Any May brides freeeeeeking out?!

ena, on January 20, 2013 at 1:23 AM Posted in Planning 0 20

Today was a very productive day. Site walk with the planner and rental company. Chose a caterer (yaaay)!! Food was amazing and excellently priced! My MOH/sister bought her dress, ordered tablecloth samples to check the color is correct annnnd I picked up the frames we'll be using for our table numbers! I'm exhausted and I'm freeking out and every 30 minutes my heart starts racing. lol. Tomorrow I meet with another BM to pick her dress and monday me and my husband-to-be will be picking up his wedding band and picking out mine! I'm so excited and sooooooooooo anxious. May is coming up way too fast. is anyone else have mini panic attacks?

    I'm super stressed. I have all the big things done, but the little details are what is creeping up on me. This weekend FH and I picked out the tuxes for him and the GM's and the ushers and RB. We also made the DIY name hangers for the BM's.

    I'm starting to stress a little.

    We still need:

    Officiant

    Centerpieces

    To finalize the guest list

    Invitations

    Tuxes

    Limo

    Hotel for wedding night

    Rehearsal dinner venue

    Chair covers

    To do our song list

    I hope that's it! Thank God we still have a few months.

    Hell yeah!!!! I can't believe how close it is!!! It was a productive weekend for me. I was able to order both Jr bm dresses. Go by the reception venue with both of my aunts (one is moh amd well the other Aunt is co-planner lol) stop by the seamstress to peak in at my dress. I have to go back today to go over details of the veil with my seamstress. I was able to go over some details with my florist. It's the little things that you forget about lol! I'm glad I was able to do some stuff like hotel blocks last year lol because I have wagging too much to do!

    I wouldn't say I'm freaking out yet.. but the anxiety is definitely setting in!! We are at 111 days and I KNOW once we get into double digits my anxiety is going to go up quite a bit. Like Monika said, I have all my big stuff taken care of.. but there seems to be an endless number of little things to take care of!

    Deep breaths! We can do this! Smiley smile

    Lots of May 4ths up in here - may the 4th be with you ladies!

    I myself am freaking out - it seems I eat, breath and dream wedding stuff. I was up until 5am trying to finalize our invites and program for a vistaprint order. Just when I feel like I can scratch something off our list, I realize we forgot something else!

    I dreamt last night I had to call the wedding off as my partner was cheating on me! LOL

    Not freaking out yet, just really excited and nervous lol. Not a terrible amount of stuff left to do. Considering we only set the date less than 3 weeks ago. Now just wanting to get my dress and the invites in so I can stop fretting about them.

    Freaking out is quite normal ladies! There are lots of emotions floating around and with so much to do in terms of planning, there's no time to process this amazing time of transition. I am an officiant and pre-marital counselor in the NY area putting together workshop to deal with the freakout. If you live in the area and are interested, please let me know! ****@**************.***

    I'm so behind. Still haven't even made and sent out my STD'. I'll be working on those tomorrow.

    Good thing it's a small wedding. Glad I was able to secure a venue that comes with decor, food, gorgeous space, chapel and reception room so I don't have to stress over that. Just the smaller things right now...which are still kinda stressful lol.

    Seems like you're doing great Smiley smile GL!

I have most of the big stuff done, it's just a lot of small stuff I worry about and how I'm gonna get everything done and plus paid for, the money is pretty much there just needs to be moved around and let me get my hands on it to pay these people and off my mind, boy I'm really gonna need that honeymoon!

    I am stressed!!! I have cried several times over the last 2 days. I have the big things done, but trying to find long chiffon bridesmaids dresses less than $150 is not easy...And yesterday my dad and brother got measured for their suits for the wedding and the receipt said the rental fee was $235 to RENT!!!!!! I cannot ask people to spend that much money for one day!

    Also, I was laid off over 10 months ago and still looking for permanent employment and fiance was laid off beginning of October... so my dream of the perfect homeymoon (or any honeymoon at that) is out the window. I am trying to remember that at the end of the day we will be married but the stress is getting to me...

    I wouldn't say that I am freaking out, but I would definitely say that I'm starting to feel the stress a little bit. Mainly, I am trying my best to follow these checklists but I am so worried that I am going to forget something. We did our best to plan things way early at the year and a half checkpoint, and now I'm a little worried that it's all going to snowball into craziness!!!! Smiley laugh

    Not freaking out yet, just getting excited. My main big worries right now is ordering our invitations and finalizing our decorations. I just can't make decisions on the decorations so I keep putting it off!

    @Jennifer - Where are you looking for your dad & brother's suits? We're getting ours at Men's Wearhouse and the total bill per person came to around $140

    I'm just glad to know its not just me! It is the details that have me stressing & the $$$!! I know in the end it'll all work out but the process of building a wedding from the ground up is so much pressure! Lol. Good luck to you all Smiley winking

    May 3rd here! Meeting with the florist tonight, and FH and I are taking off Friday to meet with the venue for time of wedding, and a cake tasting at 5:30. We also will be registering. I still need ideas for centerpieces! Im having an outdoor ceremony and reception, and don't know where to start. Dont know if I should use flowers or flameless candles????

    May 3rd as well! And I wasn't freaking out...but seeing what all you guys have accomplished and what little you have left to do might make me freak out. Although, I've always been a procrastinator - so I should have this!!
