Do you feel ahead of the game or behind the ball?

What’s your planning mood? Do you feel like you are on a roll and crushing your to-do list? Or are you feeling a little behind the ball when it comes to your planning?

    Ahead of the game, for now at least. We have most of our major vendors selected and deposits paid. The two major things that I need at this point (10 months out) are a caterer and my dress!

    Ahead of the game, I think! The to-do list is dwindling with just over 4 months to go! I’m sure I’ll start to feel behind again soon, though.

    Ahead of the game! All major items booked and already working on smaller things like DIY bouquets and centerpieces and I'm still 8 months out.

    I think I’m ahead of the game!....hopefully at least. Wedding is on Aug. 11, 2019. All major vendors are taken care of. Dress is going to arrive late April. Room block contract will be signed today or tomorrow. Next weekend we are ordering the sample bridesmaid dresses from Azazie. The guys have to get their tuxes still but I’m leaving that up to my fiancé. I’ll start bugging him as time gets closer if he hasn’t done anything but I think we are good for now Smiley smile I haven’t done anything with flowers yet, but I don’t plan on going crazy with them anyways

    I'm way ahead of the game. I started planning in Nov 2018 and the wedding is March 2019. Luckily for me it's a very small wedding and I'm very organized. The only thing I'm struggling with now, is the FH is being a pill about my wedding band decision. Everything else is lined up and ready to go. 31 days & counting!!! I'm so excited.

    I know I'm ahead of the game as I've had basically everything done that I could do since August 2018 but I feel behind lately. I'm at the point of having to pay attention to details and I am not a detail person. The last two weeks I've been feeling overwhelmed despite not having much left to do.

    I’m ahead of the game. I have my venue, and all the vendors except for one. Luckily, my wedding will be quite small.

    I think I'm ahead of the game, my wedding is February 2020, I have paid deposits for ceremony and reception space, and the DJ. I am hoping to have all vendor deposits paid by the end of February.

    With 80 days to go, I feel so behind, but I think it's kinda just in my head. Things are steadily getting done that need to get done, all the big stuff has been done for like a year now. The little things are killing me though. So scared to forget something.

    I feel totally ahead of the game! We have all of our major vendors, and I have a plan for making centerpieces since they each take a super long time to make. We even have our invites already. Granted they won’t be sent out for a while lol

    I go back and forth on how I'm feeling. We have major vendors booked and already started some of the smaller decisions, but I want to get as much done that I can now. I want to avoid as much stress as possible.

    I feel about even, if that’s even a thing.

    Definitely ahead of the game at this point. I'm sure I'll feel overwhelmed and stressed at some point, but for now I feel like I have so many details taken care of already...maybe I'm forgetting things?

    For now, ahead of the game! We still have a year and a half and I have a most vendors, some decor, and we have already asked our bridal party to be in the wedding!

    We're a bit behind, because wedding planning timelines are built on the structure of a long engagement, but not so behind that we need to worry. We're just going to get stuff done! Once we get a venue set I think we'll be more on track

    I think so!! You're not behind but you also don't feel like you're ahead..so you're right on track or in the middle!
