I so feel you on the not wanting to be Bridezilla! I don’t want to overwhelm my bridal party, friends, and family with too many to do items for them the day of. But I love the idea of a diagram and written instructions, I might have to do something similar!
Stressing out! Still can’t find a caterer for the rehearsal dinner, lots of little details to sort out, hair and makeup fell through at last minute, I can’t talk to my MOH anymore about anything remotely wedding related, and I am having to plan my own bridal shower thanks to my MOH unofficially dropping off of planning it (without formally announcing it- just ignoring and hiding).

Get shoes ASAP! You need to have your wedding shoes at the time of the fitting. The veil and jewelry can wait. But shoes will be a must to get your dress fitter properly. Also if you’re looking for an affordable veil give Etsy a try.
Thus far, everything is pretty smooth. Just battling if I forgot anything, did I not send an invite to someone, need shoes, and the days are passing by so fast. Im getting shipments of items and I am having to return things bc of defect, not expected size, etc. We did a food tasting with the venue and OMG it was GREAT. That made me feel good. Other than that, think all is well
Hey ladies! My big day is August 8th. I have most of the big things already done but its all the little things that are driving me nuts. The big things were pretty easy honestly. The little things like decorations, gifts, where things go, table settings, etc. is what's driving me nuts. Its so tedious and I over think EVERYTHING. I think we're on the right track and about 75 % complete with everything. In fact, we are going today to get our marriage license. I think once I see this, it'll set in a lot more too. I wish all of you ladies the very best luck. I'm so ready for the honeymoon at this point hahahaha
I'm so sorry, Whitney! I'm in a similar situation with my MOH. She has made this more complicated and stressful then needed. The only thing she did was plan my bridal party shower, which was O.K. it was the thought that counts. She bailed on my bachelorette party and I planned + paid for it myself and has asked me to reschedule everything to cater to her schedule more. PSH. I've taken it all into my own hands. I worked through the KNot to get all my vendors. it was pretty simple.
I wish you the best of luck and hope you get everything sorted out!

Oh that’s terrible, Amanda! I can’t believe she bailed on the bachelorette! My MOH (also my sister) did plan an expensive bachelorette party that no one can afford (that I never asked for). She is sure to complain about the costs of it and throw it in my face if I ask for help. Says I’m now using her as a piggy bank. I haven’t asked her for a dime- I have asked for help with planning and asked that she just show up to events. She now won’t even show up to events like my bridal shower, citing poverty (after her thousands of dollar Vegas birthday party she insisted I fly to and attend and her $1400 purse purchase). I’m just remaining distant and trying to get through the wedding because anything I say she gets offended over.
They say all the bridal party is obligated to do is show up in the right dress moderately sober on the big day. I honestly wish I would have taken this to heart and not had higher than that expectations of anyone else because it’s bound to be disappointing. All you can really rely on is yourself, so I guess it’s best to just push forward on your own, although it is incredibly disheartening. I’m glad the Knot has some good resources for you! Hang in there.
