Burnt out?

Jessica, on July 31, 2019 at 9:36 AM Posted in Planning 0 15

Anyone else feeling burnt out from wedding planning? We are about two months out, I feel like there is so much to do, but I am totally burnt out. We have been planning since last July, and I'm just ready to get married and for the wedding planning to be over. Sigh. Is this normal? Haha.. appreciate any tips/advice from other brides who have gotten married already.

    Same! We have 44 days until the wedding. And I am so over it! We have only been planning since March but it's getting exhausting. I am ready for it to be done and over with at this point.

    It definitely happens. I was like that for a solid 2 months before the wedding. It all came together just fine though!

    This is totally normally. It’s a lot of work and especially if you are doing a lot of it on your own. Try to take a little break from it for a few days and reenergize yourself. Good luck!

    I totally feel you! I actually just took about a 2 week break from WW because I was just totally burnt out. I was so stressed it actually triggered a shingles outbreak on my face!

    I'm at the 2 1/2 month mark now, and I think I'm starting to come out of my funk. There was some planning stuff that was just really stressing me out. We had our cake tasting on Sat though and that was really fun and helped to bring me out of my funk. Plus, I'm now looking forward to my first dress fitting on Monday followed by my two showers and then my bachelorette party.

    Wedding planning burn out is real. Take a step back for a week or two and give yourself some space to breath. I think what you're going through is totally normal.

    I'm right there with you! I haven't had soo much to do in the past couple months, as I was able to secure most vendors in the first couple months of planning. Now I am 3 months out and realizing there are so many "little" things to do, but I'm mentally and emotionally exhausted!

    There was a period during my planning I got so burnt out I took a long break. So definitely take a break for yourself whenever you need.

    I'm not burnt out just slightly overwhelmed with planning timelines and coordinating with guests so I understand. I would take a step back and just enjoy some time with your FH. a few days off from planning won't kill you! Smiley smile

    I have 17 days left and can't motivate myself to do ANYMORE. I feel soooo done with all of this.

    It is very normal! I have felt like that off and on for the last year. When it hit me, I would take a break for a day or 2 and do something to take my mind off of it. Plan a day out at the beach or go for a drive somewhere or get together with friends and don't discuss wedding stuff. It really helped calm me down and refocus. We have 2 1/2 weeks left so there are different emotions running rampant at the moment. Lol

    I'm completely over it. Between finding last minute things to everybody getting butt-hurt because I don't want to do something their way, I'm just ready to be married and move on.

    Totally feel you on this! We're about 2 months out as well, been planning since March and most everything is coming together... I've had fun with the process but I'll be very happy to focus my time/money/energy on other things after the wedding Smiley smile There was a week where I felt completely overwhelmed, but it ended up passing - good luck to you!

    We have a month to go and I wish I could go to sleep and wake up the day after. I’m tired of all the family drama and I have been working 6.5 days a week to pay for this thing. I’m over it.

    Girllll sameee! I am roughly 58 days away and I am over it!!! I am with you, I just want to be married. I think for me it's just the little small things that I have to do like timeline, centerpieces, etc.
