starting to get back into it and book a few meetings with the venue and such, and trying to pre-emptively think of all the little things that are going to come up (signage, programs, welcome bags, etc.). Also going to keep an eye out for Black Friday and holiday sales for things like bridesmaids PJs and such! We got this!

    We got engaged in December ‘20 & I had all the major items locked in by the end of March. Now I have to deal with the details & I’m just sooooo unmotivated! I’ve decided to scrap all of my DIY ideas & get Etsy to do it for me! 😂

    April 30th here! Totally panicking. I was so ahead and then life happened. Now I’m behind and the last few things I need to book are all booked solid. I have never been so stressed and cried so much in my life LOL!

    Hello,

    My wedding is on April, 24th and I am really starting to feel the time winding down and actually starting to get the jitters.

    I thought I had it all planned but there seems to be additional things that we want in our wedding such as videography and center flowers for our reception tables.
    People have stated most of the times wedding planning does not go as it was first thought out and now I am seeing why.
    I just want to get the wedding done and over now so we can go on our honeymoon lol.

    Hello, I spoke to you once or twice a back. Four months away and I already have everything lined up just gotta but a few more things. And I will be able to finish up my signs with my circuit maker and do my centerpieces. I have all my songs picked out just gotta purchase my bridesmaids dresses flower girls men needed to get fitted for their tux and I need to order my invites. I have to wait for taste testing at my venue before I do that cause my guest will have a meal choice. April ‘22 Brides: Anyone Freaking Out Yet? 1

    This is gorgeous! I just ordered my invites. We haven’t done our tasting yet either, we just know that we are going to offer a chicken or beef option, so that’s what I put on the RSVPs. We’ve got everything booked, but it’s the details that are stressing me out! I keep thinking I’m forgetting something (which, of course, I am haha). This is where having a full scale planner would come in handy. If I had the funds, I would definitely hire a planner for the homestretch planning. I’m super glad I have a DOC at least. There’s no way I could handle the stress of the big day otherwise 😬

    I I have no planner just the day of coordinator. Planning and decorating for stuff like this is right up my alley. I have not been stressed out snd have been buying my stuff little buy little for the last 8 months. I did my best friends wedding 3 years ago. I have my programs made I got them made on whit Kraft bags and inside the bags are rose petals with a message at the end of the bag about tossing the petals. For when my future husband and I exit the ceremony everyone can throw petals that match my color theme. These are my center pieces I made myself. I helped planned and decorate for my best friends wedding 3 years ago. This stuff is right up my alley and I haven’t been stressed I been having fin with it. It needs to get here soon so I can stop buying decorations you can never have enough of those. These are my centerpieces. I am excited not stressed. I will be stressed to day of. I just know myself.

    April 14, 2022 is the big day and it so crazy I was just freaking out the other day to my best friend/Matron of Honor telling her how overwhelmed I've been becoming I took a break as well with planning and it hit me... less than 6 month away from out big day!But I've been reminded that we can do this, everything I'm going through is totally normal but it'll all come together we just have to see it before we see it if you know what mean but im looking forward to this union. So im reminding myself it's a process, but it will be all worth it when the day gets here. Just readjusting our budget and actively paying things as we go.

    I actually been engaged for almost 2 years. And I was very motivated in the beginning so I got a lot of it done early which is why I just have minor details at this point.

    I'm getting married April 30th! My fiancé's home caught on fire in May of this year and we just put wedding planning to a halt. We're barely getting back on track, but still need to find a photographer, book a florist, officiant, and videographer! I'm freaking out and keep dreaming that the wedding day is a disaster. 😫

    Ugh April 9th and I’m seriously stressing. I avoided things between thanksgiving and now. I’m trying to get invitations finalized, they need to go out soon! I also need to figure out florals and centerpieces. I have no music figured out. I haven’t lost the weight I wanted too and my dress has thankfully not arrived because I’m dreading it won’t fit!! SO much left to do, I don’t even know where to start.


    We have our cake tasting on the 15th and my hair and makeup trial on 17th, so I need to start thinking about what I want for those too!
    I’m glad to hear I’m not alone in this stress and being unmotivated 😭
